Billie, I hope you and Howard
Billie, I hope you and Howard are out taking pictures of all of this stuff because I like pictures and every picture deserves a comment, even if I can't figure out what it is a picture of. I wish the fighting men and women of Batavia would stop fighting but the Federal Government won't let them because we all know that killing outside of our borders is ok, if it is done for love of country and making the rich and powerful richer and more powerful and isn't that what love of country is all about? I'll remember the veterans, my dad was one, but I'll try as hard as possible to forget what they did for love of country. Hiroshima was for love of country, is that what the Jesus I don't believe in would do? If I thought he/it/the belief was real I would say hell no but hell is a made up concept too, just like the sick cult of dying for your country. Die for a good cause worth believing in, not for a country dominated by racist pocket lining illiterates posing as politicians. We the people are screwed unless we speak up and everyone appears taciturn in this time of need except for the extreme right and they are wrong. Why? Because I said so. That's the same logic THEY (the others) use.
Dang, slow connection. I
Dang, slow connection. I would remove the second post but I refuse on the no edit principal edict from our lord and publisher master Howie-O. After all, I am making history, don't you know. Can't change history unless you are a Republican and I aint, I swear with a finger on my taint.
