I know about the fucktons of catastrophically horrible aspects, but that’s no reason to deny the positive ones. oh, and my wife was able to contact the woman from India who had been her BF in high school, who she had feared been killed for political reasons.

   i’m a liberal/progressive, and love my right-wing relatives. Also am Facebook “friends” with some righties, but not if they’re nasty. and yr above defintion of “liberal”- it’s a doozy. new one on me! i also have a few “conservative” beliefs (yay teddy roosevelt and his conserving nature). also agree with rightie editorials at least a couple times a month. your all-liberals-are-alike nonsense is just silly. anyway, best possible fortune to you, no snark or irony intended.
