The true believers, on both sides of thr aisle, are no more representative of American political and social creed than Donald Trump represents employers. They just make the most noise. The epithets found in these replies reinforces my assertion that we have stopped listening to anything that doesn't fit into our little packets of principals. I am, neither, wealthy nor privilaged but I do not envy or resent those who are. Some of them have worked long and hard for their bucks. Some have been born into wealth and that doesn't bother me at all. I will leave whatever I have, to my daughter and my grandson and, if it makes their lives easier, hooray. I have been a Marxist, in my day, but age and experience have taught me that Harpo was more cogent than Groucho, Chico or Karl.
