    Hey. Don’t throw us under the bus. I was born in 63. Live in a suburb. Fat, bald, wife, kid - boring. But absolutely an ally. There’s no reason to reject me just because of demographics. You only harm the cause by thinking that way. When the fighting starts, we’ll provide safe houses, smuggle folks out of town, sabotage without suspicion.

    Please reject the idea that old = complicit.

      I apologize. I’ll do better going forward. I appreciate you being an ally. I took my daily interaction of being surrounded by non-ally boomers as a projection onto all boomers, and thats not right.

        My brother/sister/neither/both, we all learn and improve ourselves every day. If we didn’t have regretful things in our past, we would not be moving forward. I have had MANY regretful opinions in my past that were hurtful. I grew.

        Thank you for being open to me. Spread love and joy.

        True-ish. I consider myself to be of Generation Jones. But that’s not what I get called.
