We Forgot







Remember, those days we went to school and learned so well, 
the Golden Rule?

Now, that, it is no longer taught, we wonder, why America is 
overrun by fools!

Respect seems to have fallen by the wayside, we have our share of fools here too. We were banned during lockdown from seeing family and friends, seems it didn't apply to our government who partied like there was no tomorrow. Tom

Thank you, Tom for posting this! Guess all nations have their fair share of the "Ship of Fools" Same nonsense here. The answer? What are we? I have no patience with being led by the nose, meaning, following liars, as you aptly indicate, "party animals." what are we? Low Life Serfs? Animals running governments? Yes, indeed!I do as I please. PS. Thanks to the Brits for sending baby formula here. Gratefully, Panagiota PS. Eddie is here today.)) in my glory))

Can't beat this one for the stark truth, couched in the 'gentle' clothes of poetry. Write on, Pangie! ~ Gershon

You said it eloquently. I wasn’t being that gentle!)) Ignorance can have disastrous results. Nana Panagiota

For sure; taking prayer out of public schools was the beginning of American's downfall; then came the notion that there are no absolutes, everyone having his or own truth (a stake in the heart of law-and-order)...abortion was the greatest negative. For awhile I was in the camp of, if a child was developing deformed, then abortion is an acceptable remedy. I am back to, it is never ok!

There is no respect for law and order. Stealing is now a hobby in the People’s Republic of California. Preschoolers learn about pregnant men? Must be doing a lot of hash-hish here. God is a joke midst the smoke. Stand in front of God. Say, I killed my baby because?? I can only hope and pray for sanity. Not wanted! We give God the bird? American flag replaced by TG flag. OK to express yourself but honestly don’t know when Amendment one will be repealed? Pangie
