re: #135 Walter L. Newton

I give you a whole-hearted pat on the back for that comment. That was about as honest a statement that I have heard someone admit too in a very long time.

Being a liberal white as the driven snow middle class kid who grew up with two parents who love each other and both graduated from college (and not any college, they went to William and Mary!) with a dad who worked and a mom who stayed at home but slowly began to transition into the work force as we got older and two cats, I more or less grew up in what amounts to the picture perfect American Nuclear Family, a member of the upper middle class whose parents currently own three homes, (though two of them are more like hotel suits than actual homes) I have a wonderful capacity for self-deprecation.
