Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 17, 2012 Members Posted June 17, 2012 love it!! Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Dottie Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Scary! My boy goes to a special class in government school because no one else will have him and he won't let me teach him. You've written my future... Quote
Members phkrause Posted June 19, 2012 Members Posted June 19, 2012 Interesting, but growing up in NYC in 1962, all your 2012 scenario's we had than. So unfortunately these are old news for those of us who grew up there. Sure I agree things are a lot worse now, just by the shire amount of things compared to '62. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

There are no golden ages. Exactly As proof positive, after the nazi holocaust is discovered at the end of WWII and the concentration camps were cleaned up, the new landlords that took over the camps committed genocide to the tune of somewhere between 15,000,000 to 40,000,000 of their own inhabitants.
