Yeah, but unless all injustices are addressed, and any preferential treatment is given based on race or skin color, there's still injustice. Or is my logic faulty?

I can also remember seeing those spouts used on gallon cans at the service station.
Now,one of those might be quite collectible!
Dad cut the top out of the gallon cans and ran some wire from side to side to make 1 gallon pails. Very useful size. And the price was right.

I think we see things the same way. I'm just not quite as optimistic about everyone else trying to better themselves through that method. Too many want someone else to do it for them.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. As an old dog, I kind of disputed that.

But seeing the difficulty I’m having adding that word “woke“ to my usable vocabulary, I’m kind of now believing that maybe you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!

It’d be nice at your “wake” for folks to say about you that you were “woke”. ;)

Some place around here is a spout that screws on to a quart jar for oil.
