And the feigned courage of the social masses falls apart when confronted in real life.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-92106717132981450802018-12-17T16:13:36.017-08:002018-12-17T16:13:36.017-08:00Yup.

Before "social media," movies, books, etc, people talked TO EACH OTHER. Of course, this involves courage; the courage to stand for something even if rotten tomatoes are hurled at you. Courage isn't required for "social media," as can be evidenced by the verbal vomit of the "keyboard warriors."

Fear didn't build this country, but will surely destroy it...Peteforesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702888855868877243noreply@blogger.com
