126. It is not my way or the highway

Tue Jul 21, 2015, 02:06 AM

Jul 2015

1) Funny--odd occurance
2) Not knee slapper just double take
3) there are quite a few local authorities, Mayor O'Malley more than twice that I saw and I didn't notice the state. However, the link will take you there and you can be sure of the information you are receiving.
4) I think we have beaten this horse. I feel sure that you are standing by your point of view. I feel that I have listened to your point of view, I have conceded in another post in this OP that they should protest Obama, Lynch and other people in policy making potitions.
5) What we still don't agree on is that I feel protesting the police, the candidates, the flag, the monuments are also good places to protest.

I think I have allowed you to speak and I have read each word that you have written. Some questions you have for me are not in my scope of knowing. I feel in some way, that your posts are deflection away from what I originally asked. I understand that these threads are dynamic and flow into different points. I have no real urge to go there.

I think you disagree with that. So we are not going to agree. Doesn't make me better, doesn't mean my way or the highway, it just means I won't travel down that highway with you. I am not stopping you or saying you are wrong for you. I just don't want to go there.
