I don’t know how one can dislike someone they don’t know. Sad to be that way, at your age.

Allow me to add just one element of context to your "cultural surround" with respect to Judge Bork and Senator Kennedy. LINK - Sen. Ted Kennedy's "Robert Bork's America" Speech Many consider Senator Kennedy’s savage transmogrification of Robert Bork into a grotesque disfigurement of judicial temperament to be a political process watershed. From that moment, from that speech grew the term, “to Bork”, I.E. to defeat a candidate through character assignation/destruction. Today’s toxic political discourse may have many “headwater tributaries”. One may be called the BORKING.

“My cultural surround is disappearing into a larger scale of human time, diluted, like a river that reaches the sea.” Well put.
