Holy cow once again. I was in high school for most of the time you have written about here. I was a strong student and went on to a great university, and, once again, you have taught me more in this essay about my own life than I knew yesterday. With ongoing appreciation to you. Time off I hope.

This is where we are today, lots of folks not paying attention, and not believing they need to, and not voting.

Worse, the airwaves and "news" is faux. THIS is the time to get out the vote, register nonvoters, raise some consciousness! Join your local Democrat club, lend a hand.

Wife and I are marching with county Democrats tomorrow in our July 4 parade.

Yesterday, I knocked on doors of registered independent voters in working class neighborhood, and found three conservative households who will vote straight "D" this autumn

And I think I found three, or maybe four, families wanting Democratic Party yard signs!
