17. No snark or attack here

And you are totally correct, not wrong, just different.

But when my dad made me stand up to a neighborhood bully he had my back in a way that lasted a lifetime. And yes, that was when boys used to fight, and I do not approve of it today. But he never bullied me or anyone else in the neighborhood again.

Taught me a lesson I have not forgotten. Not the fighting part, but the standing up to Bullies part.

And I am an old white guy who has been a fan of Hillary for quite a while.


Have a great evening. It is easier after last night! I am as fired up as I have been in a while. Several of my sensible republican friends are not voting for Trump. Only one admits he will vote for Hillary, but a republican vote for Johnson is a vote for Hillary.

She won me over as well PatSeg Jul 2016 #1
