are lucky. My step grandson, my only relative offspring besides my avuncular connection with the one neice who will communicate with me (a populist democrat raised in the Krishna schools who rebelled and joined the army then went AWOL), now 6 years old, is picking up on TV stuff like the pop programs and kindergarten culture plus his mom’s apolitical lethargy. I’ve been trying to get her to register to vote, but am beginning to get it that she just wants her private life. OK escept that she does share issues like health care expenses and what if I threaten to get off the student loan that I’d co-signed with her that we’ve been paying off? Her upbringing was the Church of Christ and she did rebel from that yes but perhaps that’s why she is apolitical as a way of denying authority, don’t know. Anyway, will check out the link. Maybe it will be good for me, as I missed out on progressive stuu as a kid, being in the real Gothic days, the cold war era of the fifties. A sad little robot I was.
Aw heck I like the link all right I’ll send it on to my neice; she kas kids! Thanks.
