Perhaps clarification is unnecessary but...I had met a few parishioners (a deacon) over the years during quick stops...but times had changed, and not for the better in America when I had my encounter with the militant young woman. As I recall my shooing away happened soon after the infamous Dylan Roof mass shooting in South Carolina and the candlelit white power parade in nearby Charlottsville. So there's that.

Sad. We seem to be in a time when a lot people aren't just giving in to but embracing a deep-seated and dangerous human flaw — the us-them mentality, which in full form includes the notion that it really doesn't matter what happens to them.
Not just in the US. Us-them is growing everywhere, and adherents are gaining significant political power in many places — often with the full blessing of major organized religions.
The future's looking more like 1930s Europe everyday.

Keep your hopes up. The Golden Ballroom Presidency looks to be crumbling a bit. There seems to be the whiff of reality in the air all of a sudden, maybe it'll lead to real change next November.

“The Golden Ballroom” as brought to you by an alphabet of Fortune 500 overlords. I would hope someone in 2028 runs on knocking that monstrosity down while simultaneously throwing America a party across Pennsylvania Ave. in Lafayette Park.
@Rás Cnoic as some here noted a month back in my ‘find the hawk’ picture I grow (legally…now) some Cannabis each year. One plant was particularly potent…I called it ‘Green Craic’ thanks to your explanation sometime back. I actually put labels on the mason jars I presented to my citified friends. Told me I spelled Craic wrong until they smoked it.

your picture certainly caught my attention, recumbent bike of sorts - I think my achy back would approve, 23 mph average - you were really motoring on that bike, the dog walker and the old dog in background were also impressed

I have been very disturbed by the online celebrating and revelling in the filmed deaths of soldiers in the Ukraine war.
Literally human beings, sons and fathers being ended by high and low tech weapons of human carnage, struggling for their lives.
Hundreds of thousands of lifetimes ended in terror and despair while being mocked for being conscripted into the 'wrong' side.
Letters recieved by grieving families, orphaned kids, all neatly tucked into that place we call denial for self preservation.
I dont see the point of us sometimes.
