Stop digging Mon Ami.

She said it and she never retracted it.

When she said it she didn't mean to say, "There is such a thing as society"

I really can't believe that you are saying that this is what she meant??
I can't believe that you two are getting so beat up about something that was said thirty two and a half years ago and which has no significance whatsoever in the current climate.
