It really doesn't matter. IT REALLY doesn't, in the context of today and it's issues. To me what matters is lack of personal responsibility. AND empathy. Does anyone ever not smile back at you because you like or dislike Christopher Columbus? Does anyone ever not smile back at you because of your color? That began to happen to me after Trayvon Martin was killed. I didn't do anything wrong but people are mad at me.
People are using propaganda to rile up people as if it isn't bad enough. People are ignoring important stuff in order to get all het up. People are looking to get mad. You cannot legislate morality and you can't make lazy people work, but you can pass laws that at least on the face of things makes thing equal. People are gonna be grungy awful and bully weaker people and make fun of people with less and those with handicaps, and people are going to continue to talk down to nice people who worked hard and never did anything wrong but get a speeding ticket when they were 17.
People see what they want to see. Patience goes a long way to solve the problems of the world and also working for a living and saving some money for when things go down the drain so you don't have to have your hand out to the "gubmunt" or pass a fake twenty.....let alone, all should try to stay off the sauce. No matter if the sauce is too many martini's or Fentynal.
