Amazing OP, Dennis.

Thank you for posting this.

I worked with Gerry Casale years ago. He produced a music project my kid was in.

Kent State. That was the day things got brutally real for those of us just coming of age. A major turning point in that era. Just shattering.

Those aren't mere "armed protestors." They're fucking DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!

Every bit as lethal and menacing as anybody al Qaeda ever issued, if not moreso. A LOT moreso.

Deaths. It looks like the U.S. has roughly 25% of the WORLD death totals, all by our little selves. One out of every four of the WORLD'S victims of COVID-19 is an American. That's GLOBALLY.



We're Number One, alright.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
