46. The mind boggles

Mon Sep 10, 2012, 05:45 PM

Sep 2012

I grew up in what was then the only Democratic majority county in Ohio. But my little burb was solid red, except for my father and a few others.

I left 30 years ago and never went back. I shudder to think what my own family (again, not father) and their friends said about John and Jacqueline Kennedy, welfare, "confirmed bachelors" - and their biggest beef - "colored people".

It hurts my head to think of it. Of course, none of them turned down their Social Security checks. Even my millionaire aunt and uncle.
