In my book, you are a genius — a very creative, loving individual.

Personally, I would have guessed you were referring to drugs. Why? Because that was really close to the vest.

When the Peeper mentioned the Black lynchings in the old South, my mood went that direction as well. As a Caucasian, I still feel so sick about it. Those white Southerners while a real embarrassment to my entire family when I was growing up.

As you know, I lived in Georgia for 11 years. When I first got there, a new younger generation had made a significant impact on the slow process of changing the culture. But the older generations, the rednecks in particular, never changed. They just had to shut up and grudgingly accept their world was being flushed down the toilet by far more intelligent, compassionate people half and even one-third of their age..

That was in 1980. Today, so many Northerners have moved there over the years. Between them and my native Georgian friends, much has changed. One older generation dropped dead (not too soon I might add) and the other is too old to have any impact on that society.

In fact, the major fork in the road there nowadays is the Religious Right, who refuse to bend in their spiritual intolerance.

But hell, at least they’re not hanging any non-Christian spiritual people.

BTW: I don’t know if you ever heard Blood, Sweat & Tears version of “God Bless The Child,”
but check it out. I was in high school when it was released. I think you will love you’ll love it and admire its production.

Life’s most precious aspects are fragile and fleeting.
