Great thought Jocko!
I may be wrong but I also note, of the 3 grandkids old enough to vote, all voted conservative. I think the time spent talking to them as youngsters opens the door to them listening to serious discussions when they are older. We can't start dialogue of "cause and effect" too young. Tales help get them listening.
There's great wisdom in your words. I wish I could infect millions of klunky parents with your insights.
