I may not change them but I am not going to attack anyone or demean them for holding those views. I will just disagree. That doesn’t make me evil or something.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No . it makes you a citizen as assumed by our Founders.

BUt to the woke crowd.....you become eminently cancel-able.So it is not enough to keep just to our pen. At times the pen must become a sword, using satire, just as the pamphleteers of old like Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine did.

Then, especially then, the cancel culture woke crowd cannot cancel you.They loose it when confronted by satire and wit, exposing their rank anger and shallow thinking.

Mind you I laud your restraint and kindness, but there are times when one’s pen must become a sword.

Here is Franklin. Good to read, inspires a person to get up to all sorts of trolling, LOL:

I agree...

I’ll check out that link. I have always found what Franklin wrote thru out his life to hold many pearls of wisdom that are as applicable today as they were when he wrote them.
