HOUSTON: Watch it: You might get ripped off anywhere online

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | My husband called from work. “Get tickets for Alan Jackson. He’s playing the Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth on the 28th.” He’s our favorite country musician.

He grew up in Newnan south of Atlanta, with loving, decent parents, a family of four daughters and a son. His dad turned a toolshed into a house. Alan slept in the hall.

HOUSTON: One way to view the change: Seven post-election thoughts

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | What did we learn from the election?

1. Trump earned the white guy vote. They didn’t organize, demonstrate, or riot, but they voted. The Midwestern guy thought in accord with the Southern one: “I’m tired of being blamed for all the ills of the world.” Unemployment is a big issue for these guys, especially after manufacturing went overseas. Trump addressed their concerns.
