When Dad read the verse to his mother, she laughed in his face. “I got some pennies in my purse,” she said. “You better take them. They’ll be all the sense you got.”
This is the first comments by a family member identifying the father with mental issues.
The comment was given by his own mother.
In the fathers mind the idea of purging the house of milk, yogurt and cheese and to rplacing it with50-gallons of honey, is either escnetric or a phrophacy.
Reading a passage from the bible several times with widen and alert eyes believing its an inquiree from the Lord. Could be escentric or something more, possibly mental illness.
“History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we are literally criminals.
I attest to this: the world is not white; it never was white, cannot be white. White is a metaphor for power, and that is simply a way of describing Chase Manhattan Bank.”

“The genius of America lies in its capacity to forge a single nation from peoples of remarkably diverse racial, religious, and ethnic origins…. The American Creed envisages a nation composed of individuals making their own choices and accountable to themselves, not a nation based on inviolable ethnic communities…. It is what all Americans should learn, because it is what binds all Americans together.”
