“We all have rosy memories of a simpler, happy time- a time of homemade apple pie and gingham curtains, a time when Mom understood everything and Dad could fix anything. "Let's get those traditional family values back!" we murmur to each other. Meanwhile, in a simultaneous universe, everyone I know, and every celebrity I don't know, is coming out of the closet to talk about how miserable they are because they grew up in dysfunctional families.” KnowsValuesUniverseMemoriesGrewMomDadGrew UpUnderstoodTraditionalMiserableApplesComing OutPieClosetsCurtainsFamily ValuesDysfunctional FamilyRosyHomemadeSimultaneousApple PieHappy TimesTraditional FamilyComing Out Of The Closet Author:Cynthia Heimel
“When [my dad] was at the University of Michigan, my mom was a social-worker. As he rose, he voted for [Adlai] Stevenson initially. Then he voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower. Then he kept voting Republican until he voted for Barack Obama. So that's kind of amazing. But he was offered a cabinet post by Eisenhower in his second term. So he was moderate Republican. But if you asked him, he would've said, "I don't have any politics. I'm a business person." Mainstream, the American view, as he understood it.” IfsKindPersonsSaidSocialTermViewsMomDadRepublicanUnderstoodRoseWorkersUniversityMy DadMy MomBarackPostsVotingMainstreamModeratesCabinetsMichiganSocial WorkerBusiness PersonDwightDwight EisenhowerUniversity Of MichiganVoting Republican Author:Bill Ayers
