Strange. You used to agree with me totally, or at least that is what you said.

I have not changed one iota, except a very lukewarm feeling on our new President, mostly based on his character and lack of transparency, items that you used to agree on.

On the issues, I am the same Bucco (Rags) as always. My personal or political feelings have not budged.

On race, which is suddenly your issue, I have not changed a bit. I recognize the issues you label as race as economic issues, and always have.

So, my "far out ideas", and for my own good, I feel I should clarify, do not include any of the Alt Right, white supremacy, radical Russian views. I still read the media, which suddenly is hated, but I do read, and not simply accept. I do believe, unlike some, the media is vital to our democracy. I believe and have not changed for years in immigration reform that includes what has already begun....tight and nforcement of existing law, but not a vocally claimed Wall, nor the refusal to allow one religion to come to our country.

All how I felt in the past.
