Abbie was the most fun to hang out with. Of course, I was younger back then. Both Angela and Mark Rudd were more serious people. I've never met Neil, but have seen him in concert a few times. My brother met him at a house party on the west coast, and said he was fascinating to talk to.

One of the things that seems different to me today is that republicans have no shame. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like the worst ones would, upon being exposed, decide to spend more time with their families. And the republican base wouldn't constantly vote for the most unhinged of human beings. They would be ashamed to be publicly identified with a Trump yard sign, for example.
