"This reality should be like WE think it should be...or you should do 2 things punishment, Die"
I've tried to talk to a few Right-wingers like "Why does it bother you about sex and who or the Male or Female?"

that we ALL may be needing to carry with us at all times, a CERTIFIED COPY of our Birth Certificate, and some form of Federal Government Picture I.D.
