Uh huh.

TBF he did come from what sounds like a working class Irish area with all the intolerance for other world views that that implies and at least graduate to a form of liberalism.

I don't speak from a lofty position where I throw lightning bolts of shade as I myself have come from a somewhat similar background I imagine and got plenty of programming that I've had to recognize and discard, and a lot of that **** still looms very large in my brain and not just subconsciously. You just can never become complacent as if making some progress you're proud of means you can sit back and pat yourself on the back and say "Mission accomplished!"

What if you want to?

Every man and woman is a work in progress.
Except me, of course.

That's what alcohol is for.

It counts as progress if you discard a failure and build a better one.

Oh well. Time to rub down the fillet.

Are we allowed to answer this honestly?

You know I'm right, Donald.

Age is no excuse. America has enough people whose beliefs "aren't up for debate."
