Where do you fall on the scale if falling for trickle down economics?

3. Character was a thing back then. Religion was about love. My grandfather

was at a town meeting one time and an indigenous man blurted out "you are a good man Dr. Chisholm, you are a good man". (Or something like it). He died in 1948 so i never met him. But most people did not have much. My mom was so proud if them and their work that she donated the property she and her sister had inherited from him, some forests he bought, they donated it to the rural presbyterian church where the farm was. My mom had moved away from there 57 years earlier. I think everyone learned from the Depression. Your grandparents sound darling. Needless to say the locals were very good to my grandparents right back. When my grandmother was 86 we went back to the village and needless to say the house was full of 60 to 80 people who came to see her at an 'at home'. Those people know community.

* character was a thing back then: racism, sexism, anti-semitism and homophobia of the society at large aside. Indeed the closest town to the farm was where Canada's Rosa Parks, Viola Desmond, was dragged screaming from a movie theatre in 1946 for not paying the difference on the tax on the movie ticket, to the more expensive "white" section she insisted on sitting in, and being put in jail for that. I think it came to a penny difference. Nova Scotia has been rectifying this for the last decade, 50 years after her death, and she is now on the $10 bill.
