“It’s a season of love.” Boom, go the bombs outside of a Catholic church. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Seven found shot at the breakfast table in Texas. Love, love, love, love, love, and more love…bullshit! We are not a world that loves anymore; we are a world filled with hate. “You’re wrong,” you say? [...]

“Hey, hey, whadda ya say, Let’s take over Wall Street today.” “We are the other 99%! “Feed the needy, not the greedy!” How about thanking Wall Street for trying to boost the value of our pension funds for those who are trying to supplement their Social Security?
