44. How did I do it? Hmmm.... I'll tell you...
We spent a lot of time not discussing life, economics, poverty, the suffering, the way Repigs have destroyed our country. We went to movies, restaurants, dancing, and ignored the way Repigs have been hurting this country and its people for 31 years. He was romantic, bought me gifts (no, I'm not greedy nor required them, but it was a token of affection), told me I was the hottest woman he'd ever known, embraced my family.

And then one day a discussion came up, and OH MY FRIKKIN' GOD. I was ready to literally kick him.

The discussion was about the homeless. He said (get this), that it was 'useless' to give the homeless money, because they'll just spend it on liquor.

I advised him that many of the homeless are not drunks, and that even the ones that might be, got there because of f*cked up economic circumstances, or because they had a lot of troubles, emotional and other.

He said that a lot of them could easily clean up at a homeless shelter and go work, and work their way up. I asked him if he thought everyone started the 'life race' in the U.S. at the same spot, or if he thought some had a lot more going for them than others.

He responded, "It doesn't matter."

Hell broke loose after that. I called him a sociopath.
