9. I'm "only" 69, but I know what you mean, anciano!

The lack of civility, a sense of decency and humility, and just the all-round "mean-ness" of the republican party is mind-blowing to me. I know, on their own, people are generally good. But damn, get them into groups of two or more, and they're blood-thirsty. I absolutely do not like living in this time... and I'm not at all "traditional" in any way, shape, or form... except that I believe in helping where I can help and not tearing someone down just for kicks. To me, that's our "traditional"... and it has been since the 60's. We were intent on building a world of diversity and tolerance back then... and we never gave up on it. I'll be damned if I let the last of these generational outcasts make me give it up.
