This would not excuse putting him in the van loose; but again Nero had no influence upon that.
Amen brother!
Exactly! Every city has its plusses and minuses, its own history, its own contributions to society. My original comment was in response to someone who said he doesn't care if the whole liberal city burns down. I just think that kind of thoughtless comment ignores the real harm that would be done, and encourages people to give up on society instead of working to improve it. It's the comment of someone who's either a coward or has given up. Well, I'll readily admit to being a coward myself, but I'm not giving up.
Don't forget Poe!
WOOHOO!
Good comments. I want to point out, though, that I could still walk through any neighborhood in Seattle, day or night, without pre-arming myself with a Seal squadron, so the two cities really aren’t equivalent in operational terms. I prefer the mountain views as well!
LOL! I prefer the mountains, too. And it’s true that I wouldn’t go walking in some areas after dark. But in my more than 50 years of living here, I’ve only seen one neighborhood that I would never go back into during the day. I drive through some pretty tough areas every day, and I never feel threatened. It seems that the people who live in these neighborhoods, as opposed to those who drive through them, are the real victims.
Prayers up for Baltimore. Y’all gonna need them.
Poe died in Baltimore but he was born in Boston.
Well maybe they will take control of those who want to burn it down, until then let it burn.
Bonfire tonight!.....
