That notion only made sense if you had a strong man willing to step up and get things done, and between Dad's gimp, Buster's elaborate excuses, and Apache's tendency to disappear, it was often up to me to keep the place from falling apart.

Propaganda is that branch of the art of lying which consists in nearly deceiving your friends without quite deceiving your enemies. ↗
