You're right! Of course, I've often heard that a life well lived is the best form of revenge. Danny proved that after he met and married Debby Elkstalker.

That is decent revenge, but what the comment was about was Danny tying his wife to the bed and turning her into a festering boil with a combination of capsaicin and itching powder and other vile concoctions. Now "that" is revenge.

It's a common theme in Wes's stories. Jennlynn and esp. Tanisha did some rubbing in their situations in their families' faces, but for the most part the main focus was in trying to live their lives rather than revenge.

I do not agree, I think that revenge is something you let happen with out thinking about it like what Boyd said the best revenge is a life well lived. Something I am still trying to teach my mother because she does not understand.
After 30+ years living with a narcissist where she had no control over her own life. I am trying to get her to do things she want to do, but it seems a long long long road.

but I still know she will get there someday, at-least I have to hope. its hard to get a person to live on there own when they have never had the chance to before in 59 years.

There are a couple good examples of revenge in "Absent Friend". Ryan Clark had hired a young man at Clark Plywood who had bragged how he had beat the draft and avoided the Vietnam War and was an anti-war protestor. Later, when Steve Augsberg became available to work, Ryan abruptly fired the first guy and put Steve in his place.

Later in the story, Gil Evachevski and the Vietnam veterans help the Amvets prevent the Post from taking over their organization by stacking the deck and merging with the Amvets.

In fact, I can't remember any other examples. I prefer Cody Archer's response to Bryson Payne in the last line of Stray Kitten is a better example of revenge but that's just an opinion.

What Tanisha and Jon Chladek did to Tanisha's brother Kwame in "Growing Together" was pretty cool, I thought. Pretty much ruined the guy's life forever, I think. They didn't do it alone, had a lot of help, but it worked well.
