I can present and defend my beliefs...to my satisfaction. But the
presentations and defenses presented by others, seldom brings about a
change in my thinking.

we
got stuck on the subject of children's books is that I made a comment on
Nolan's comment without specifically saying it was his comment. He was
saying that he resented, "slogging through", all those titles of books in
foreign languages, but apparently, it didn't bother him to "slog through"
titles of books that were obviously aimed at elementary school age
children.
Nolan loves reading books about the second world war. Lots of people do.
They see the Nazis as the villains, but Lana was channeling Donald Trump
when she began talking about people from other countries running for
congress who don't respect America. And Gerald is Jewish and lives in New
York City. One would think that he'd know better than to complain about
foreign language books. I've corresponded with him privately. He's a loyal
Democrat. I'm sure that he is also a loyal Israel supporter. Lana said to
me that she and I disagree because we are getting our news from different
sources. There you are. Alternative facts!
