(8,747 posts)We worked alone together at night. He was just like me in my earlier life. He was part of what changed me, when I heard him saying the same things I would have said earlier. My thoughts were "How can someone so intelligent say these things?" When I realized that was me as a younger man that made me think very hard about myself.
He was a smart, hardworking guy, and we got along fine as long as we did not discuss politics or religion. He was obsessed like many extremely religious folks are, over "The Big Three" Abortion, Women's Rights and LGBT Rights.
One of his favorite things to say was "If the Democratic Party would forget about "The Big Three", religious people would vote Democratic in droves because of the Democratic Party position on being pro blue-collar." I kept telling him that was what the part was like these days. But he would not accept that.
