Make Them Accountable
Description
And this is for those who ask who I am, where I come from, and how on earth I ever got involved in politics.
I was born in April of 1944 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I remember the separate schools, separate movie theaters, even separate bathrooms and water fountains of the segregation era. And unfortunately I must tell you that I didn't think much about it. But fortunately I wasn't taught to hate anyone. So when black people started asserting themselves, when I was a teenager, but especially when I was in college, it struck me as reasonable that they should do so. OF COURSE they don't want to sit in the back of the bus, I thought. OF COURSE they want to go to the better schools. But I never demonstrated for civil rights, and many times I have regretted not doing so.
I used to admire Ayn Rand's writings, and the first time I voted for president it was for Goldwater. Once I began to get knocked around by life, I realized that not all the bad things that happen to a person are entirely his or her fault. So it's only right to help people when they're down and out.
