So this silly rule of offending no one is just a shell game.
But their all at it. I only hope would be that they'd find excuses to do different than the whore position of now. My one hope would be that young Americans would take back ownership of their country and dump the present bunch of whore masters. Obviously there's one one to fit JFK's shoes for now.
