Have We Gone Too Far

"Can we still order black coffee??? Are brownies taken off the shelf?" "Is White Castle changing its name?" "I'm sure Cracker Barrel is screwed!" "Can we still play Chinese Checkers?" "No more Italian Sausages." "I ask you, how far do we go with this foolishness?" Quote from David Schick

As long as people overthink something that's been around for decades or longer, is it sad or purely pathetic, for people have nothing better to do, than just live and enjoy living. Nice write Michael, such a shame that it'll go over peoples heads . . . James..

This brings to mind, 'Strange New World," but we're not being faced with a sci-fi thriller. The world as we've known it is in jeopardy on many levels. Good points, Michael.

....and the list goes on and on, Michael. As usual, ideals and well-meaning ideas lose their original flavour when extremism takes over. ~ Regards// paul

I read this the other day, it does make someone think. But, then tearing down history is another.

So true Eve it has gotten to the point of ridiculous. They are all behind this agenda. Soon they will take the bible away because they will say it is hate speech.

We live in a mad world and it is getting madder, my dearest friend, Michael. Humanity is in confusion and does strange things thus we have to be patient for not to lose our minds. Blessings!

Yes Demetrios. You are right on. It certainly is a mad world run by mad men. Our Savior will rectify this madness. I pray for his return. Thak you for your valued comments my friend...

Gone are movies and my loved matinees. Gone are big dances and lovely buffets. Gone is life as I recall it best... our blessed happy days.

They have almost destroyed everything. They will have a rude awakening Andrea when the king of Kings returns. Dont you worry my dear. Luv Michael

The media is showing so much police violence repeatedly over and over creating an anger among the masses. Which will result in violent protest fueling this chaotic agenda they are trying to create to bring in Martial law and their ultimate goal the military. Thanks for the visit Tom...
