Hey! Clever rhyme. You have a sophisticated way of simplifying serious stuff so all may benefit from your wise viewpoint.

You have a way of writing a comment to make the recipient feel like he's walking on water for a while. Thank you so much, Sigrid! ~ On Cloud Nine

The veil has been removed...exposed, I pray for the healing of a nation...a great nation...

You are right, so disruptive and many wishes this will stop! I hope you are well. Take care Gershon :)

Yes... except things just keep getting worse. Look at what's happening in the 'nothing town' of Kenosha, WI. (I know Kenosha well. My father was born there). Thanks, Heidi. Here's to health and long life. :) gw

So true... so sad... And now, Kenosha. People just jumping to conclusions without the facts at hand. Rant and rave, rant and rave. Guilty without a trial. Is this America? Sounds like the Old West -- but those 'states' were just territories back then. Oh, well. ~ 'Safe in Chicago' (lol)

Hey, Hey....go easy with those "Lawless" references...

Couldn't find any other word that worked as well. "Johnless" just didn't cut it for me... ~ gw

Everything seems to be turned upside down since February. Disease, weather, killings....I can't even continue listing the horrendous conditions in today's world.

That's the right term alright, Jenna: upside-down! Thanks for your observation. ~ Topsy and Turvy, :) gw

Sad and scary times we live in. Prayer is our only hope. One of the reasons I prefer country life to living in a big city. God Bless my friend. JB

Pretty soon, we won't even be able to enter the city without a passport from 'The Republic of Wokeness.' Far-fetched? Who knows? :) gw

Is there no end to this madness Gershon, I feel sorry for the poor innocent folk caught up in it. Tom

John's nailed it, Tom. We are ALL guilty of 'white privilege,' those of us who haven't gotten a 'race-change-operation,' anyway. lol. ~ Gershon

according to the "peaceful demonstrators" no one is "innocent"

You can smile over there in Scandinavia for now, Anne-Lise. Just hope that Biden loses; otherwise we're going to be exporting our 'virtues' -- BLM squads and waves of 'woke-sters' will be roving the world. Chaos at your front door. Am I kidding?! I'm not really sure at this point. Anything's possible... :) gw

Ha, ha, ha! You just think it's safe. If Biden wins the election and the Democrats take the U.S. Senate, 'woke' white liberals and BLM will be coming to a neighborhood near you! (Even Greenland's not safe). Watch your 'white privilege' there! lol. It's happening here all over. At least you'll be spared the 'Reparations Revolution!' :) gw
