Harry is a legend in his own mind. He fancies himself a wit. He's only
half right.

We had a very progressive mayor in the mid-1950s, and there was a
lot of community pressure to "dump" school prayer locally long
before it happened nationally. I don't recall how it was handled
within the school system, but I do know that at the grammar school
I attended, it just stopped in about the fifth grade. By the time I
got to junior high (we had seventh through ninth junior high in
those days, no more, though), there was no morning standing and
pledging.

One of the delights of New Haven in those days was the mish-mash of
cultures and religions, to the point where no group or sect really
dominated. The public schools did close, though, on the Jewish high
holidays, for which everyone was thankful!
Did you fight to get that religious holiday taken off the secular
public school calendar?

Fight to get a day off from school eliminated? Unlike you, I was
smart enough to graduate from high school.
What happened to your secular society Mr. Yale graduate, Dr. MD Wife,
36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat, worked for a General (which side we
still don't know) during the Vietnam war, offered a big job in the
Nixon administration, owned a big Hatteras? Did I forget the smartest
son of a bitch on earth too?

With me you get the truth but, with you we get the lie of the moment.

I remember, quite a few years ago, being warned that if you tangled
with Harry you would end up on the floor in a pool of blood. Well I am
not afraid of Harry. I see through him and he is nothing but a mean old
man who resents the world for passing him by.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, and now you see what you get when you answer one of Joes drunken
queries. Someone like him questioning my parenting skills or yours is
just obsurd. He shows all the signs of an abused child, gone to the
bottle. Pitiful, but he seems to deserve his self loathing, brings it
on himself I am sure...

Wow. I wasn't even part of this discussion at the point where Bert was
responding. Whatever you're distilling out behind the barn, it must be some
serious stuff.
