Progressivism is a social disease.
Practiced by those who somehow avoided any REAL education.
And my father at age 13 came down with either typhoid fever or typhus, whichever is the deadlier one. He would be 100 this year. He spent a year in a hospital bed and a year at home in bed. He lived and completely recovered. But I have the letters he wrote home to his mom while in hospital for a year and he sounded really bad.
