How many parts of the USA have you observed first hand for any extended period?

My dream is for your followers to pitch together and sponsor you on a sabbatical for a year or two to travel the length and breadth, and discover that just about everything you think you know is flat wrong (same goes for your very unrepresentative flock).

A former NPR executive, who had never ventured beyond his typical liberal bubble, did just that and has a forthcoming book about his epiphanies.

I shouldn’t be, but I’m routinely shocked by the level of racism that’s still around in many parts of the US.

Checked several other sources, not always independent, but several were, and indeed it turns out to be true. UNBELIEVABLE, SHOCKING, but true.
Mr Shirley, the judge in question, had to resign over this case, good for him. Such people, that have completely lost all sense of proportion, should not be judges.
I suspect that ‘mother A’, ‘an empoverished mother from Jackson’ (where, btw, was the father?) was a MOC, so racism probably played a role too.
Would fit with the unpaid traffic fines being used to disenfranchise voters (VOC’s, that is),

I remember that picture of the male great apes from my youth. What did not strike me then, but does now, is the fuzziness of their genitals.
With four different mating systems, their genitals are among the more interesting parts of their anatomy, differing between them E.g. the promiscuous chimps have huge balls, while gorillas with their secure harems have tiny ones.

There’s a Washington Post article today about, among other things, a survey on the effect Trump has had on US politics. I tweeted it and will post the tweet in my next tweets post.

Thanks Andrea. I won’t give up, but I need to oull back a bit. Apart from my injuries, there’s another reason which I will let everyone know at a later date.
