Which may contribute to many on the right wing thinking that we think we are better than they are. How many of us here found ourselves being mocked as children in school by our classmates who either got lower grades, or who achieved good marks by never questioning the authority of the teachers? I always asked too many questions - at school, at church, on the playground. I thought that chewing everything over was really fun. My siblings and classmates thought I was boring. Teachers were a little worried about me. Oh, well. Them's the breaks.
Yep, me too. Even at my advanced age I can still be disappointed that others don't want to talk about all the whys and wherefores of the subject at hand. They think I'm argumentative. I think they're no damn fun.
I love students like you! I think I was always curious, too. I might not have always asked the questions, but leaned in for the answers when others did!

No damn fun at all!

I think we may have found our tribe here on HCR's Substack!
