This reminds me of how dam lucky I am to have a mother that is reasonable. She used to be a greeny feminist until I (insert joke about giving her equal rights and lefts) told her other wise and she meet some of the people she thought she associated with (pot heads flea bags).

She was and as far as I know still is a university egghead intellectualist. She used to say, "You can think your way out of anything." Once I got into the real world and realized that literally wasn't true, my disillusionment began in earnest.

She used to say things like, "People need to be provided with jobs." Even at a young age, that never fully added up for me.
