Not quite sure how old you are, but me... I grew up as a young hippie in the late 60's. Talk about going against the tide! I've been a rebel my entire life as a result and like you, nothing gets under my skin today more than being inundated with political correctness from all directions. I live life, tell it like it is, and pull no punches. One thing is for certain - when you swim against the current your entire life, you become strong because of it. uv
