Well Joe,
As Kenny Rogers used to say: "You've got to know when to hold them..
and know when to fold them"
This is also a good lesson to show what happens to people when their
mind is programmed with incorrect knowledge. I was 100% sure I was
right about this. I damned everyone who said I was wrong. Yet when PPL
told me what time it was I instantly changed my way of thinking and
did what was the ethical and moral thing to do.
It would make me oh so happy when I talk to people about a subject
that I have studied for decades, to do the same thing when I show them
that their way of thinking about black people is completely ass
backwards.
Sadly, everywhere I go online, they never admit that they were wrong
in what they believed. they continue to scream, and curse at me and at
their ancestors, African Americans.
That's the difference between me and Archie Bunker you folks. when I'm
proven wrong, I can erase the garbage in my head and replace it with
something correct, and move onwards to a better life.
Whereas the White Supremacists, simply refuse to acknowledge they are
wrong, no matter how powerful the evidence that you present them. They
simply desire with all their heart and soul to continue believing the
big lie that they are superior because of their skin color. :-))
I give myself a pat on the back. Than you Joe for giving me some pats,
and the rest of you all have my deepest sympathies.
Except for Jingus of course. I'll be more patient with him in the
future. Regardless of what he calls me. He's proven to me that he's
a good man deep down under. :-)

I don't know how well you attorneys are doing out there, but PPL is
looking for high quality attorneys to work for them. Then you won't
have to spend thousands of dollars a month advertising for business.
They will send you hundred of clients a month, and pay you far better
than you will make on your own, or working for some law firm. :-0
Just something to email me about privately if you are interested in
knowing how to do that.
I've had another one of my visions folks.
Al Gore will still be the democratic nominee. He is back on the front
pages now, and Dickie Cheney will still be the Republican nominee
along with C Rice.
However my new prediction is that the
Young black French Guy, Monfils, will win Wimbledon if he plays, and
Nadal will take second. Djokovic will be third and Roger will be
fourth.
Jelena will win Wimbledon, and Ana will be the runner up. :-0
And so it goes
Everything you ever wanted to know about politics,racism, White Supremacy,
and religion,
but were afraid to ask!
