another elitist snob bites the dust
But I really liked the times article today. It paints a really interesting picture of him as a person... It almost makes me wish I would have met him... almost...

Originally posted by duecerI consider it cheering whether there is a smiley face or not, honestly. The man's views were differnt than yours, and so? He had a funny accent... and so? He was well educated, and yes he made some bad choices in his life .. he was a a chain smoker fer one.
its not cheerng unless I add π or π΅, he was however an elitist snob.
As a conservative, I despise Hillary and bill and Obama for their liberal views, however I never wished them ill or death or anything of the sort. I'm sure person to person they are charming, just misguided in the direction they want this country to go.
I reserve wishing death or harm for enemies of this country, like Castro, his brother, chavez, stalin, Hitler, Hirohito
And even as much as you tick me off at times, I hope your doing well every day. I figure at some point in time something may happen to have you shift your views.... or someone. but if they don't, so what? Views and opinions are just that.
