12. its hard to tell where it will end.

i still hold out hope that people will wake up and decide to bag all of the BS that we've been fed over the last few years.
its harder to be optimistic than it used to be but i still try.
i was not really a church guy either but i was taught a clear set of morals which i think most in the community shared.
my parents were kids during the depression too. they led frugal lives and did everything for themselves. i have kind-of inherited those traits. i remember before my maternal grandparents, who were poor dairy farmers, even had a car. they had a tractor and horses but no car. i was enslaved on that farm every summer of my youth. it was hard work for a city kid but some of my fondest memories are from those times.
i fight the hate every day. with my students and within myself. it is poison.
i've enjoyed this exchange. thank you for sharing your ideas and for answering my long winded responses.
