This is such a touchy subject. I lost a good friend over my opinion of Bibi. Hamlette Oct 2023 #34

I will never be silenced on subjects I have strong feelings about. That would be against my very nature Celerity Oct 2023 #40

I'm the same way. I will never be silenced if speaking up might make a difference. Hamlette Oct 2023 #50

Why? Maybe... Nanjeanne Oct 2023 #48
