I was at least somewhat successful but never lost my morals. Maybe it is because I understood economics rather than ideology (and trickle down and deregulation for the financial sector are ideology, not economics at least on the macroeconomic side). I fully understand what wiped out 30 years of work for my children with the collaboration of Democrats with Republicans that lead to my personal crash. Whether before my family's personal tragedy due to a decision by the Clinton White House to collaborate with the likes of a Phil Gramm, I always was able to understand and stay on a moral compass. My children have that same moral compass. That is worth is more than when I successfully had them a secure future. They understand the darkness they face two fold. I still understand the difference between someone who would screw the majority of people for a profit but are not racist and homophobic between those that screw the majority of people and are racist and homophobic and prefer those that aren't. But in addition, I prefer those that won't screw the people period. Now that I have been humbled as much, I'm more than ever committed to trying to present a moral compass. I'm successful in knowing my children have a moral compass too. Now that it is involving hate and murder, I am more determined to express compassion, level headedness, and humanity as well as protecting our home, the earth, for future generations. It is only recently I have begun to tire. Therefore, my sons have to carry the load.
