    we live in a very, very, conservative country. And as our population grows older we will continue in this direction. The older we become the more conservative we become. The older we become the more apolitical we become. The more apolitical we become the more politically ignorant we become. The more politically ignorant we become the more children we have that will become politically ignorant. The more politically ignorant we become the more macho sound bites become important.

    The older some become, the fewer old ones there are, and the younger the country becomes.

    I have never in my lifetime seen figures in political office like AOC or Cori Bush, who just won in Missouri.

    The young educate themselves my friend. My daughters are very politically savvy and they did not get what they know from me or my wife–they learn it on their own.

    That is precisely what I mean when I say : The people that should be having children are not and those that shouldn’t be are. I doubt seriously they learned nothing from you and your wife. I know nothing about your relationship with them or your wife’s but IMO that is simply nonsense. They must have unless you are not part of their lives-which I very highly doubt. !

    At bottom is the fact that you and I may be a part of a dying breed. And that makes me sad.
