Apparently there is a liberal gene. It took me along time to find mine, but I'm sure I have it. For all my working years I was a passive Republican, financially conservative, socially unconscious, and politically inert. I did my job and expected politicians and public servants to do theirs.
After retirement some 17 years ago as a physicist/engineer, I began to think about other things and found to my surprise that I must have a liberal gene. Now, I'm still fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and a flaming liberal politically. I have compassion for my conservative friends as they were not blessed with this gene.
Occasionally, I write a letter to the editor of the Albuquerque Journal, but newspapers are a dying breed, so here I am blogging against all my previous expectations. Open to new experiences, I'm trying to go modern despite my 74 years.
