One of the first times The Sopranos tells you exactly what kind of show it is comes when Meadow asks Tony a very simple question: “Are you in the Mafia?” Tony doesn’t answer like a criminal who has been caught. He answers like an offended suburban father. He talks about waste management. Italian-American stereotypes. The insult of his own daughter believing such a thing. “There is no Mafia.” It would almost work if Meadow were still a child. But she has lived in that house her entire life. She has seen the money, the visitors and the way certain conversations suddenly stop when she enters a room. She isn’t asking because she needs information. She is giving Tony a chance to stop insulting her intelligence. “Dad, I’ve lived in the house all my life.” That is the line that punctures the whole performance. Tony thinks he has kept his two lives separate. Meadow quietly tells him that the separation never existed. Eventually, he gives her something: “Part of my income comes from legitimate businesses.” A perfect Tony Soprano confession. Not quite a lie, but nowhere near the truth. He admits just enough to feel honest while keeping everything ugly safely unnamed. And Meadow sees exactly what he is doing. The strange part is that Tony almost seems proud of her. She figured him out. She is smart enough to see through the waste-management story and force him closer to the truth than most people ever get. But closer is as far as Tony can go. He wants the intimacy of being an honest father without surrendering the secrecy that keeps him alive as a gangster. He cannot have both. That conflict is already there in the first season. Tony can hide evidence, intimidate witnesses and lie to investigators. But the FBI needs proof. Meadow doesn’t.

Rosaria Butterfield boldly sharing truth at the Answers for Women conference this weekend, apparently after eating a breakfast of Grape-Nuts sprinkled with gunpowder: "...It's a sin to tell a lie, but it's also a sin to believe a lie. And so, there is no such thing as a gay man or a lesbian woman or a transgender woman (and then you can fill in all of the different categories that come under the umbrella, LGBTQ). And the reason is because, in Genesis where we have to start, we are given our identity. Our identity is in the image of God, bearing it as a man or as a woman. There are two kinds of people in the world—a man or a woman. A man who says he's a gay man is a man with a sin pattern that Jesus came to help set him free from if he will mortify it, repent, believe, go to war. It's very hard to do that. I'm not suggesting it's easy, but that is our job, and you know what? It's not just somebody whose indwelling sin is homosexuality who happens to have that call. It's everyone, because we are all born in the sin of Adam. And it is because of the sin of Adam that we have sin in our nature. And that quite frankly means that every person in this room needs to wake up every morning, drive a thousand fresh nails into your choice sin and do that before breakfast and then do the same thing before lunch. And if you do that, Satan's gonna get a little tired of you. But here's the problem, homosexuality is the only sin pattern with a civil rights group behind it. And therefore, people who are deceived, as I was and Christopher [Yuan], by the lusts of our flesh have a cheering community behind you, and this is where you get the rub. You see, it used to be that the church was clear and the world was the world, but because we have wolves in shepherds' clothing, we have way too many young people who are leaving the true church and claiming, 'Well, my same-sex attracted pastor told me it's not a sin to be gay.' And you know, we are to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. I want to be gentle with the people who are trapped in the lie of LGBTQ, but I am not gentle with the wolves...I quite frankly think they need to get a job selling insurance until they repent..." [Apologies for my shoddy video skills, but sadly, a big monitor was placed on the stage, blocking my view of the speakers for the Q&A.]
