I don't actually believe it; that was a throwaway snarky joke. In fact we have made much progress politically and socially, and I am very proud of the fact that my ancestors played important (if small) roles in making that progress. Which is why I do what I do politically and professionally. I don't want to lose that progress to the Know Nothings, who have been there working their malign influence from the beginning.

I also know about (and respect you for what you did) things like OCD, being myself Autistic/ADHD (if you know what it is, as I have learned, it becomes a superpower when you use its capabilities, rather than the curse I thought it was all my life before going to work on the issue).

The one thing folks like us have to learn is not to be so literal minded all the time - use that power when necessary. Good on you!
