Finally, I'm on the correct side!
I've been painstakingly replacing documents lost in my sudden departure from Thailand, which is difficult to do without said documents.
While getting a New Mexico photo ID, I went ahead and registered to vote, and became a Democrat for the first time in my life. When I went to Thailand in 2010, I was still a registered Republican, and conservative Christian.
I turned against Christianity and Republicans when I observed the racist and misogynistic behavior during the 2016 election, and began defriending my Haiti missionary MK (missionary kid) friends for posting racist and bigoted memes.
I went to Thailand after one of my university students showed me bird photos he'd taken in Thailand at Khao Yai National Park. I decided to go also, and taught there to keep my work visa. I'm a fanatical wildlife and bird photographer.

So you live in New Mexico, I did back in the early '60s. Used to go out to hunt squirrels, saw a few but the are hard to hit as they run fast. I did not pay to much attention to the other wildlife. Lived in Zuni, south of Gallup, Mom was in the Public Health Service. Now live on the north coast of Oregon, talk about wildlife, more here than I have seen anywhere else. I need to go through my pictures and put them on here so others can see them.
What happened in Thailand to change your beliefs?
