I’ve always taken some pride in being out of the mainstream. For example, I’m the only person on the planet who has never seen the gangnam video. I do not give a damn about sports or religion (which seem the same to me). My views have been minority views my whole life. That is, a minority within the United States, not within my community.

I’m more than happy to celebrate a diverse culture. I’ve been surrounded by progressives my whole life. I can say truthfully that very nearly every aging white male I know is a progressive. Please remember that as we wave good-bye to those who don’t embrace change.

[updated to correct the spelling of ‘gangnam’.]
