The 86 year old guy that lives next to me has always been a bigot. He has never had a problem telling people how much he hates the Blacks/Browns/Poors. It use to be that I could get along with him just as long as I did not bring up politics, no mas.
He has always been a Fox news fan and a trump supporter. I am not sure if it is age related or trump being prez, but he can’t go 5 mins. without saying it is about time we had a prez that will stick it to the “others”. This is from a guy that had a pace maker put in 2 years ago with Medicare paying 90% of the bill. Now it is screw them, let them die.
Norman Lear Writer/Director of “All in the Family” is a Great guy. He supports a lot of stuff like the traveling Vietnam Wall and the traveling Constitution, among other things. What I liked about “All in the Family” was at the end Archie had the AHA moment when he sees the errors of his ways, not sure about this but I think Carol O Conner had that as part of his contract. I don’t see that happening to this guy.
The other Great thing Lear did is give a start to Rob Reiner, without Rob there would be no “Princess Bride” and many other Great movies. I think I read that PB is the most quoted movie ever. “You keep saying that word”.:)
