Stewart, Thank you for this "Q and A" session. During the live chat I was called out for being (essentially) a racist for my real time contributions. I'm 76 years old. I lived through the Civil Rights, Viet Nam, Woman's Rights struggles. I "get" where you are coming from. I support where you are coming from. All I ask of you (your followers) is to deeply appreciate, learn from, the folks of all races and creeds, who sacrificed so much including their very lives to get us to this place in time - a precarious purchase no doubt whatsoever - that we cling to. Don't forsake our elders. They ate shit so that we could carry on their good work. Their good work necessitated compromise and - more importantly - a quality of temperance that transcends hate, fear, and anger. Stewart, you are a gifted writer with a growing following. Be wise. Do be always canny. Be you.

Thank you for your wise words and support! I’m sorry the conversation went the way it did and I do not endorse that! Please continue to stay in the conversation and be the source of encouragement you have been.
