My impression was that the guys needed to find honest new friends and leave the crooked old ones behind. But that's a whole lot easier said than done.

Nice, and I think you did it on purpose but if not, do note there is a key for the "period" mark. It is used to make sentences shorter. But I think the way to you did it actually kinda makes the point better. Not sure why. Still laughing anyway.

As a white business owner from Georgia? How would she know about any of that?

You said "clams" - ROTFL.

Ahemm.

The NOI high control organisation has, for some years, been overlapping with the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology(1). And the Co$ is full of clams(2).

Hence my merriment. Carry on.

Y'know, this hellbeast would have been laughed out of Congress not so long ago. Yes, I know she brings in money from the morons, but REALLY? What happened, America?

The number of times I've had to click on those (which I do even if they are fine) is easily reaching a million over the years. And while I have AdBlock Plus, sometimes they somehow sneak through.

Not related other than being DC.When I was there a couple of weeks ago, I came upon an older man who at first appeaed to be selling the The Wall Street Journal on a street corner, but as I got closer I realised that it was just on the outside of about fifteen different papers he had bought for himself.

Should have used a rusty, pus infested harpoon and some no salve.

Her death was very, very sad.Also this article was a bit sad it that is seems that some only think of her because of "Fairytale..." when she had a great solo career with lots of great songs.Also, while they mentioned her mum, they didn't bother to mention her late father, the famous Scottish folksinger, Ewan MacColl, who wrote many great songs, but is mostly known for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" later covered by Roberts Flack.By all rights people should be writing stories about Kirsty every month.

One of her political songs that is actually more relevant today than ever...

Lyrics

I thought of you when they closed down the schoolAnd the hospital tooDid they think that you were better?They were wrongYou had so many friendsThey all left you in the end‘Cause they couldn’t take the patter

And I’ll see you baby when the clans rise againWomen and men united by a struggleGoing downYou’ve got to walk into the waterWith your sister and your daughterIn this free world

If I wore your shades could I share your point of view?Could I make you feel better?Paint a picture, write a letter?Well I know what you’re sayingBut I see the things you doAnd it’s much too dangerousTo get closer to youBut I will see you baby when the clans rise againWomen and men united by the struggleGoing downWith a pocketful of plasticLike a dollar on elasticIn this free world

I wouldn’t tell you if I didn’t careI’ll see you baby when the clans rise againWomen and men united by the struggleAnd the ghettoes are full of Mercedes BenzAnd you’d never hurt a friendWho wouldn’t tell you

It’s cold and it’s going to get colderYou may not get much olderYou’re much too scared of livingAnd to die is a reliable exitSo you push it and you test itWith Thunderbird and Rivin*

I’ll see you baby when the clans rise againWomen and men united by the struggleIn this free world babyGot to take it got to grab itGot to get it up and shag itIn this free worldGoing down

You’ve got to get into the waterLike a lamb goes to the slaughterIn this free world babyGoing downWith a pocketful of plasticLike a dollar on elasticIn this free worldI wouldn’t tell you if I didn’t care

LOL, indictment is perfect

The great dumbing down happened. It has been systematically accomplished by gutting humanities education in favor of things easier to test like STEM education, often under the notion that better paying jobs are available with those skills. The mercenary nature of America's national identity encouraged it. Entertainment was dumbed down as well in response to a series of writers' strikes. The dumbing down of media, the shift from news to news entertainment, and the rise of social media has reprogrammed even those generations that were raised prior to teaching to the test. We are well and truly fucked, because I can't foresee a time when we will ever have a national consensus on what is reality.
