Hi. Middlin' to solid leftie here, progressive with a dash of social libertarianism.

I'm female, married, 60ish, read, cook, garden, ex-Californian. We currently live in the Deep South, in a runner-up for the most conservative county in the nation, a place where consideration of a dangerously different world beyond the county line, or even just their piece of it, can bring out the very worst in some otherwise very nice people. Saying what I really think around here would be considered inexcusably rude by most, including me, so I come for chat about public affairs that doesn't stream Fox and Mark Levin and isn't driven by unhappy complaints from those who'd destroy the real America to bring back the lost one of their fantasies.
