Interesting background you have. I'm glad you are one of the smart ones who figured stuff out.
Thank-you for the well-wishes.
Actually, I married a Jewish libertarian late in life, who moved me to Arizona with him. If I had stayed in Hawaii, I would have been a complete radical and I shudder to think what I would have been responsible for.
My thing, is that I will always speak out, even if the venue is completely filled with dems and leftist. I am still pretty, and men do approach me and they think because I have exotic looks, I lean liberal. I am not politically correct and I voice my conservative views. It freaks some of them out. But I don’t let them get away with poisonous opinions unchallenged.
