Lincoln Chafee -a good and decent man. A better country boy

   An awkward and uncharismatic politician , Lincoln Chafee was not the RIGHT STUFF for governor or president. Not a bad Mayor of Warwick, so thought my late brother Ray. Ray was an electronic technician for the Warwick Police Dept. for 20 years. As mayor Chafee approved his plan to re-design the closed circuit monitoring system in the Warwick police station - in order to catch prisoner suicide attempts.
Lincoln Chafee was a weak voice for sanity and humanity on a number of issues. He was the strongest WEAK VOICE for near pacifism in the Democratic Party-stronger here than " socialist " Bernie Sanders.
He was unyielding in his opposition to the state death penalty. He did support the human dignity of gay people who demanded " marriage ". He did champion separation of Church and State- but in a rather mulish way. Not a few religious or non-religious humanists had no quarrel with THE PRAYER ON THE WALL at Cranston West.
Lincoln Chafee- a good and decent man. A better country boy !
