Amen!
And yet, black GI's came back from WW2 and still had to sit in the back of the bus and could not vote, in some states. And Japanese-American
citizens came back from internment camps, where they had been sent with no due process, to find their homes, farms, and businesses belonged to someone else now.
I for one am glad those days are in the past.
you and me both. I do wish we could keep what was good and get rid of the rest. Manners is one thing I miss.
