For those who are too cowardly to learn the art of the firearm, to those who cower at the thought of defense of Liberty and freedom, to those who think more of greed and personal pleasure than to right and justice I leave you with the words of Samuel Adams:

After a traumatic experience, it's normal to feel frightened, sad, anxious, and disconnected. Usually, as time passes, the upset fades and you start to enjoy life again. But sometimes the trauma you experienced is so overwhelming that you find that you can't move on.
Please
Allow me to say thank you for your acceptance.

Re: Callie's avatar liking mine:
Thanks for stopping by…..glad your avatar likes mine. That GSD in the picture is a female…. The females of the dog species – I've noticed over time – are much more vocal and easier for me to decide "how they feel" as they verbalize in a much wider variety of ways than do the males, thus giving this poor schmuck of a human being a better chance of actually figuring out what's on her mind. It's good practice for real-life human-human interaction, I think….
No worry about past experiences in the dog world, if it's not about having fun or eating…they can't figure out what we humans would be interested in it…which is probably something for all us humans to ponder..
Thanks for stopping by….our avatars can take "time off" and have some cyber doggy play while we're offline and doing our real human lives….
My pole-dancing puppy Avatar wants to know if your Avatar is available for a relationship - quite a handsome fellow, he is! If he's picky about his girlfriends, please assure him my Avatar was young, foolish and needed the money when she embarked on her iffy, albeit brief, pole-dancing career.

I feel privileged to have been able to read your articles and participate in the wonderful conversations! I also love that you are such a moderate person that just allows us all to be who we are.

Thank you so much for the comment on my page. I am sorry to have "met" you just as I got fed up and stripped my account here bare. I thought I was writing on some sort of reputable site but in light of the fact this place is now InsaneDramaVine I am moving my efforts elsewhere. Take care and good luck surviving this place :-}
What a beautiful and unexpected treat to find your comment on my home page. Thank you so much! The admiration is quite mutual, I assure you. Callie

Last week two of my close friends shared with me a bit of news I had never known. That they were primarily drawn to me because of my race. What? I was offended and because I rarely bite my tongue these days, I let them know. They seemed genuinely confused by my anger.
