Most of it means no more to me than if I was reading a history of the last days of Babylon. The death throes of a civilization that at best has shown me low level contempt for no reason except that I was born White and Male. AT worst has openly admitted it hates me for the same reasons. Not a world I really care about enough to get upset over any bad news.<br /><br />Not that I take glee from news of others misery but I will not deny I feel some of them deserve it.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-32243058157635243192015-01-11T13:03:28.706-09:002015-01-11T13:03:28.706-09:00Tewshooz, I'm glad it helped.

Whether or not the crack up happens and some boogieman takes over will not be affected if I listen to all the rotten news and politics. Might as well keep it tuned out.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.com
