Another Lesson from Gilmore Girls
Regarding today’s politics, maybe Lorelei from Gilmore Girls says it all in a scene from season six. She is preparing to sneak a dog chain on her dog, Paul Anka, so that he can spend the night with Sookie.
SOOKIE: Hi! Paul Anka! You want to come have a sleepover at my house? Huh? [To Lorelai] What are you doing?
LORELAI: [As she sneaks the dog leash behind her back] Uh, he freaks out if he sees his leash. You have to make sure you hide it from him and make sure he doesn’t see you putting it on him.
SOOKIE: How is he once he’s on the leash?
LORELAI: Oh, he’s totally fine having his personal freedom slowly stripped away, as long as he’s completely unaware that it’s happening. Just like a true American.
