A Propos - the United States of America

We are customary people. A democracy that is unequal. Structured through immigration Native to the form We embrace diversity. We are humanitarians born. The thread of our beings unites us. Grandparents Mother Father Sisters Brothers Uncles Aunts Nieces Nephews Cousins Husband Wife and Child Friends within a world of nationalities We are the United States of America. One big family Rooted to our past, we are strength unbound. Open-minded to our constituents, we are amalgamated for a common cause. We are so defined that integration has confound. Two-hundred and thirty-eight years we perplex. Who annihilates us does not exist. We are the United States of America. Bold and beautiful Dogma Guiding principles documented Strategy militantly A plan Platform Vigor Dynamism captured! APROPOS ___________________________________/ Date Written: March 16, 2014

Rick, that because of the lack of support from the father and/or the mother to their child or children. I would say that what you mean in ..."highly dis functional." Thanks for your supportive comment? Verlena :0))s
