Apropos something, I'm sure. <br /><br />But on a topic not regarding a word I've got little use for, it strikes me that as long as cities, counties, and states don't report criminal aliens to immigration for deportation, those who are victimized by them are going to lash out any way they can. And it quite frankly baffles me that even fellow illegals want to keep criminals around. One would figure that they've got enough criminals in their communities already, even without criminal immigrants, but apparently not.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-73674090244159831942016-03-09T22:20:01.318-06:002016-03-09T22:20:01.318-06:00I don't think the Republic is doomed.

I try not to censor my comment section too much; I could, but since Gino and I are friends he gets some latitude because I know what's in his heart. And, crucially, he owns his comments by signing his name to them.<br /><br />I also allow anonymous commenters in my comment section, but frankly I find them pretty damned gutless. You say you see how people talk when they don't think anyone is listening, but you hide behind the veil of anonymity? Weak, weak, weak, although I will say the non-standard punctuation is a nice touch.
