blog has died of pancreatic cancer as a result of those atomic bomb tests from the Nevada Test Site in the 50s to the 70s.

God Damn the fuckin' US Gov't to Hell!!!!

7. Those bastards knew exactly what they were doing!!! It was heart breakling when I read her account

Terrible decisions were made then....

:hug:
