The country's gone to war and San Francisco's gone to hell. It's been reported that the protests are costing the city more than half a million dollars a day, and the Mayor has promised to take it out of the budget for health care, and the programs for the homeless. As I've grown older, I've become leary of strong opinions, right or left, it doesn't matter... I think strong opinions close your mind to new ideas and changing stituations. I think strong opinions limit your compassion towards others.
