bluehibiscus I'm not going to lie and say I like Farrakhan, I'm a pacifist and I'm not cool with his attitudes towards Jewish people (prejudice does not excuse prejudice). I do agree though that often times strong leaders form minority groups are often demonized, I think...

bluehibiscus There is no "best" age and things don't always work out the way you plan, I would have said 28 or so, but there was a happy accident shortly after I married and now I have a son.
