To: Leaning Right

I have always tried to avoid bad language and for the most part have been successful.

I actually have never heard either of my parents say a dirty word and they lived for 90 and 85 years respectively. Once my Mother was really angry at a woman and the best she could come up with was “that Flapper”.

Despite that, there is no way I would want my every word or conversation to be made public and I really would not want all my thoughts to be known.

Me too. And the older I get the more successful I am at it. But I will not pass judgement a person based on a few off-color comments or jokes. What matters is how the person acts when it really matters.

Trump has passed that test, IMO.

LOL! One of my favorite lines from the Wizard of Oz was Auntie Em’s put down: “Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn’t mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I’ve been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can’t say it!”
