Sometimes I wonder why we don’t have a national identity…and then I remember this, and why it’s sometimes good not to have what others do.

    I used to be this angry and hateful too. Politics was the easiest safest channel for it, the opponent or target if you will is not actually in front of you; they are not actually real in your life. Nothing really to lose. Except yourself. That hole can get pretty deep. I really do wish you well.

      Not sure who you think is angry or hateful, Larry. I know it’s not me. If it were, I’d be a conservative; they’re fearful of everything, including themselves. But thanks for the nice vague comment, anyhow.
