“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” -- Theodore Dalrymple [Wiki attributes this to Anthony Daniels, TD is his nom de plume]

So, it must have altered my personality leading me to post something back in Feb of this year. Must be true. And it only took you until Halloween to comment. LOL! I know. You’ve been busy, like the rest of us, fighting the forces of evil. ;-)
At least my jack-o-lantern finally has a light in it...
Turket? We just got done with trick-or-treat.
I got 3 in my plastic orange pumpkin tote. Turkets are like nuggets just bigger. (Stupid late night posts!) LOL!
So, they're made out of turkey instead of chicken? One of my goofier snacks is chicken nuggets with pesto. :^)
