A random opinion
I have to admit, folks, that I am entirely simpatico with the things that motivate the “Occupy” folks. I loathe the corporatization of America, the concentration of wealth at the very top of society, the notion that this concentration is … Continue reading
Who are we?
Political comment below the fold…. This, I am afraid, is what our country now is. We don’t welcome the world’s oppressed who are seeking freedom; no, we’re all about shutting the borders and denying freedom to those already here. We’re … Continue reading
