What I meant below is that I became aware of some behaviors of mine that served to alienate me from close friends in the sixties, and then I understand better why I always insist I want to be a non-conformist. It has to do with how I feel different than other residents. Aides tell me to not worry about other people - it becomes an issue of whether I "care." This is a way of not conforming to a norm. People here don't want anybody to worry about anything. 

I need to say something about what's going on outside this place. I'm so happy to read about March for Our Lives and other efforts to stimulate change at the grass-roots; also the progressive senitors who've announce a bid for President running without money from sum Superpacas.
