FYI - GD is right about my father. He can be a total pompus prejudiced ass. We've had some doozy arguments about the big issues. I know he loves me, yet thinks that I'm part of the problem with the world today, calling me a yuppie liberal behind my back, a grevious offense in that house.
And conversely, I don't like his attitudes or behavior, in fact believe he's a hate-mongerer, yet I still love
him, regardless. Hate the sin, not the sinner.
