Texan Targets

Send the kids to school to be shot
Or church to become a sex pot
With COVID-19
Becoming a teen
May be the slimmest chance they've got!  

n.b.   Texans believe life is only sacred
until the breath of life is inhaled
after which everyone is fair game!

L Milton Hankins Date: 5/26/2022 10:59:00 AM Sadly, there's a lot of truth to what you say, Rico. But, it's not just Texas, my friend. It's pervasive here in the U.S. Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 5/27/2022 10:26:00 AM Texas has always taken the lead in "Us against Them" hate mongering. Aloha!
