And yet another rant

 Yesterday I took a friend to get some things done.  On our way back home we began talking about many things among them the idea that white is always right.  Now my friend is Black, or as she says "chocolate" and a very good Christian.  We talked about aging in the old days and I said people didn't live as long and she told me her ancestors did.  The only thing I could think of as to why this was, and I told her this, was that before becoming slaves her ancestors had to be strong in order to stay alive in Africa what with all the wildlife and the conditions of the weather, etc., where my ancesters didn't have to contend with that and I believe that made us weaker.  However, I am a mutt of a few different European species, Scot, Irish, Welsh, German, and a few others I haven't found yet so I think that my goal to live to be 104 will be an easy thing to accomplish because mutts live longer than most purebreds.  We had a good laugh.  I enjoy talking to her because she accepts me for the fool I am.
