No. Just. No. I suppose if you don't pay much attention to anything other than what's directly around you...but this just read as some white lady whining about things. This isn't a unique experience. Religious extremism, prepper stuff, homeschooling as means of anti-gov't stuff. This isn't a strange or singular experience in the US. Didn't have a birth certificate! Oh golly, you don't say?! Father was worried about the Illuminati?? WOW! *sigh* Very disappointing.
