True enough, I'd say. But at your angriest, early in your writing career (I think), you had a great capacity for humor. In "Imagining the Reservation" (in LR&T) you offered the formula Survival = Anger x Imagination, proposing that imagination was the only weapon, but I countered (somewhere in print) that your formula should've been divided by Humor. You never have lost that capacity (genius?) for humor.
