Churchill said, "If you are not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you are not a conservative at forty you have no brain." As suspected, I have no brain. Fried by alcohol, perhaps, as most here think. But I find any label of a particular political bent as a form of insanity or mental illness. Effectively, it is saying, "My POV is tainted, skewed, in a certain direction." What about a brain that is objective? What about a mind simply dedicated to what is best? Isn't it a direct betrayal of humanity to be conservative or liberal? What is the gift of Reason?

We take it for granted by tradition and a long history that a bicameral system of government is best. That is absurd. It is pretext to support bias and ease egos. "I am prejudiced because of this and that and listen to me." Too funny.

Thinking naturally should be divorced from all labels; a label is not thinking. It is a mental defect. Our impasse of the Left and Right is silly playground drama.

Even though we disagree on most issues I still wish you a happy birthday youngster. (Oops, "youngster" is a label. Please forgive me.)

Happy Birthday... I am approaching my 80th the end of July, however I sorta vowed I would stay 79 for awhile 80 sounds so terribly old...I voted for JFK my first opportunity to vote for President in1969. At that time I was attending BYU, a Mormon college in Provo, Utah. I had enrolled in German 101 & the instructor,a return missionary from Germany said the 1st day that since the Presidential elections were on he was going to take a brief poll each week by the raising of our hands. "Who's voting for Kennedy?" I proudly raised my hand & as I looked around, I quickly realized I had the only hand in the air...I don't remember how the rest of the "vote" went as I suddenly felt "all alone"...So sure enough each week for awhile I raised my hand alone & gradually other hands joined me so that by about the end of the Semester perhaps about half the class had joined me in raising there hands! The class was about 30 - 35 students as I remember. The elections happened & a day or two later I returned to class & merely walked in with a big smile! I did very well in German studies & earned an "A" for my first in a foreign language. I thought I must have an innate talent in linguistics so the following Semester I signed up for Russian...BIG MISTAKE...I persevered & ended the 2nd semester with a "B" in both German & Russian...not bad I thought...I also had to take my Junior Proficiency exams that 2nd Semester & ironically I scored very high as apparently taking 2 foreign languages stimulated my knowledge in English. This was an unexpected bonus! I then left Provo & BYU & returned to Salt Lake City to the University of Utah. I had met a young lady who soon became my wife & I resumed a job I'd had before attending BYU, Cancer Research Tech. My new wife had 2 young sons who I eventually adopted. This was 1961...1963 came & JFK was assassinated...I was devastated!

I became a "student" of the JFK assassination for the next several years. The Warren Commission was a "Sham" Oswald was a "patsy." Ruby shot Oswald...Ruby was a pasty...WE learned that the JFK "kill" shot came from the front wiping away much of the right side of Kennedy's head...I believe there were more than one shooter & suspect Oswald was not a shooter...the Warren Commission made their claims which I & millions of others doubt...to me Democrat & Republicans & CIA & FBI & others (may) have participated in the Kennedy assassination...then we had the Teddy Kennedy Assassination & the MLK Assassination... a decade of assassinations...What was America becoming I thought? I became a wish-washy voter...not voting if I didn't like the candidate & along about 1988 I had to register Republican to vote against a man I couldn't stand in the primaries...I have remained GOP ever since...dems are a "failing" party...something has to be done...I am so glad that Donald J. Trump came along & decided to be our current President I hope he survives to be a 2nd termer...I will sure vote for him...I will also vote for all the Republicans who run in 2018...I will probably never vote Democrat again... I did continue college, slowly at times, & eventually graduated in 1965 with a B.S. in Psychology...didn't have time for more languages...soon had 4 boys to raise...

Note, he said liberal, not leftist, and conservative, not the far right extremist.
