148. What if its the truth???????

Wed Jul 11, 2012, 03:36 PM

Jul 2012

what if to see you raped and murdered is the truth. When they say women shouldn't have the ability to abort the baby of rape or incest, what does it mean. It means that they approve of rape and grandaddy dearest making whoopee with his 10 year old grandaughter.
When you see the rise in hate groups and a two week back order on bullets what do you think that means. It means there are those gearing up to kill. And what about working people here and abroad for extended hours and less pay. Gambling their 401ks, and Pension funds in selling debt. And according to my public school teacher, Debt is something that is owed and has no value, because it is a negative. and after all this, there is a Dead Peasant Policy on you, for what amount, (you will never know) to collect on after you are dead. Oh yea, your family is not entitled to none of this ownership money. Seems like I have seen this in another form. What do you liken this to??? Yes those who speak for the one percent know exactly what they are doing. But if you have enough money they would sell their Mother. The one percent only wants to OWN your mother. Show some civility. Take the high road. Turn the other cheek. Kill your enemies with kindness. They just don't know any better. You may have taken the high road,but i will not ignore the collateral damage of those left in the ditch dead and dying.
