(5,730 posts)You get a heart. For me, reading Harriott Beecher Stowe in grade school, grounded so read a lot of history, black nanny I loved, integration of schools and all the rude parents causing problems when the kids just wanted to be friends, assacinations JFK RFK MLK, JFKs speech, "ask not....," MLKs speech and my father telling me to stay home from school and learn from MLK and the marches on tv, moon landing, MLK saying you have to have something you are willing to die for, getting in trouble for reading Betty Friedan, civil rights marches before and in college, things my grandmother taught me about equality and the inconsistency of racism and religion, college after Vietnam, LBJ, Watergate, working in politics, law school, teaching, Iraq, healthcare ...and through life, several professions, and now this...Syrian refugees, bombings by Russia, another stolen election, treason.... I just keep getting farther to the left, or the other part of the country gets farther to the right.
