I didn't like the political forum, but since it was shut down, I have turned a corner. I now am very interested in world events and of course have my views. I am entitled to my views. I am a senior citizen. I have learned a great deal about how differently others see the world and it has caused me to think a lot.
In for a penny, in for a pound. It doesn't take long for people to figure out where you stand. It does eliminate close relationships with people who loathe your views, but it does open up new friendships too.
I want to talk and discuss and get upset over what is happening in the world today with people whose views I respect, and some whose views I do not agree with.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't feed you, hug you, listen to you and drive you to the doctor and care what happens to you. Meanwhile you have the opportunity to think how such a nice person can be so narrow minded.
Ain't a whole lot of years left. I am finally interested in world affairs and want to talk about them and lecture and yell and steam and .........well you know.
