Having lived half of my 70 year life in Big Sky Country, the recent seeming acceptance of bigotry, racism, sexism and misogyny in no small way floors me. The first half of my life growing up in inner-city New Jersey, exactly in the shadow of Lady Liberty, in a more ethnically diverse community than most, gave me, what I feel is a blind eye toward race, color, creed or sex. This as far as acceptance, equality and respect.
