Mary, I am going to be blunt. I have no problem with compasssion fort others. My entire political outlook is based on a detailed understanding and compassion of humanity.

However, I loathe the word 'empathy' because it has been taken up by a bunch of self-righteous mal-adjusted people who are virtue-signalling. They want to be seen to taking the moral highground.

For that reason, and that reason alone, I have spoken against 'empathy.' I think it's a load of crock. I don't think they people who speak about empathy have one piece of compassion for others.

I have plenty of compassion and undderstanding of humanity - far more than most.

I lived in Houston, Texas for two years. I lived in San Diego for 9 years. I have travedl to half of the States in the America. My daugher has lived in Houston and other areas of Texas for 7 years, so I understand far better than you think

There is no way I was doxing anyone. Most of the people who have written here share that view.
