I am more than happy to admit to my shortcomings: I'm increasingly short tempered, for example, as people simply dismiss the egregious acts of one political party (ie: putting lethal weapons into the hands of kids; accusing colleagues of being terrorists; calling for the murder of people with whom they disagree.)

I consider it a moral responsibility as a mother, grandmother and teacher to call out this kind of evil when I am faced with it.

I have been a student of world history for decades. I have friends in Berlin and St. Petersburg.
