34. I'm a white old lady.

I never felt the need to apologize for being white because I did my damndest to meet and treat everybody for who they were. I csnt say with absolute assurance I always acted correctly... but I always tried.

And through the years, white or not I never took home a paycheck equal to the guy working next to me who was taking my direction. Thus my SS doesn't approach my male coworkets... and I took a lot more crap from coworkers than they did... especially since it was the beginning of the Info Age.

All I ever wanted was commiserate pay and recognition. The only chance I came close to was while in the military and Fed service. And now they've stripped that from 2/3s of the American people. I have news for Vance... thats not something to shout with pride. It's a darkness for which he should be utterly ashamed... if he were a normal human being.

Evil seems to triumph in the short run... but in the long run, people want peace, opportunity, friendship and cooperation. These "always the victim magas" will eventually be dealt with. And they definitely are not going to like it.
