However, out of the many tags he has been given, it is likely he would probably prefer the term ‘anarchist’.

But this does not explain why even the very mention of his name is revered by some and despised by others.

Surely making a stand against US imperialism, being a bit of a lefty and criticizing US Foreign Policy are no longer noteworthy achievements, and by today’s standards, by no means unique.

So what separates Noam Chomsky from the rest?

On the outside he certainly fits all the stereotypes of a well-educated and learned professor, but beyond the cursory corduroy jacket, scruffy worn out shirts and understated glasses, what really lurks behind those watery yet penetrating eyes?

He may look and act like a softly spoken (some might say dull) and cuddly uncle, but make no mistake: with Chomsky, still waters really do run deep.

Avram Noam Chomsky was born in 1928 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By all accounts he was brought up a Jew by immigrant parents who hailed from Belarus and the Ukraine. Chomsky later went on to study philosophy, mathematics, and linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his PhD in linguistics.

Since then he has taught linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is now Professor Emeritus.

Chomsky’s greatest academic achievement has without a doubt been his contribution to linguistics. Chomsky broke new ground with his idea that children have an innate ability to learn a language and master grammar. His findings have had a profound impact on both linguistics and cognitive science.

But some might say that he really came into his own when he openly criticized US foreign policy during the Vietnam War with his book ‘American Power and the New Mandarins’ (1969). Since then, he has been pretty much unstoppable in his condemnation of American imperialism and foreign policy.

But Chomsky is different from other rebels, not because he has long been the person who says things that others don’t want to hear, but that he continues to do so.

He is what some might call the King of Unpalatable Truths. It would be foolish to think that those who are not American, or don’t agree with US policy, are immune to his criticism.

Anyone can get caught up in the Chomsky splatter gun effect; after all Chomsky likes to identify with those who he deems are struggling, whatever their ideology. A fervent advocate of freedom of speech, which has found him in some hot water with Holocaust deniers, he is not one to shy away from speaking out.

Chomsky appears to have a unique ability to remember what most of us don’t like to. He is a historian with a remarkable memory and fact-finding brain, and when it comes to US foreign policy he has a knack of intervening on US intervention.

One cannot fail to see the dichotomy.

But make no mistake; this guy was born ratty, with what would seem a penchant for getting riled about all things American and ‘corporate’.

Apart from the labels of anarchist and activist, perhaps one should be applying the other ‘A’ word: agitator.

Chomsky has certainly earned his detractors along the way. Accused of being a bit ‘dodgy’ with his sources, as well as being a devout anti-American, a Holocaust denier and an anti-Semite, he is not without his opponents.

The question is; is Chomsky the tortured, intellectual, loner genius, a peacemaker of the world, or a curmudgeonly old skeptic, a cunning linguist with axes to grind? Or is he a silver-haired cadaver, who deserves the sobriquet of ‘Nim Chimpsky’ after the chimp that was named after him?

Whatever your opinion, one has to recognize that it takes courage to remain a square peg in a round hole, even if it is a self-made one, and to be constantly labeled as a misfit.

Maybe Noam Chomsky is not a misfit, but the right fit.

While some of his opinions may seem extreme and anti-American to some, if philosophy is all about using rational inquiry to understand how the world works, then Chomsky is just applying his own dictum and trying to make sense of the mad world in which he finds himself.

crime and doing time

angry men and so much sin

on whom can one depend

shooting and stabbing, snatching and grabbing

another election, presidential rejection

the shedding of tears, the suppressing of fears

children lost and how everything costs

Even when the robin sings, I worry about the state of things

the plight of men, of human beings

of shattered lives and broken dreams

What is left but the will to hope

a path is laid so that one may cope

and yet I worry about the state of things

or if angels can fly without spreading their wings

or if man will even exist when freedom rings

In Islam, Muslims believe from the words in the Qur’an that two angels come to ‘pull the ruh’ – extract the soul. If the deceased has led a good life his soul will leave the body easily. If he has led a sinful life, extracting his soul will be like pulling teeth. The two angels have names and come together to get the soul. After this the body rots; the soul lives on. But what happens to the soul? At the moment of death the soul goes into barzakh – meaning that the soul is in a holding pattern with other souls who are eager to meet with family members. You have probably heard people who have lost a loved one say that they saw, just before the person died, that he seemed to be in another dimension and stretched out his arms to something only he could see, and exclaim that so and so is in the room.

I lost a family member a few days ago. My sister was in the room and said that immediately after her mother died she saw her mother in the room and was frightened. Another instance is where two high school grads, cousins and best friends were so close that they both died instantly in a Mercedes when they raced down the street, were buried together and that one of them, close to death, said that he wanted to go fishing as his cousin was there. I can relate several similar stories. My question is: is this real, a visitation, or a trick of the brain? I have heard that the brain is the last thing to go when someone dies. Is that so? It would explain the white bright light people who have had a near death experience come back from the dead and relate. I would like to hear a Jewish, Christian or even another Muslim answer to this.

if you have other opinions of symbolic meanings that I the artist wasn’t able to even pick up, please share, more than interested in all of your opinions! 

Christmas 1990 was a bit more special than other years. That year I went absolutely crazy with holiday decorating.  We had just gotten rid of the garish wallpaper that my husband’s ex wife was responsible for. I was ecstatic.  This event was cause for celebration on any day of the year, so the holiday season turned out twice as happy. Before that, viewing a pretty Christmas tree in that room was nigh impossible because it was in competition with the walls.

The wallpaper shouted out a verdant background of enormous ferns that looked like they could come alive and eat you.  

We replaced the ugly stuff with tastefully a quieter wall covering embossed with a subtle grain pattern and vertical lines.  It was white with a slight pearlescent glow – a perfect compliment for my wild enthusiasm about Christmas that year.

I handcrafted little corn husk dolls, and added wings and halos. Then I suspended them from the ceiling on invisible strings.  They were all named with three syllable names like Elizabeth, Gwendolyn, and Erica. With the background of the sort of lustrous wallpaper and a slate blue carpet, entering this room was almost a celestial event.

Around the corner on the hearth, a grapevine Christmas tree sparkled happily boasting diminutive floral sachets throughout. This was adorned with repurposed terracotta knick-knacks scavenged from a studio trash bin. The grapevines, harvested from woods nearby, symbolized a monumental task.

After all that work, the boys (my husband and his son) barely noticed.  Or in any event, didn’t mention that they had.  “Oh, well,” I pouted to myself.  I decided to enjoy the Christmas décor myself even if no one else did. 

After two weeks of no response to the Christmas extravaganza, I had to assume apathy on the part of the fellas.  More time went by, and still no remarks. My pouting turned into sprouting one day when a friend paid a Christmas visit.  Yes, I sprouted little invisible horns when she went into raptures over my little Christmas tree. 

She wanted it.

We visited a while over snicker doodles and coffee.  She couldn’t stop looking with a green tint of envy at the cone shaped Christmas tree delight.  After basking in the warmth of her appreciation, I decided to offer it to her.  The look of gratitude on her face was enough of a thank you, but she wanted to pay me for it.  She made an offer I couldn’t refuse.

There would only be a few days without a Christmas tree, I reasoned.  Soon we’d be headed south to visit my mother and father in law in Florida.  End of story, I had my pockets lined with some extra spending cash, and knew that at least someone appreciated the decorations.

That wasn’t really the end of the story, though.  When the men folk got home after school and work – all a sudden they noticed.  “Where’s the Christmas tree?” echoing expressions of major disappointment.  

“What about the little angels?” I asked.  “They’re still here.”

It wasn’t till then that I realized they actually appreciated my efforts after all. The pouting left me, but now it was grousing that I had to contend with.  Go figure.

The real end of the story is this. We had a great Christmas once we arrived at our southward destination of sunny Florida. Grandma and Grandpa had a big Christmas tree set up in their lanai. The entire room was flooded with sunlight and Christmas packages galore.

Merry Christmas All!

We think of possession as some evil, supernatural influence. This is why, in the modern world, it is ridiculed as non-existent, or simply the raving of the mad. But can a rational answer be given which can teach us a lot about ourselves?
I think it can. A good starting point is multiple personality. Here, the mind seems to fragment into a number of personalities, each taking it in turn to occupy the person. There are hundreds of documented cases.

They can be fascinating.

Many people seem to live their life quite naturally with such personality invasions, and each can seem a separate entity. But I’ve noticed, in many cases, a specific element within each personality.
They seem to reflect a specific emotion, or aspect, of the host. They can be specifically angry, sad, joyful, sexual, and many other traits. Indeed, it is as if it is not the mind that has split, but the specific emotions of the host.

This could have importance beyond the unexplained.
Consider, for instance, the serial killer. In many cases they seem to have separate personalities themselves. If married, a ‘normal’ personality can live a normal life, the wife even unaware of the truth.

The actual killer can be seen as anger in the raw. Once the murder has occurred, we often find a deep seated conscience which makes the killer carry out stupid errors, which eventually lead to capture, as if he wanted to be caught.

Could the serial killer be possessed?
Yet, not possessed by some supernatural influence, but a series of specific emotional fragments of his inner mind. It could be that there is a real ‘devil’ within.

Similarly, some people can appear absolute angels. Think of the monk, dedicating his life to service in God, totally subsuming all desires and emotions. Maybe it is not as difficult as it appears. The ‘monk’ personality simply sheds emotional baggage.

It can be seen in the evangelical movement.
In this case, they are filled with absolute joy, and nothing can touch them emotionally. Have they been touched by the ‘angelic’? Or have they simply discarded all other emotions?

We think of the mind as a coordinated whole. But the above suggests this need not be the case. Rather, the mind is a cauldron of conflicting emotions and traits, a particular fragment often rising within the ‘normal’ person.
Consider, for instance, sudden anger, where all other emotions disappear as you descend into a rage. Think, also, of the moments of pure, ecstatic joy, where nothing negative can touch you.
Are these moments of mild possession, when an emotional fragment escapes the confines of normality? If so, then the full blown possession is simply a matter of degrees. We all have the capacity to become devil or saint.

Grimmverse! It’s a unique Twitter role play and ranks among my personal favorites. It’s playful, interesting and intelligent. It’s also extremely complex. The storylines are fast-paced with multiple plot developments. Each chapter builds on the ones before and doesn’t necessarily stand on its own. Most of the characters are magical creatures. They die and come alive again. They transform, mutate and travel through space and time. Besides the main cast of more than a dozen characters there are many temporary characters. In conversations on Twitter, the characters occasionally interact without specifically directing their replies. Despite the challenges of following along, John Grimm, Cierra Rose, Legs Wesson, Dean Winchester, Sam Guthrie and the others are well worth the effort.

Today I’ll be speaking with:

Grimmverse Headquarters (@Grimmverse) Out of character and update account for the role play and website, which is rumored to be run by…can this be? Goblins!

John Grimm (@ReaperAsInGrimm) The handsome hero and central character of the role play who is host to a brash, unexpectedly charming demon named Reaper. Reaper’s responses are enclosed by dashes to separate them from John’s.

Ianto Jones (@TeaboyNoMore) One of the Torchwood team who, like John, carries a demon – Weevil.

@korikatra: Welcome gentlemen, demons, goblins! Thank you so much for making time to answer my questions!

@Grimmverse: First, thanks so much for taking the time to watch us. We are, primarily out for our own enjoyment and we understand that can make following us difficult. John’s answering most of the questions, with the exception of one or two that he honestly doesn’t know.

@korikatra: Ok then, John, let’s start with Legs Wesson (@ShotgunInsuranc). She’s described as “sensitive and from a Family of Hunters.” Later she’s referred to as “fae” and has unique powers. What is she?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: When I first met Legs– threw her over my shoulder and dragged her out of a hunt she was over her head in– she was a sensitive and the Wesson family goes way back in the Hunting circles. She was raised to it. Later on, we found out that she was a sensitive because she was part fae. Someone in her family tree is a faery…. So she’s fae. Long story short. Kinda.

@korikatra: I see. Why did David Shepherd (@ShepherdHunter) have Dean Winchester’s (@CallMeDean) car at the Mission? What is the significance of the black ‘67 Impala? Is Dean the only member of the team who is from 2010?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: David inherited the car from his father, who bought it at auction. That Impala was Dean’s father’s. It’s Dean’s last piece of his family and he left it behind when he came into the future. 

-It’s Dean’s teddy bear.-  

Shut up, Reaper. Sorry. Next question?

@korikatra: *stifles a giggle* Yes, next question! What does UAC stand for? At the UAC, Dean witnessed Sam Guthrie (@bottlerocketgal) revive from the dead. Are all members of John’s team immortal?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: UAC stands for ‘United Aerospace Corporation’. And… no. Dean’s not immortal, neither is Legs. Technically, we’re all killable.

@korikatra: When Shepherd gives you a bone-handled knife, it cuts you. The cut burns and doesn’t heal immediately. This is taken as “the final piece of evidence that Reaper is, indeed, a demon.” How does it prove that?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: From what I understand, the knife was forged in hell and brought out by a demon named Ruby. The knife was created to kill demons. Its reaction to me… Well, that specific reaction, proved Reaper was a demon because that’s what it does to demons. 

@korikatra: Your girlfriend, Cierra Rose (@KittehHasClaws) and the knife Shepherd delivered to you disappear, taken by the demon, Dick. Dick then beheads you with Ruby’s Knife. Is this the same bone-handled knife? Cierra is driven to try to kill her friends because of “Dick’s geas”. What’s a geas?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Well, Ruby’s the original ‘owner’ of the knife, and yeah, it’s the same one Shep gave me. A geas is a command or spell someone is under that they have to obey. They are compelled to via the spell or magic binding them.

@korikatra: There is a temporary but important character called Adam. Why was Legs the only one who didn’t recognize Adam? What kind of creature is Adam?

@Grimmverse: Hi! (Goblins now.) John doesn’t remember Adam. (Legs was away when Adam showed up.) Adam has to touch you for his tricks to work. (He’s an alien that lives on the energy created by memory….) So he inserts himself into people’s lives and lives on the people around him. (If you don’t remember him, he can’t exist! So Cas wiped everyone’s memories.)

@korikatra: Thanks, Goblins! Back to you, John, how are you still alive after being beheaded? How could the demon Dick use you as a host when you were already host to Reaper?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Ha! Yeah… I wasn’t really beheaded… Dick needed to buy time so he used an illusion– apparently he was good at those– to fake it. And Dick wanted to separate Reaper from me and then use what was left.

@korikatra; Who is Jimmy Novak and what is his connection to the team?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Jimmy…. He’s a great guy. I kinda feel bad for him. He’s Cas’ vessel… That is, the body Cas is using was a walking, talking, person with a life named Jimmy… He gave up everything for Cas to be able to come to Earth. 

-Apparently Angelcakes’ actual size is more like the Chrysler Building….-

@korikatra: After the ordeals involving Dick and Adam, Reaper is gone. Eventually, Reaper ends up in a mirror. How does he get there?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: -Hey… I was never really gone…. I was just… Everything operates on energy right? Well… Dick sapped mine when he tried to separate me. And well… I had to regroup. So John couldn’t feel me or hear me… He got a vacation.- 

Reaper wound up in the mirror because mirrors are soft spots. You can look into mirrors and see things that can’t be seen normally. Reaper was stuck between this world and the next– not quite a ghost, not quite a shade– and could step into the mirrors and be perceived. Later, when he got stronger, he was a shadow as well.

@korikatra: Sam tries to help you and Reaper reconnect using the spell Giles gave to Dean.
Who’s Giles?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Dean and Legs had a small issue with something and wound up in a place called Sunnydale. Sunnydale was an alternate reality from us… Dean said they were a TV show. Go figure. Giles was a man there who knew some stuff and gave Dean something to try and help.

@korikatra: There are mysterious ‘suits’ who interfere with the work of your team. The question is asked, “Are these people government or what?” Are they Torchwood? What exactly is Torchwood anyway?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: The suits are…. Difficult to understand. They’re part of the Technarch. They want to remove all creativity and change from the world– make it static, unchanging and always the same, easy to predict. They are not officially part of the government, but they do have their hands in a lot of pies. 

-They aren’t Torchwood. My little bro wouldn’t last five minutes with them.-

Shut up, Reaper. Anyway, Torchwood’s an agency that operates outside the law… They deal with the extraterrestrial stuff and things that pop through the various soft spots in the world… They call them ‘rifts’.

@korikatra: Legs ends up spending 5 years in a Labyrinth which translates to 5 days in real life. What was the purpose of her time in Labyrinth? When she returns to the hotel, she reaches into the mirror to comfort Reaper and he’s scared. Why?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Her time in the Labyrinth was getting to know her fae side. She was going through a second puberty, basically. When she comes back, she does something no one should be able to to do…. And Reaper’s a chicken.

-Am not.-

Riiight.

@korikatra: Where is Cardiff? What’s the difference between Torchwood 3 and Torchwood 4? Is there a Torchwood 1 and 2 somewhere? What is their purpose? How did Hart & Jack become involved with the Grimmverse team?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: I think I’ll hand this one over to Ianto for you… He’s more familiar with the Torchwood things…

@TeaboyNoMore: Ah, Cardiff is in Wales. It’s the home base of Torchwood 3. And yes, there was a 1 and a 2. I was originally employed with 1 as a junior researcher, actually. The multiple locations were only to cover more ground. Personally, I’d have more than one Torchwood in America… but the Americas are touchy, therefore there is only one. Hart and Jack apparently met John and Company via Twitter, through Owen, interestingly.

@korikatra: Jack Harkness (@FixedPointJack) and John Hart (@IWasAGoodWife) use Vortex Manipulators. Does this make them Time Agents? Is Owen Harper (@StillDrHarper) a Time Agent as well?

@TeaboyNoMore: Yes, Jack and John are Time Agents. Owen is not.

@korikatra: Ianto, you have a demon named Weevil, just as John has Reaper. What is a weevil? When he pulls a feather from the wings of Castiel (@CastielRising), the angel is surprised. Why?

@TeaboyNoMore: A weevil is a small insect– Mm. You mean the weevil that Weevil was named for. Owen named Weevil after a creature we’re very familiar with from Torchwood 3. They were a semi-harmless race that tended to be scavengers. Until things get unbalanced and then they lash out. They are sized like humans, live in packs, have a hive mentality, and are stronger and faster than humans. Owen saw Weevil hunched in a corner, growling, and assumed. Instead, he got me.

Castiel’s wings are intangible and invisible until he chooses to make them so. Weevil is able to perceive Castiel’s– and Gabriel’s– wings despite this. That, combined with his ability to pluck a feather from something he shouldn’t be able to touch? This was disturbing for the angel. Amazing that the unknown could cause an angel issue.

@korikatra: During their trip to the Caribbean, the Team encounters a kracken. What is a kracken?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: I’ll take back over from Ianto for now. Sorry I couldn’t answer those for you, darlin. Simply put, a kraken is a sea creature that looks like a giant bundle of seaweed given a beak and an eye. It’s a ‘monster’ and they’re rare– usually ships get attacked by sea serpents or giant squid. They’re debatably intelligent and apparently curious.

@korikatra: Gabriel is introduced as a deceased archangel who is looking for Castiel. How can an immortal be deceased? How can he be deceased yet searching for Cas? What is the difference between an angel and an archangel? There is a fight with someone named Raphael. Is he an angel too? Castiel believes he can’t help because his powers are low. Later they are recovered. What causes this ebb and flow of angel power?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: -Hot wings played dead once– ran off to join the pagans and played dead to his own siblings– then was actually killed by his brother, Lucifer. So he was actually dead.-

What Reaper’s leaving out, is that someone– something?– has apparently brought Gabe back from the dead. Umm… Archangel’s are like God’s first kids… Lucifer, Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. The other angels are the secondary generation…. Less power there, apparently.

Cas had an ‘ebb’ of power because his dick brother, Raphael, cut him from heaven. Without being attached to that source, he had no power to use. Never could have been done to an Archangel, but Cas isn’t one. So Gabe loaned Cas some of his Grace– his power– and they went and took care of Raphael.

@korikatra: Ben Braeden is recognized by Dean but he ends up being the demon who once possessed Dean. Castiel exorcises the demon and frees the real Ben. He seems important. Who is he?

@ReaperAsInGrimm: Ben Braeden is possibly Dean’s kid. We’re all betting on it. If Ben is or isn’t Dean’s, it doesn’t really matter because Dean feels responsible for the kid and wants to make sure he’s okay. 

-I’m saying he’s Dean’s cause we all know Dean banged Lisa like a screen door in a gale and—

Yeah. That’s enough of that.

@korikatra: *grins* Thank you for speaking with me today, it’s been enlightening! Is there anything you’d like me to add that I haven’t asked about? Maybe a teaser on your upcoming plans or random Grimmverse trivia?  

@Grimmverse: Interesting facts? Umm… Watch the NPCs that get named but don’t get on the NPC account. Some of them are fun references to other TV shows/book series/movies/etc… and one or two might be past characters making a comeback… You never know with us!

There are all kinds of breeds of vampire in Grimmverse. And they’re mostly named for the ‘anthropologist’ who discovers them. For instance the Whedonites, named for Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Harrisites, the breed of vampire in the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris (Also known as Trueblood). There are references to ’sparklepires’ a specific race of vampires in the Pacific Northwest.

Grimmverse tends to be rather tongue in cheek, though we can be pretty serious for the storylines. If we make a reference to something and you think you know what it’s from, @ the Grimmverse account and the Goblins will be sure to let you know if you’re right. We can be a giant game of Nerd sometimes.

Fun fact: The Team’s phones rarely run out of battery life. Why is this? There is actually a piece of technology in development today, in our timeline, that allows batteries to recharge via friction– i.e. as you move around, the battery recharges itself from the friction of the particles in the air moving against it. We appropriated that and made it real and in massive use.

Our plans for the future are just that: We have a lot going on and do plan to continue– we’ve made it past a year now, as of July 5th! But in our stories: What’s happening with the Hellfire Club? Shaw (@BlackKingShaw) occasionally makes rumblings about ‘plans’… And that Chuck (@OhMyChuck) guy, who the hell is he, anyway? If it’s over why is he still mooching off David, and why is he still getting visions?

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I hope our answers weren’t too long or rambling and I hope we answered the questions for you.  The website does have some good background information, but we’re always willing to answer question on the timeline. No one should ever worry about poking one of us and asking something. If we don’t know, we’ll come up with an answer. We love interaction and have gotten some good play in the past from people being friendly. If you have any further questions, please let me know. (And the Goblins!) Don’t forget us! (We’re too awesome to forget!)

Gabriel: Yes, He says He became weary of their sins, of their insolence, and their fornication. He became fed up with their disgraceful lives.

Michael: So He plans to just kill them?

Gabriel: Yes, brother. He has done it before, has He not? And you were present among those who watched when He did. Why the sudden wave of emotion?

Michael: I do not know. I’ve watched them and walked among them for so long.. I’ve seen their most staggering defeats and glorious triumphs. One can say I’ve become quite fond of them.

Gabriel: The Sword of God, with a soft spot in his heart for a lesser life-form? Oh, where is my brother, the Champion of the Heavens, and what have you done with him?

Michael: Hold your tongue and mockery, Gabriel. I am in the mood for neither. I remember your fondness for the Sodomites.. how that venture failed for you! Ah, and don’t get me started on your friendship of old with the traitor Lucif-

Gabriel: Alright, enough!! I get your meaning. Do not bring up that heartbreak.  At any rate, God wants for you & I to gather the Four Winds, and awaken Sister Rain. The time of vengeance upon your Friends has come. You have my sympathies, but we’ve work to do.

Michael: Understood, brother. Still.. I shall miss my Friends the Elephants. I shall weep for them.

Gabriel: I know, Michael. And what shall we do with the race of Men?

Michael: Who cares?

I really don’t think Obama is failing.

So have we forgot about all the stuff that George W. Bush did?

Have we forgot about the imaginary weapons of mass destruction?

Or the fact that all the time Bush was in office gas was over 4 bucks a gallon?

I’m tired of hearing about how bad Obama is.

If you don’t like this country leave it or shut the hell up.

This life isn’t perfect nobody’s perfect not even white guys.

I feel like people are just being racist.

Racism needs to stop and it needs to stop now but everybody is a little bit racist.

I don’t know what to believe anymore.

I just hate how the world is running.

Everybody is focused on money.

Republicans and Democrats aren’t angels!

No politician is an angel.

No person is an angel.

I want to be somewhere where there is no fighting, debating, or arguing.

That just won’t happen!

We still are going to be here.

We still are going to be here no matter who is president.

We might as well just make our money and go about our life.
