“Just an aside – I don’t often say a thing like that, ‘in God’s name.’ I think it’s blasphemous. I was raised by God-fearing parents who never uttered an oath in their lives – well, almost.

“I do remember my father watching TV when Nixon resigned and him saying, ‘The damned Communists have finally won!’

“I didn’t really know what he meant at the time. I just remember being shocked that he would swear right there in the front room in front of Momma and me.

“I remember Momma swatting him on the thigh and hissing, ‘Judd! Hush!’ and throwing a look in my direction.

“But Daddy just said it again. ‘I mean it! The damned Communists have finally won!’ And then he got up, took his coat off the hook by the front door and went out.

“I heard the car starting in the driveway and saw the look on Momma’s face; a burning red blush and the shame in her eyes.

“That was the only time I ever heard swearing in my home, growing up. It seems to me that young people are irreverent nowadays. It’s f___ this, and screw that, and Jesus’ name attached to everything but what it should be.”
