I think I should have stayed in New Zealand instead of coming back in 2015 to spend my declining years in what was a good USA when I left for my retirement. What the hell is going on with the daily shootings (killings) daily political & media lies and slander?
Honestly, when we look back in time in any era, there were always plenty of wickedness going on anywhere on the planet. Due to our communication capability, we just hear about more of them and in great detail. @Holly Saunders Your picture is absolutely lovely. Thanks for posting it!
Ah, you're just getting old, Lon. Like today in El Paso at Walmart. couple guys just letting off stream.
With 19 dead and 40 injured, letting off that kind of steam in Texas will most assuredly get them the death penalty. This is the time of year people are shopping for school clothes and supplies with their children. Lots of them shop at WalMart. So, these guys are going down in a hurry.
No, not dead. But, but, but, it's more or less routine. One here, one there, one over yonder. We yawn and say, 'what else is going on. Have those Cowboys scored yet?' See my point? Kids may be shopping for school coothes and supplies and now many are dead, but in a coupe of days, we will have forgotten until the next big shoot.
@Bess Barber Perhaps this line of thinking, taking the lives of one's own offspring, stems from the relatively little-known fact that occasionally bitch dogs are known to eat their pups. Mama Cats consume the placenta and umbilical cords, but never have heard of one eating it's kittens. Frank
Personally, I think the whole damn world has gone crazy. Not sure living elsewhere would be any better, Lon.
I just woke to the news of another atrocity in your fair country. Please do something about gun control. to stop wiping out your population. We agree on this. Trump is alienating enemies and friends alike.. Putin stymying free speech.. and any objection to his authority. Xi Jinping flexing China's military muscle. For heaven's sake wake up you nongs!!
