Jim,

Your intentional ignorance is showing. You have chosen not to research the Australian 1996 gun law but decided to spout infantile statements about moving to Australia. Patty chose to make a ridiculous comment about a gun entering a room. If there was a meeting to discuss the Australian gun law I could picture you running around the room with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears chanting la-la-la-la. Like they say "ignorance is bliss".

ON GUNS AND GUN LAWS:

I'm on the side of self-protection and against gun violence. the old meme, "WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS." Is true. Many responsible, law-abiding citizens will become outlaws because we will not surrender our guns. Gun violence is not a matter of politics. Republicans and Democrats, left or right, are guilty of it. It is a matter of mental illnesses not being recognized and treated. The mentally ill have been released and institutions closed. I am aware of the mistreatment of some of the patients in these institutions, but that is no reason to turn these people out on the street. Many of them are sleeping and deficating on our streets, and most are now drug addicts. It now looks like many of them are now in our political system. Again, both sides of the aisle. Until we start recognizing the ROOT of the problem, things will only get worse.

Frank,

Thank you for constructive comments.

DeWitt,

You are absolutely correct that it is imperative we get to the root of the problem. We must ask ourselves why does the US have so many more mass shootings than any other industrialized country.

Well I researched the gun laws in Australia and would suggest you subscribe to Newspapers.com.   I do it in part while im researching on ancestry.com.  Im not mormon but have been interested in my family and other people i know or have met.  If I do you; the only person who will know it is the person im looking up. Only that person would get what I found out and no one else.

Newspapers.com is worldwide.

So I did see Mike Lorts #11424.  I held off but it looked like Mike would really like to know.

Before that; Mike someone said your family ran a furniture store.  whats its name do you still run it. Im curious maybe you give discounts. Do you and Harry run it.

I did see notice of people in general in Australia in favor of tougher gun laws but were answered with other things need to be done first like conflict resolution, health, mental health, domestic violence.  The papers I read were from Sydney, new south wales, Australia. and Melbourne, Victoria, Victoria Australia.

Also The Age from Victoria was the same as Sydney in views.

In the Sydney Morning Herald in 1999 both feb, 25 and april 22 it was mentioned that adding tougher gun laws "was a quick, cheap, simple and popular idea but then again if they registered hammers, screw drivers or tougher car laws could also help. the mention of problems in Australia was with criminals and not the law biding people and laws didn't do anything to stop that"

I was shocked when they wrote about America being a land of gun problems but also felt "large percent of the murders were black on black and that the blacks made up 12 per cent of the population and the other 20% murdered but with another weapon vs a gun." They also said it was safer being white or asian in American.. even latinos were safer than being black."

I recommend that you subscibe to Newspapers.com especailly if your into research and you want a middle of the road oppinion.

Dennis.

IF in your Sainthood, you have decided to  detest Gun Ownership, and it blows up your dress if anyone of the rest of us have a Gun or Guns, then hastily depart. Our dear soutrhern neighbors, Mexico, does not allow citizens to have Guns. Move there, you will be amongst likeminded peace loving people, just make sure you pay your yearly or perhaps monthly or even weekly Protection Money to the local Cartel that is the authority in the state you reside in.

Or if you choose to tough it out, and remain here, but you want to distant yourself from those of us who own and use guns, I will send you 3 signs 6 feet by 4 feet, that state in Red, White, and Blue letters "THIS HOUSE IS A GUN FREE HOUSE, NO ONE HERE HAS PROTECTION WITH THE USE OF FIREARMS. WE ABHOR IT:" AND IN ORDER TO GET THESE SIGNS, YOU MUST PROMISE TO POST AT LEAST TWO OF THEM ON YOUR FRONT LAWN, AND ONE ON THE ROOF OF YOUR HOUSE. Please Hurry, these signs will be going quickly, probably quicker than the Departures to Mexico by you Anti-Gunners.

Dennis or anyone interested,

Simply Google: THE EFFECTS OF THE 1996 NATIONAL FIREARMS AGREEMENT ON SUICIDE, HOMICIDE AND MASS SHOOTINGS
This will give you everything pertaining to this law and the results from its inception up to today.

The border is wide open and we have no idea who has or is coming in...Criminals are being kicked loose by left wing DA's and judges only to offend again...Israel is on fire...Our posts in the Middle East are being repeatedly attacked...Ukraine is on fire and $billions are going there and not being tracked...China is on the March...Iran is gearing up for the final showdown...inflation is out of control...national debt is out of control...our children are being programmed...our elite universities are fomenting horrid anti-Semitic positions...anti-Semitism is rampant in the country...It looks like Biden is in big trouble electorally and legally...The United Nations sticks their thumb in our eye every day......and the left on this site want to discuss having gun laws just like Australia.  I said it before over a year (or more) ago, I don't care what Australia does and if you love it so much, move there.  

As I have said, I am not here to debate or change the minds of the radical left on this Forum.  I only hope that some on the fence will start to lean from the dark side to the right.  This may be our last chance because the left intends to tear our country down and they're doing a good job.

SECURE THE BORDER!!  ENFORCE THE LAW!!

AMERICA FIRST!!  PARENT'S RIGHTS!!

FOLLOW THE MONEY!!  It's always about money and power no matter what they say.

Hello everyone--This is my first time posting, so this is a short message to test that it goes through.  There have been a couple of comments about crime in Australia--one that it is dramatically rising and another that mass killings and death have gone down.  Here is a link to crime statistics in Australia.  The data is only through 2019.  Maybe someone can find data through 2022.

Pontification in support of assertion not backed up with facts is vacuous. Hating Rich People is a selective process. How many Hate George Soros? Why Not? Donald J. Trump, Why? Wondering about what the Class of 65 has achieved as reflected by the Statements herein is going to inevitably result in the taste of the Fruit borne from the vintage of Wine distilled, 

Certain Truths we know. If you spend too much money and there is not product from the expenditure, then you will be poor, by your own hand. Assuming the  Government has not interfered in the normal process of income generation. All of us are subject to the same restrictions leveled upon us by our accessions to Government interference. in our private lives. Rich and Poor Alike.

Was Sanctuary Cities a good policy to follow? What about Sanctuary States? What about an open Southern Border? Have all of these ideas transformed into Policies that have proven to be Beneficial to the Cities and States adopting them? No, I can say this with Certainty! If it pains some of you that I say this, the Factually Refute my Assertion. What do you say I am missing? Tell Me?

Was changing our Criminal Justice System to a no bail system a wise thing to do? It certainly has not turned out to be that way, instead of habitual criminals feeling thankful from the alleged Release from the Chain of Poverty and Imprisonment they took it as a Sign to Increase the Crimes committed, and only a few decided to abandon lives of Crime to turn over a new leaf and becomes productive citizens.

Hating Rich People  seems almost synonymous with Hating Jews. I have heard some people say that Jews are a Pariah on all the World, because they are very adept at cornering all the World's wealth in their Hands. And in very short  order. Is that why some people Riot and Demonstrate on our Leading Institutions of Higher Learning's campuses against Jews. Is that why some people Hate Rich People? 

Somewhere we as a Country that asserts the Beliefs in the Rights to the Pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Happiness, have gone Astray. If we are the Captains of  our own Ship, we had better start Trimming the Sails, Bailing Water, and throwing over needless Ballast, or we are Going to Sink.

Our Wine may be more like Vinegar.

I do see merit in the infrostructure program.  The money spent will benefit many communities...bridges, roads, buildings...it was good for FDR and it made many americans change parties (my folks included) because it brought many people jobs... making selling apples, diving stock brokers, and prohibition a reality. and make work made peoples lives much better.  Great program.  The only job creating event was the Mafia answer to prohibition. have to watch the governemnt regulated programs and that needs both houses to quite blamming each other and take care of the country.

Most of the Republicans in this forum gave up alot to serve in the military while most Democrats in this forum benefited from not serving. Take 6 years of your life and know your in your own home, your paid a workable wage your future is guaranteed and no thought of leaving your family with nothing. The theme song would be the fixing to die rag....come on all you.....young men...be the first in your family to bring your boy home in a box. That box is at Arlington and is saluted....the box is all over. I saw many a gurny with a blanket on it and a person underneat going to the storage facilities prior to being shipped home.

Bottom line we all just cant agree and if you don't agree your either a Trumper or a Bidenster.  Respect others before you think of calling them names..

The immigration system is broken so much that its not going to be corrected..its the first line of civil unrest for all groups.  The powers in the government are never going to work together..their just isn't any money in it for them. We can't provide for our citizens but people expect we will take care of people who invested a lot of money into sneaking into this country.  Those people are now part of the cartel and are being used daily..

If your allowing access to this country by the illegal current working order then every drug death is benefitied. The cartels expect loyal servents and they are here now.  Its how they paid to get here and those people had a contract with the cartels and now they are paying it back....maybe razor wire across the rivers isn't as bad as having a ready group of employees to hand the crack out.  Take a look at a young girl on meth pretty attractive well she is going to have more sisters.

As for bumper stickers; its the one thing that brings us all together.  Its just a fuel for hate.

I see so many old political people in charge maing a fast buck on all of us...time to limit their exposure on both sides.  We need Fresh thoughts and people....

Our school systems are underfunded...the buildings are falling apart..the teachers are almost told to leave by giving low pay...how can you have an ideal when you cant afford a place to live etc.

Dennis.

 

Sorry for the sentence structures but it just makes me mad when nothing is being done and nothing ever will if we contiune to embrace ourselves...me included we need to work together.

Today, the Iranian regime was appointed to be the Chair of the United Nations Human Rights Council Social Forum.  Does anyone on the left see the irony here?  Do ya??

By all means, let's discuss surrendering our guns so we can be just like Australia.  

And the USA continues to spiral.

SECURE THE BORDER!!

ENFORCE THE LAW!!

VOTE THE LEFT OUT!!

P.S.  Regarding the United Nations:  Top 10 providers of assessed contributions to the UN "peacekeeping operations" for 2020 - 2021 are:

USA - 27.89%

China - 15.21%

Japan - 8.56%

Germany - 6.09%

United Kingdom - 5.79%

France - 5.61%

Italy - 3.30%

Russian Federation - 3.04%

5 members of the UN Security Council are permanent members with VETO POWER:  China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and USA.

WHY ARE WE STILL THERE?

Katie, I respectfully disagree with the part of your post dealing with the border issue. Our Southern border is broken now more than ever in our history and has only gotten that way since Jan. 20, 2021. We "MAGA TRUMPIES" realize that Trump did more to secure the border than any other President in our lifetime. The border wall was designed to keep ner-do-wells out while allowing legal entry into our country. Now, under Biden, it's OPEN HOUSE. The border is wide open, and anyone from around the world can just walk in regardless of KJP's statement that "It's not like they are just walking in." TDS is so present in so many people that it causes blindness in their thinking. As Americans, we are free to think about what we want about our leaders. We are far apart on what we think of Trump and Biden.

SECURE THE BORDER, EMPEACH BIDEN AND MAYORKAS

GIVE US OUR COUNTRY BACK

Mary, you are most welcome here.

I hope you realize that joining us may be a lot like jumping into the lion's den in this time of political divisiveness. The further you can stay away from the politics here, the better off you may be. lol. But please jump in with anything you wish to discuss.

Welcome to the forum, Mary.  You should find life interesting here.

Re: Australian gun laws.  Research will also show you that statistics can be misleading.  There are many factors at play that could lead to a decline or rise in violence where a gun was used.  Many of those factors are social in nature.  When one concludes that Australia’s gun laws have reduced violence with guns, they are expressing an opinion, not a fact.  Read Thomas Sowell’s new book called “Social Justice Fallacies” for a great discussion of how conclusions based on selected statistics can be completely wrong headed.

Re: The war between Hamas and Israel.  Hamas rules and controls and brainwashes “Palestinian” people from childhood.  Israel is a country.  Palestine is not a country, but one can call themselves a Palestinian.  If you call yourself a Palestinian and you significantly challenge Hamas, they will silence you by any means possible.  Hamas has only one self-defined goal in life, which is to kill ALL Jews.  Period.  Protests or stated opinions that support or somehow excuse (or “understand”) Hamas, are not pro-Palestinian protests, they are genocidal protests.  Call them what they are.

Earl Harris III

Classmates,

 

It’s been roughly 48 hours since my last “ whiny” post on Halloween. Opening to the Message Forum this morning, I was greeted by some 35 or more new entries, including one from newbie Mary Powers (Evans). Welcome to the Forum, Mary!

 

Some of these posts I would have to characterize as “hair on fire!” entries, so much so that it prompted Katie to admonish everyone in #11544 “to get over yourselves.”

 

It seems that so much of what is being tossed about comes down to where we place ourselves along the ideological and political spectrum from the “ultra-right, nationalist and populist Maga/Trump movement” to “ to the ultra-left extremists at the other end who hate America and want to tear it apart”. 

 

The quotes in the previous paragraph are mine. Admittedly, they reflect my own political and ideological take. Nonetheless, I’m sticking with my views. Why? Because I simply don’t think that much, if anything, is going to be solved by continuing to pound away at the table over and over an over again with hardened (and predictable) points of view with the hope of obliterating the other side, pummeling former class members into submission with criticism meant to “win” this zero sum game.
 

Not all of you behave as described, but some of you do.

 

I have grown weary of thinking about, let alone actually entering into the partisan fray, either for the purpose of advancing my agenda or defending it time and time again. 

 

I think it’s time to put the swords away, take several steps back, and reflect on what we’re doing here on this forum. 

 

As I have said many times over the past few years, we need to strive to engage with each other with whom we disagree with less anger, less vitriol and, yes, less hate. Conversely, we need to consider, approaching others with who we vehemently disagree with more civility and kindness, including acceptance of the notion that others might actually have something of value to contribute.

 

In my opinion, we must always be on the lookout for ways to connect. In order to do so, we will need to be less subjective and more objective when it comes to pursuing agreement on basic facts and the seeking of truth.

 

Let me give you an example. 

 

At the risk of being seen as one who wishes to further “fan the flames” of disagreement, and the further erosion of trust, let us turn to the subject of illegal immigrants and notion of “open borders”.

 

These two interrelated issues have garnered a lot of attention and controversy on this Message Forum where impassioned arguments and bumper sticker slogans abound.

 

Many of my friends on the other side of the aisle have forcefully argued here that we have an “open border” policy with Mexico that affords unfettered and free access to our country damaging our economy, bringing crime and threatening the general health and safety of our citizens. Many have gone so far as to claim that President Biden and his administration bear full responsibility for what is viewed as a catastrophic mismanagement of epic proportions.

 

Personally, I do not think that we have an “open border” with Mexico. Neither do we have it at the current moment, nor have we had ‘open borders” reaching back decades into our past.

 

I’m not going to launch into a detailed argument against the notion other than to suggest that the concept of “open borders”, is more or less, a political construct being used to persuade others. Specifically, it is used quite extensively by right-wing media outlets like Fox News, OAN, or Newsmax. It is mostly absent as a descriptor our border with Mexico on left-wing media outlets, such as CNN, and MSNBC. 

 

If you don’t believe me, may I suggest that you take a gander at the other side’s nightly cable TV “news” broadcasts. Or listen to podcasts or radio talk shows. Either way, you’ll see what I’m talking about. The concept of “open borders” is rooted in bias, parading as propaganda in many cases. For more on the topic, click below on these links:

 

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/open-borders-myth-fueling-migration-crisis

 

https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/apr/26/greg-abbott-refers-bidens-open-border-policies-are/

 

https://www.thoughtco.com/open-borders-4684612

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico–United_States_border

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_border

 

The links above are not being offered as an argument for or against “open borders”. Rather, my decision to include these is simply to expose the nature and complexities of various forms of border policy, their pros and cons, successes and failures. And, this is but a cursory sampling of articles you can find. There are scores of others.

 

Further, they are offered as a possible starting point to gain better understand of the various kinds and levels of border security and the challenges we now face and have faced in the past in attempts to devise a workable and comprehensive U.S. border/immigration policy. So far, the three branches of government have only met with limited success that suggest there much hard work ahead, with compromises that will need to be made among a vast array of stakeholders.

 

If you read these articles and you would like to offer your reaction(s) or opinion to them, I would encourage you to do so. I only suggest that you be as thoughtful and as objective as you can in offering your take. Attempt to be constructive in your analysis of what you think of their analyses and conclusions. Suggest an alternative point of view, but hopefully one devoid of  sloganeering. Provide support or offer alternative views of your own that would serve to advance a meaningful discussion among classmates.

 

Rather than succumbing to a desire to enter into heretofore repeated and failed keyboard combat wrestling matches, perhaps we can begin to explore and debate some of what is in these articles, instead.

 

Study and discussion of issues doesn’t always need to be personal. We might just benefit from getting to the bottom of what offends or excites us without immediately caving to the desire to launch verbal attacks against our fellow classmates. Maybe if we first began by investigating what others outside our group have presented, it just might serve to lower the heat a bit. 

 

Just a thought.

Warning!!!      If you have a weak stomach you might not want to read this.  If you do I would read it tomorrow morning so you have the day to get over what you are about to read.  Late last night/early morning I wasn't sleeping well so I made the mistake of turning on the news.  They were interviewing a Young Mother who was in a hospital bed.  On October 7th, 5 Hamas roaches broke into her house, killed her Husband and the proceeded to rape he.  While she was being raped one of the roaches grabbed her alive baby, put the baby in the oven and turned the oven on.  I completely understand Israel's outrage and their retaliation!!  The next thing I want to say is that I am not implying a nuclear strike when I say this.  Israel is having to kill some civilians in the war.  Before we chastise them to much for that, remember that we wiped out Hiroshima and Nagasaki plus we killed hundred's when we burned Dresdin.  The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved hundreds, if not thousands of American Lives.  War IS Truly Hell!!

Stand by for a ram, Frank.  I related the same horrific account you mentioned in my #11433.  Katie came after me fang and claw....because she "can't handle the truth," I guess.

Re:  Hamas/Hezbollah/Syria/Iran leaders and military....I continue to say:  "Kill them all and let Allah sort it out."  And, BTW, no time-outs in war.  It's the only way to win and stay alive.

Welcome Mary, enjoy I hope!

Good reasoned posts this morning. "Hair on fire"? I don't agree! Some do a good job of trivializing this government caused issues. However, as some of us conservatives have. I would like to point out every Border Patrol  agent I heard interviewed stated that under Trump the border was never so secure and walls worked. What have the democrats proposed for fixing the border? If they did put a proposal forward the media would be all over it, pasp it! Nop, that will not happen because the policies of the border today are exactly what they (democrats) want and planned. All the other issues can be addressed like wise. The 60's lives loud on this site.

Outrage against a group; either biden or maga/trump seems to miss that not all people who voted for Trump or Obama or Biden are Just Republicans, or Democrats. President Biden is a old style politician or in my view the same old thing you know were just plain folks, oh lets kiss the baby (remember that from senior year government class)  I for one wanted something new like a Jimmy Carter (who I liked alot), not the Bush group-they were of the Biden same old thing group. I liked Obama he was new and but didn't feel he was for all the people.  And now Trump he really was new he said and did many things that I liked especially having businesses that weren't paying taxes here because they were multinational.  He made them pay and after paying nothing for years the US now had money comming in from them. He released many black americans from prison unlike any president before.  they all talked a good game but only Trump did anything..yes he did things for Business.  He reduced many of the regulations that were slowing things down and more expensive.  Fuel was available at lower prices we hadn't seen before.  Please, vote for what you want...I have seen Biden doing good things.  like the contruction and rehabing of roads and bridges.  I don't like that the Education dept withholds funds from schools because they don't follow political scemes or dreams.  I am more than willing to call a person by whatever pronoun they want.

Military, why I get so heated and I am very protective of the Marines and Army grunts.  I was in the Air Force and it was as close to being a civilian as possibe.  But the ground pounders had more than just getting killed they (read about the Apache a Vietcong) suffered with acts that that pushed the limits and in turn they would take it out on the North Vietnam and Vietcong.  After they were out in the jungle with 100 % humidity and temp in the 90's and marched through areas that contained snakes and bugs that could kill them they could come across, see or hear someone who had been mutilated.. thats why we had the My Lai and how many more that war became revenge first because if you lived you were beyond lucky.  So many got sick while their and they were lucky to survive. One good thing is now we have the air ambulances that save many lives.  I cry when i see the sentries guarding the unknowns and the salutes that are rendered...I think of every name on the wall of which some are our classmates or alumni.

Please don't call they men and women stupid for being one party or another..many voted for what they believe in..its so easy to tear down and very hard to build up.

The issues are my main reason for voting...i hope to say thats always been why and who I voted for. The immigration problems is something thats been pushed down the road for someone else to solve.  Education is so underfunded but it many not be its an agency that doesn't invest in education .  Foreign aid benefits business here and we pay for it.  we give money to people that hate us and then we ask them if they want more..The ;United Nations needs to support itself...I forgot how much we spend to keep it going.  then when something major happens all we need is one veto and nothing gets done.  Send all those diplomats home no other nation is a stupid as ours to have it..We need to take care of people...we should take care of our people especially if we can spend billions and trillions of dollars for other countries to deal with wars.  My view of America first is we have tons of needs here and we do nothing.

People come to the United States for protection not to be a citizen here. When my wife became a citizen it was uneventful for her high school.  Its a big deal... how many of us could even pass a test probably none. it would be just like a black in the south trying to vote.

ISSUES NOT NAMES. 

Thanks I feel better now that I got that off my chest.  Maybe I don't have to say anything other than I finally got back to building my model.

Dennis.

THOUGH SOME SAY THINGS HAVE CHANGED TRUTHFULLY THEY ARE THE SAME;   I recently witnessed first hand what some consider Change that is bound to take place, but which we all know if wa are honest with ourselves, is not Change, its just the same old folderol in a different Soggy Stinking Bag.

The Judge asked the Counsel for the petitioning party what was going on in the case. The case was a Probate case, a man died and left some property to some siblings, one of whom had quickly filed a Petition to be Appointed the Administrator of  the Estate. The property was sold, and generated quite a healthy sum of money which even after the Estate Bills were paid, amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. That was in 2020 when the case was filed, and the Remainder was determined in 2021. Then every thing went 'South" because the Nasty element of Greed jumped in the middle of the case. Now it's Nov. 2023 over 2 years later, and the money is gone.

The attorney who represents the suspected absentee Administrator now claims his client disappeared in May 2023, however he did not mention this to the Court until October of this year, and now he purports to be filing a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record. He mentioned to the Court that apparently his ciient did not deposit to proceeds from the same of probate Estate assets in a Blocked acount in California, rather, quite to his alleged surprise, the 220 thousand dollars that came from the probate Estate, sonehow disappeared, and only 186 thousand plus dollars wound up being located in an account in Florida.

The Judge looked at me and smiling said to the defalcating clients attorney on the phone "Isn't it true Counsel that the disappearance of 186 thousand plus dollars of probate moneys is Still a Felony even in California?"  The Courtroom became Very Quiet. The Judge requested to me that I notify another attorney who was missing from the Courtroom that our next Court appearance was on a certain date, and that he was expected to be there, In Person.

I write this because I detect a tendency in our little Forum, of a form of soft peddling the Truth because certain people's feelings (an assumption which may not be grounded in much more than imagination) may be "Hurt" and this is played like a Violin that was played during the Second World War, Not of any Edifying Quality, just for whatever sake it was done. I am for one, absolutely Sick of assertions made with no justifiable Facts backing them up. Worthless discourse used to cover the real Truth.

THE BORDER NORTH AND SOUTH IS NOT SECURE, THE LAST TIME IT WAS CLOSE TO BEING SO, DONALD J. TRUMP WAS THE PRESIDENT. THAT IS THE TRUTH. REMEMBER THE WOMAN THAT MANY WERE PROFESSEDLY DISGUSTED WITH, THE ONE TIME GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, SHE SAID IT VERY DEFINITIVELY  "YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG, BUT IT IS STILL JUST A PIG"  BIDEN IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING A GOOD PRESIDENT, IN FACT, IT MAY PROVE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THAT HE HAS BEEN BRIBED BY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE PARTY TO GIVE THEM OUR SECRETS AND GRANT THEM POLITICAL FAVORS. DRUGS ARE COMING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, AND WE MUST STOP THIS, OR WE MAY SUFFER SOME VERY REAL, AND INSTANT CRISES WITH OUR WATER SUPPLY BEING CONTAMINATED WITH FENTANOL. PEARLS BEFORE SWINE, IT DEPENDS, WHAT COLOR LIPSTICK ARE YOU WEARING IF YOU DO INDEED WEAR ANY AT ALL?
