Politics
I'm what many would call, an old white guy. I never thought much about it until recently but I am totally ashamed of my demographic, speaking on a generalizing basis. My demographic seems to be in control of the government and they definitely should NOT be.
A little background: My great great grandmother on my father's side was a freed slave. My grandfather on my mother's side was hispanic or Native American - nobody is quite sure. And I'm proud of both heritages. Both of these facts were apparently family secrets I discovered recently through genealogy research. Most of my heritage is from Scotland and England.
I had one rule my entire life of 7 decades. Never discuss politics or religion. Never. And I never did. Until now. Times require people to speak up, IMHO. Hence, this section of my blog.
Read at your own risk. If you disagree, go away and don't come back. No need to try to argue. If you agree, I'm happy to have you here. We are kindred spirits.
