“There’s always been an element of radical people and it’s just going to be redneck terrible.” He was right about this, and it strikes me as hilarious, well put and still relevant. This made me feel better about my experience of people. When people were cooperative and kind, they were golden, like life rafts in a vast sea of people. I acknowledged them completely and praised them for their empathy.

Hi Sarah, I agree! His quote was so spot on... and he said that at the beginning of the pandemic, before things got really heated and elevated. And, he was also so spot on about the need to be cooperative and kind. I've published his writings at letterstolouie.com if you want to check them out. Many more prolific quotes there! Thanks so much for your comment. Abbey
