        Hadn't meant to pry. Often when you see someone fixated on the evils of a particular party, if you sift through that far enough it turns out they were idealistic supporters early on that then became disillusioned, even bitter. Since you so often point to the racism and corruption of the Democrats, I wouldn’t’ve been surprised to find out you were at one time a big Bobby Kennedy supporter. Or that, however preoccupied you may seem to me by the Democrats and the president, that maybe some of that comes from outrage and a very personal sense of betrayal. If not personal, then of that early idealism. Even the staunch climate change denial might make more sense if it were coming from someone who'd once been sore concerned about The Population Bomb , The Limits To Growth, and Silent Spring.
