Years ago, a neighbor's tree limb fell and took out my electricity. Her insurance company (Nationwide) refused to pay. Mine did, but it cost me my 500 dollars in detectable so I sied her and her company for that amount plus court costs. Nationwide sent a lawyer, while I represented myself. I even called witnesses and photos of a rotting tree. The lawyer kept saying, over and over, "act of god." I won. Two weeks later, the tree dropped a branch on another neighbor. the insurance company, Nationwide, paid to cut down the tree, then dropped the woman as a client. The moment I knew I had won came when the magistrate stopped me as I started to cite a case and said, "Son, if a tree falls in the middle of a field and someone or something is hurt or damaged, someone is going to pay."

One year, however, Pop just got us in the car and headed as far West as possible, stopping at places along the way. We made it to Dodge City and saw the old West reenactment. That was a fun memory. I even remember taking a photo of a gravestone that had my best friend's name inscribed on it.

He, of course, wanted to know my objections. Too which I said, the women don't bother me, however, they are posed like guns, in a James Bondian fashion. Kid stopped wearing the shirt to school.

Right now, I do not know what I would do. If I were in intense pain, I may wish to find relief from said pain. However, I feel responsible to certain people and their feelings - NONE of which hold religious convictions. Those family members who would want to stop me, on religious grounds, can go pound sand. It would, however, be something I would discuss before choosing to do so.

Douglass had a trade; only worked 5 and a half days a week; he got a small pay and was well fed and clothed; he got to visit with relatives and had holidays off. Yet, as Douglass knew, he was a slave, a fucking held in legal captivity slave, and everything he had could be gone at the whimsy of one person. There is nothing good about slavery.
