In some ways things are getting better, Tw, but because of the neocon hyjacking of the United Sates government but because the world is full of incredible and opimistic people who care for their fellow man.

I'd like to think of myself as one of those people. Yeah, it would be easy to bee so bitter that I'd just quit but I don't. I am still quite involved in my communtiy and believe in the basic goodness of man. And this , in spite of a life long struggle with causes with which I identify and causes that I have not been a spectator...

I don't know "hubby" but from what he has said I would probably find him to be very much in the "angry white man/complainer/spectator" category. Hey, someone has to do it?...

He like to invent stories about what I think and what I don't think. Fine, that is his constitutional right. But I'm probably one of th4e more open folks here so if you want to know what I think, what I've done or what I'm doing then, hey, I'll tell ya....

On the other side of the coin you have angry-white-hubby who likes to preach but won't atke any questions after the sermon. Well, preachin' is one thing. A monkey can do it. Teachin' is quite another beast. This is where you enter into dialogue (which hubby refuses to do)...

I'd guess that the ol' hub-ster can't get too far beyond the bumper sticker cliche's....

"Tax and spend", grrrrrrr.... "Liberals"....grrrrrrr "When guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have guns".... grrrrrr....

Yep, ask them a couple questions and they are like the deer in the headlights....

Purdy much the way the "Brownshirts" were in Germany in the late 30's...

Maybe hubby should punch into his Google thing "brownshirts" and read a little about folks who were very much like him...
