I'm 75 yo--raised as a fundamentalist Christian in the South. I was taught to hate communists, queers, blacks, and Catholics (who breed like flies and live off welfare), especially migrant Catholics. In my 20s, I became woke and decided that I did not want to live with that much hate inside me. I tried to be a good Christian but I saw so much hypocrisy around me that I decided to leave that group of people and make friends with people who loved more than they hated. I had to learn compassion, not just for them, but for me too. Because life is good, but life is hard. We don't need to make it any harder for anybody. If I look down on someone it means someone is looking down on me. And I don't like that feeling. I wasn't raised to be 'woke.' I just grew up and began living as a decent human being who enjoys lending a hand to others.
Ok, this is great! Now, may I ask you a question? What's the collateral headcount damage due to Helene? I've heard the crap from the conspiracy theorists — what is it really?
Well you sure seem a fit example of a smug self-righteous Democrat. Why we need several third parties of concerned committed Americans who want our country to be what we were led to believe it was.

I live right up the road from you in Boone. Your descriptions of life in these hills is spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Wow you come out swinging with this piece! A little over the top but hey it's your piece so who am I to criticize.
Question is, why is Musk still here?
