A NATION DROWNING IN IT’S OWN SWILL
Has it occurred to anyone that our causes are turning into mean and hateful religions? What used to be 'causes' were subject to negotiation and compromise. Today it is my way or the highway. No room for compromise because the sect sees only with one eye straight ahead.

That GPS definitely needed a brain check!
