I'm not from the usa, and sometimes interacting with u.s. citizens can be 'surprising' to say the least...
So I did what had to be done, and I clicked on the 'political' related blog link... PHEW!!! What a relief! Edward is a lucid and enlightened socially aware and benevolent decent human being. (I.E. not a kkk religious nutjob nazi) Thanks for that!! Félix PS : its 2020 why do I still have to wonder if people are nazis? this is surreal! like we're in some form of indiana jones movie instead of real life? Jeez! That presidency is a nightmare. Hope this ends in november. On Friday, June 12, 2020 at 12:21:47 PM UTC-4, Edward K.
