Please stop the political stuff. Not everyone on the list is left and not all left is socialist. 
Thanks,

"What a power is love! It is the most wonderful, the greatest of all living powers. Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold.Love brings hope to the hopeless and gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful. In the world of existence there is indeed no greater power than the power of love."

It's not the black lives matter movement that I am against, not in the least.  What I am against are the real people now behind the movement, not like when it was first started, and their agenda isn't about black lives mattering, as it should be.  I believe it is the Socialists that are really now running what's behind that, I can show documentation, as I listen to news other than the mainstream who will not broadcast other than their party line.  

Anyone interested in links and such, you are welcome to write me off-list.   But the narrative that's out there isn't really what's going on.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
