I am real. :)

My goal was never to change anyone's mind, it was just to start a conversation to get us all thinking more strategically about the bigger picture. And you and I are probably both thinking more strategically as a result of our intellectually stimulating conversation. I confess that my view is myopic because I am in the middle of it. It's great that we can agree to disagree on points and still talk about how to make the world a better place re: the things we agree on.

We do have something in common! We were both pushing for practical solutions for virus control and we both failed. I was trying to get hand washing stations set up around my community, like at the bus stops. They are only $100 each, so I figured we could GoFundMe and set up as many stations as we raised money for. I ran into several roadblocks and no one was willing to join forced to help me get them set up. Since homeschool takes up most of my time, I didn't have the time/energy to keep pushing for them.
