Plenty of people grew up in similar circumstances. There are all sorts of self help groups. A good therapist would be able to help you find them.

I love to read and I love tellign people about obscure/underrated authors.

I’ve been heralding Tanith Lee for decades. Writers like Neil Gaiman and Poppy Z. Brite are pale imitations of the original.

Ross Thomas. Washington reporter turned crime novelist. “The Porkchoppers” is about a Nixon Era Union election. Dozens of characters, ranging from DC power brokers to street level fixers, are all trying to cash in.

Dan Fesperman. Best new spy novels.

I’m still trying to figure out why people think that yelling about Socialism is a great idea.

The Right figured it out years ago; go along to get along. Reagan was smart enough to put the first woman on the Supreme Court and made African-American Colin Powell his Number One guy.

It’s like they’d rather lose and be able to talk about how noble the cause is.

edit =getting down voted, but no one bothers to actually explain why they feel the need to use the unpopular term.
