Saturday

I love it when I open a thread, and the author actually posts a long, well-thought-out point of view.
I agree with you, Bluetus. And I'm glad you included a bit of criticism for Schumer, too. We have a big task ahead of us, and if we are going to turn the tide, we need to correct our mistakes and continue moving forward.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I was glad your post was NOT a linked video with no commentary.
