re: #318 realwest

Very well said Sharm - very well indeed. I’ve lived in a country where a man could be talking to a small group of friends - 5 or 6 and the next night, in the middle of the night, he would be dragged off into a military truck never to be seen or heard from again. I’ve seen that happen, twice.
I thank God for the brave Troops we have now and remember those who made the “ultimate sacfice” so that we - any one here, could run out into the street and shout at the top of their lungs ” I hate Pelosi” (or the political leader of your choice) and NOTHING will happen to them. People do take their personal freedoms waaay to much for granted.

leaving out, of course, what would happen at many homes here, should they show up to drag us off in a military truck…… you have a point: we are lucky here in the US, but then again, we make our own luck.

i will not go quietly.
