i say do it! go surprise him, if he was really as excited as he was, im sure he will be more than excited to see you again in real life, regardless of anyones views on anything.. maybe theres more to why he hasnt gotten back in touch with you. did you write him back to ask why he hadnt written or did you just leave it at that?

I also think you should just randomly show up! Maybe he lost your address or email or whatever.

He even fails at socialism, I believe you. Frankly I just think he hates white people and wants to make us all pay for slavery still. Read his books, they'll give you some insight and make great toilet paper afterwords.

First: Welcome to SG, Hope that you have some Fun here.
Applause accepted.
Obama isn't even a Social Democrat. Keep in mind
that the Far Right Wing of the GOP is so out in LaLaLand
that Moderate [ not even Centerist ] Republicans would be
seen as Socialists. And IF he's a Socialist: WHY The F** is
he trying to save Capitalism?

We still have two cats, two dragons, a tortoise that is getting pretty big and a fish tank.

Leave your cousin alone is my advice. You were fine without him before. If he wants a relatioship let him seek it out and lay down some ground rules. Just because he is family does not mean he has the right to walk in and out of your life and hurt you over and over.

How goes the battle? Uphill both ways?

I see them all winter.

Haha
