blood pressure

I understand completely. I read down to about post 22, and have to leave the thread because of the same thing. I don't think there's another issue that gets my blood boiling as much as this one.

I have attained a certain age at which it is permissible if not desirable to pretend to a degree of wisdom concerning the world and even concerning oneself. My considered reactions desert me to be involuntarily displaced by a visceral cry of frustration and even despair over the general apathy concerning our immigration threat.

A part of wisdom concerning oneself is to understand that fear translates into anger and I must confess a degree of fear for the country which manifests in blood pressure when I contemplate the threat to every institution our culture has produced, a culture and an experiment in representative democracy which has so benefited us and much of the world. I have children and grandchildren and might even live to see great-grandchildren but it is perhaps only a function of advancing age to fear the world which they will inherit-or perhaps it is a part of wisdom.

I guess that's longer than one sentence.:-)
