2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'll be 70 yrs old in May 2016. [View all]djean111
(14,255 posts)105. I will be 70 next March. As a woman, I did my share of struggling; my early years
being the first woman programmer at a large company were full of my objecting to things and almost getting fired. I had friends who died in Vietnam, friends who came back with kidney failure caused by Agent Orange, denied help by the government, a friend who committed suicide.
I was aware of everything you stated.
And to me, Hillary is the antithesis of those values.
No matter which values she is embracing any given week.
No one should make generalities based on age or gender or race or geographical location.
Illogical, cheap, and easy. And pretty much wrong,.

So sometimes pointless wars of choice, justified by lies, are ok, and sometimes not?

No lower middle class family in the 50s-60s could even aspire to live in a house like the Rodham's.

Hillary's family was not lower middle class at all, upper middle class and comfortably so.
