A tale of two sons.
* My son, grows up as the atypical young male in a rural north Georgia setting, graduates HS with honors, goes to local college, then graduates from KSU.
He goes in conservative and comes out hard core libertarian, with a healthy dose of federalist in him. Very wary of the power, a govt. has and wields. Has a supremely sharp mind, employs strategy and tact to all lifes bumps and curve balls, also does so with impressive results and ease. He is 23 this year and I couldn't be prouder of him.
* Step Child from woman I divorced 6 years ago, appears to have conservative mindset as he goes from middle school to HS, graduates HS with honors, goes to KSU and promptly comes out of closet, turns into the socialist wet dream as a young man. Rails against the conservative principles while being hypocritical in every aspect and utilizes all his time to shame any others who dare believe in another way of thought. Uses Alinski tactics and social media as a weapon against all who dare share a different belief. Also wields his special snowflake status as a tool to coerce.
Son has become a man and with the strength / substance that any man would envy.
Step son is now 22 and a socialist man child.
I'm so proud of my son and so very happy to be rid of that ex wife and the three ring circus of freaks, that that house was.
School, peers, teachers, professors and College do things to kids. Some see through the bullshit, then call them on it and some just end up being part of the problem, instead of the solution.
That is all.
