This is why I don't like political discourse. I don't know what the eff to say. I just try to keep my own house in order, and it's "in order" now more than it ever has been in my life. My father, a staunch Republicans good, Democrats bad, voraciously anti-union type who told my mother on their wedding night that the only reason he married her was to avoid getting drafted had a horrendous final five years that's the stuff of a Stephen King novel. My mother, on the other hand, was raised by two earnest teenagers during the tail end of the depression and the WWII years, and she always tried to see the good in people. She worked until she was 75, and when she passed she left a nice nest egg for all of her five children, and the memorial service for her in late February 2017 was jammed to overflowing. I wanna finish like her no matter what happens politically.
