(43,256 posts)Did you ever call that one right. The second he said it, English teacher me had her back up like a cat.
It's an oxymoron of connotation. One doesn't call tortured individuals "folks." "Folks," if one uses the term at all (I personally hate it and never use it), should be used for the nice neighbors down the block, people at church suppers, that type of thing.

Well, anyway, I was going to post on this thread anyway to say that for me, it's the criminal regime (the U.S. gov't). What the hell is the matter with a government that can't even have a basic, decent human being in an office of power? I'm so sick of the way we ruin lives around the world.
That's why I support Bernie. Bernie is one of the few individuals with a sense of morality to stay in the political system we have. You can count the others using two hands.
This bothers me. I think about it every day. It would be such a relief if we could stop the endless wars and conduct this nation in a way that respects others and their right to carry on their lives in peace.
