JUDGEMENT FREE ZONES

Blog Posted:1/14/2023 6:04:00 AM

Judgement free zones

 

 

Now let me get this straight

(as in clear, logical, and unemotional)

I cannot accuse anyone of lying

or question their truth.

But they can accuse me

of spreading “misinformation”

because they

don’t agree

with me.

 

Does their “judgement free zone”

have only one chair in it?

reminiscent of the media hit (classified documents) yesterday - the contrast between Biden's comments: "totally irresponsible re: Mar-a-Lago and "full cooperation" re: Wilmington, Delaware garage.

John, your poem gave me a smile, you got it exactly right, it is all quite one-sided, like you can do it but I cannot, when you do its okay, when I do its not okay, Constance
