Keep me on your list. I like your emails. Freedom of speech is so critical right now and it is true it’s very difficult to speak freely about personal opinions without getting shamed or rejected. It’s unfortunate. If those who are upset at your writing don’t like what you are doing, add a large unsubscribe button. Great work - stay strong. K.D. 8/28/22
