First, Bray that was a great summation of the two conventions. Described it quite well.

Second, goodness. My nephew, age 18 and accepted at Middleton college in Vermont (a college I never heard of) went to his campus this past week.

What a mess.

First, his name is Matthew and though so young, he is very conservative and says he will be a senator at age30 and president at age 35. He has been to a few places in the world, one doing a mock UN during which he was appointed whatever head of the UN is called.

I’ve talked politics with Matthew a few times. He is really in to it although last year his mother left her husband of 20 years, declaring herself to be a lesbian.

Her sister is also a lesbian, is married to a lesbian, and they each have a young son.

These facts might hurt Matthew’s chance at president but I say better to die with a dream unfulfilled than to have lived never having any dream at all.

Anyway, Matthew was told that it won’t be long before he is “cancelled” due to his conservatism.

It was a mess. Father should go back and bring home? What is it with these kids and highfaluting colleges? How about two years community college, finals two years in state university, never mind silly respect by a bunch of stupid people.

How good can this college be when they cancel you for believing differently than the school itself thinks you should be?

As of now Matthew is at the college, full scholarship as he is very, very smart.

Let’s hope they don’t treat him too badly.
