I have a lifelong reputation of "being tough but fair" and that hasn't changed. I don't hug a tree and call it a chair.

I've written many articles "calling people out" as the younger generation calls it. We used to call it constructive criticism. I don't know if there's any hope for the site overall. Liberal politics have invested the site and along with it, its outlook on life which is 'here's your trophy for showing up'.

I grew up on a 5-acre farm. The oldest of three girls. Work is all I know. Nothing was automatic and automated back then. (Yeah I'm old and I don't hide it). While auto anything can be a good thing, like all things in life too much of anything is never good.

All you and I can do is shine the light and lead and hope those truly worthy will follow. Those who take shortcuts never make it in the long run anyway.
