Shun such as lounge through afternoons and eves,
And on thy dial write, "Beware of thieves!"

it holds my golden time! — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

It still amazes me how complicit the media are in propagandizing for war. This is true whether it's a Republican or Democratic-leaning entity.

It just may be that the owners of the large media entities are closely connected to the military-industrial complex. — Ron Paul
