Yeah, I got hit by the luck truck when it comes to my family. And I appreciate your sympathetic words for my Dad.
The guy's my hero, he is strong and gentle and he and I would both do anything for our family. He's proud of all his kids, grandkids and great grandkids. He's been happily married for 60 years and by any measure leads a very happy and fulfilled life.
I shared your note with him and we had a good laugh (sorry, but it was kinda at your expense). He asked me to be nicer to you because eveyone has issues we don't understand, and said that this discussion can't be that much fun for me, shooting fish in a barrel. So I'll take his words of wisdom and stand down.
Have a nice day.
some racist-sorts believe character is inherited, along with manners.
I think socialist have bad character because they choose to believe certain things which are not true, which justify political causes and such.
You and your dad, and a lot people, have no one to blame for what you are beyond your own choices in life.
I can't imagine what it's like to believe we should let socialists run the world.
