May 2012

His family are mormon and I didn't realize that he was such a sorry ass person as they presented him to be at his funeral. He was like me at the time a pot smoker and I suspect that is why so much hate on him. Actually George was a good dude in anyones book except his mormon family. All of his friend like me were blown away by what was said about him at his funeral.
When the mormons come to my door I kindly ask them to leave and when they hem and haw I simply say remove yourselves from my property. I'll have nothing to do with anything you say so be gone.
I'm an old man who can think for myself and was raised in the baptist church ways who at about the young age of 14 decided I no longer can believe any of that so that may cloud my thoughts today somewhat. I'm non-religious is how I consider myself.
