re: #37 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I also admire people who can rise above their upbringing—thank you for showing us it’s possible, Mr. Fish.

I’m a hereditary Democrat, raised by Roosevelt-worshipping New Dealers, so I really have no idea what it’s like.

I always wonder and hope that had I been raised in a conservative and or Republican household that I would have challenged those views but as you say, people like you and I really have no idea what it’s like. It’s also nice to see the conventional wisdom about liberal in youth to conservative in older age flipped on its head some.
