I have stood in graveyards and watched more friends lowered into a grave than you and Molalla have ever had. Those friends who are still alive are comprised of the religious and political spectrum. My group of friends are different than yours. No one in my group of friends is looked down upon or shunned because they are of a different political or religious belief or who they did or did not vote for.
We as a collective group believe each individual has the same Constitutional guaranteed rights as anyone else. We also believe slavery which had masters and subservients was abolished by the 14th Amendment in 1868 and no one, no longer has a right to dictate one‘s political or religious belief to another.
