I'll never get to acceptance. Bargaining?? I'm not even sure what that means. Went to a Forum on Where To From Here at the county library in my home town last night and I saw no solutions. It seemed the elephant in the room was barely mentioned. It was a start for me anyway, I guess . Just leaving the house was a start as a white nationalist family lives less than 60 feet from my front door. The one thing I won't do though is give up fighting for progressive causes. All things will come I guess but never ever acceptance.
