A stripper I knew had beautiful and natural 34 C's. Then she became pregnant. After giving birth to her daughter and resuming dancing, her breasts had naturally grown to at least a D. She liked the way she looked and thought that it made her more successful. After awhile and, again...

You have abandoned your original premise, that the American people (indeed the entire world) have entered dark times - "a sinkhole without bottom" - as a result of the actions of the present administration. I am probably giving you more credit than is deserved, but perhaps you have seen the...

Some good news that has occurred: The Child Well-Being Index recently issued the following findings about children in the U.S.: The adolescent and teen birth rate dropeed from 20 births per 1000 girls in 1992 to 10.9 births per 1000 girls in 2004. Binge drinking among high school seniors has...

And barely articulate. Reasoned discourse is impossible without participants capable of reasoning. Mr. Woodpeckr, your diatribe is unworthy of you if you desire to spark other than contempt or slavish obsequiousness.
