12. Some of the wealthy elite are on our side & all to many of the rest of us aren't.
Things are never as simple as all that. Speaking for my self, there are days when I want to get out and change the world
in my own image, and other days when I just want to be left alone. I grew up with politics. My Grandad was a IWW organizer
on one side & a German Socialist who fled Hitler on the other. My Dad was a CIO labor organizer. Politics was always there
& arguments got kind of loud sometimes, particularly when my racist uncle who worked for Union Oil was around. I spent time with SNCC & SDS saving the world (it's the Family Heritage said Mom). For my whole life I've seen the struggle change
every day (this vs. that, ying vs. yang, red vs. blue). If there were only one struggle, or one cause, things would get damn boring, wouldn't they?
