You could, but you'd miss all the little meanderings he goes through.
Just when he gets almost stiflingly clinical he goes off on a jaunt

Damn, why did I just get this feeling of being back in school and Mrs.
Richards standing over me in English class? ;-) BTW, she was my
neighbor and favorite teacher, feisty as hell and back in the days
before, not afraid to box your ear when necessary. She even gave me
hell in my, or her, own backyard when necessary.

Sounds like my kind of woman! A teacher who taught because she loved
it. Lucky you!

And her idol, George W. Bush, is still the center of all that is evil in
this country. There is no terrorist conspiracy against America that is
any larger than Timothy McVeigh's. Bush needs a reason for the
squandering of America's resources (and enriching himself) and he found
it it a Saudi, Osama bin Laden, who was a CIA lackey. We set him up in
Afghanistan and now he is a nationalist. We helped him defeat the
Russians and now he has us in his sights. If we create more "terrorists"
in suppressing him, the more money Hallibton, Bechtel (Sen. Feinstein),
will make.

I wish you two the best.
