HI Anna + Ron
and friends,
and
enemies;
or those jealous
of my natural beauty,
my infinate yet fractured wisdom,
and my amazing flexibility.
Thanks
Ann and Ron, for NOT oppressing my rights by censoring or
deleting my messages,be they political,musical, relgious, poetic,
etc.
In fact, the both of you, as well as others here, have made me feel
welcome ,after posting my personal thoughts.
Sure,
I could spew a bunch of lies about myself in order to be
popular, and go with the flow;
and i know i've posted controvery
that everyone wouldnt agree with.
Censorship is downright sinister;
Censorship is corruptive.
as we Americans
have had
our own die in wars, and march in streets,
to protect our right of
free speech as guaranteed in the
first-ammendmant
of our Constitution!
Oh> and by the way,
I AM NOT a friggin'Communist
as I have been accused of !!!

Censorship is EVIL and greases
the bloody hands of those
that oil
the Axis Of EVIL...
You hypocrites know who you are!
Censors of free speech,
You
can "white-wash" your Fence and make it appear clean,
but you know the smell of blood is underneath the censorship-paint.
And
Judas himself would feel clean, and at home, in your
white-washed poison church of snakes.
"The line it is drawn
The
curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past"
Your censored=order
is fucked up, vicious, and diabolic.
