LEE KRAMER'S ROOM: With Views

[dukeb]

we do not live in a theocracy,

Not yet, we don't. I was speaking to someone recently who lived in Iran until he was a teenager. He laments what has become of that country and fears that the US is on a similar path. A few years back he spoke to his son's high school history class, telling them what life was like in Iran during the 1970s and what it is like there today. Granted, the days of the Shah were not great for everyone but compared to what is going on there now...

His 86 year old father is getting ready to spend a few months back in Iran. He plans to have some work done on the family home and will try to sell it. I wished him well.
