In a just world she would be referred to as "prisoner #1234," but I am not holding my breath.<br /><br />And, do I get additional bonus points for identifying grammar faux pas: "whomever" vice "whoever."<br /><br />P.S.

The first being, of course; the product of decades long governmental indoctrination in public schools, supported by 'further education' in the socialist collegiate quagmire. Or, for the less monied, it is to work right out of high school; tired minds worked 40 plus hours a week to live until the next paycheck, mental exhaustion succumbing to the other mode of indoctrination - television, and of course the pipeline of mindless garbage that most find on the internet... Sports, reality t.v., porn, ad nauseum... all set to take the agility from a mind, body, and spirit; and dumb them down to avoid thought at every turn... "I'll do the thinnin' around here..." I read years ago, that Satan has not changed his tactics ever - because they still work. And so, his minions here on earth... the modes of sin change, but the sin remains... "what once were vices now are habits". It is a battle for men's souls, and as I believe Martin Luther said, "we who believe stand at the threshold of the abyss, pulling souls from the fire..." The battle for the hearts and minds of men continues, but take heart, God is not mocked. And vengeance is His.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-13444244291494791342015-04-24T13:23:38.420-04:002015-04-24T13:23:38.420-04:00I think decades of corruption, of steadily intensi...I think decades of corruption, of steadily intensifying secrecy within the halls of power, and of ever-rising levels of deceit have numbed the electorate almost to the point of apathy. Today, the average American who still thinks his vote matters looks at the candidates and says "Yes, the're both liars and thieves, so which one will steal <i>for</i> me rather than <i>from</i> me?"<br /><br />Not a pleasant thing to contemplate -- but it does provide a neat explanation for why the two major parties are so quick to dismiss any minor-party competition. Any competition from honest men -- and just one is all it would take -- would reveal the liars and thieves as what they are, indisputably.Francis W.
