David Horowitz’s auto-biography of his younger days is Radical Son.

https://www.amazon.com/Radical-Son-Generational-David-Horowitz/dp/0684840057

His parents were Communists in NYC and he was raised to believe in the tenets of Communism.

He did not come over to our side until he realized the Black Panthers murdered someone “for the cause”.

Life events are sometimes what it takes to destroy the old paradigms.

Good book and a good example of the epiphany some have.

I’ve made more than one liberal cry and yet they doggedly return to the vomit.

You are correct, I’m sure that happens.
Seeds sown may take time to root.

The world is not messed up. Millions of individuals are insane and delusional and see the world as messed up.

My approach to things is to try to look at as much info available, weigh it in my simple little pea brain and decide which “truth” is mine. There is so much garbage out there and I such a skeptic..................... Anyway, have a great weekend.

Truffle toothpaste?

Damn, and my dental hygienist just put me on baking soda toothpaste.

What am I missing here?

Oh, well, I guess if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it.
