My maternal grandmother was a font of wisdom in my youth.  She worked hard jobs for most of her life, but I never heard her complain.  She was among the last of the “Frontier Women”.  Born an only child to parents of German-Swiss origin in the 1880’s, she was orphaned at an early age, and sent to a girl’s orphanage in Denver. Rescued from that institution at age 14 by Denver philanthropist Molly Brown (later to be known as “unsinkable” after surviving the Titanic tragedy) she was trained as a domestic servant and later “properly” introduced to her future husband by Mrs. Brown’s major-domo.  She survived the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 and went on to raise 4 surviving children, after losing one to a childhood disease.  After I had a bad experience with a grade school bully and came home crying and despondent, she asked me “does he look mean”?   When I allowed that yes, he always looked angry, she nodded and said “what you are inside eventually comes out in your face”.  I always remembered that statement, and found that it indeed applied to most of the unpleasant people I encountered in life.  So, the next time you see the smiling countenance of Hillary Clinton at a staged rally or the like, ponder the picture at left.  I believe that face is the true person hidden behind the smiling Kabuki mask. Do you really want that individual to be the next leader of our country? Think about it……………..
