[AGL] what fun!

[Frances Morey]

I guess I can't get John Wayne in whatever that movie was where he spanked
his "wife" who would be like Lady Bird in real life, with an effing kitchen
spatula for turning eggs. I walked out of that movie and swore I'd never go
to see another John Wayne film. That was even before I became a feminist.

BTW the richer the land owner the more certain that they don't want to
share their wealth with the poor through taxation. Cutting taxes is a
phobia--very anti- civilization oriented. Who needs roads, I'm not going
anywhere? Who needs mail, I resent notifications about taxes and the MF's
who want to collect them? I just want my guns, locked and loaded, to fend
off any intrusion of the world.

Nah, I'd rather die in a home invasion than to live like I'm always
expecting one.
Best,
Frances
