I notice that my age has caused me to be more outspoken than I used to be.
I am surprised Dilly spoke out, but she did and to me and how I was raised,she was right. Sometimes being silent isn't the right thing to do.
I have rarely shared my views on politics except with my family and close friends, nor even had passionate views on world affairs until this last decade of my life. It could be part of our human development that as we age we speak up on things that we had not previously.
I have defended you many times on the political forum Rubicon, because I have read your posts for many years. This one is true to you and doesn't surprise me. We are who we are and don't have a whole lot of time left to be here and to speak up.

Words are powerful and words have different meanings from a sender to a receiver. The word "typical" to me carries more emotion than perhaps others owing to a past experience?
Words such as all, always, etc are absolutes and the only absolute is death...However this is one absolute we ALL try and avoid
it is not in the human experience for any of us to "always be". etc If it were so perhaps more of us would play more consistent golf
There are times to speak up. One such situation for me is to see a child being mishandled by a parent. I'll speak up every time. Children should be treated as a "protected species" both mentally and physically
