I’d like to say there are no hard feelings when I get the bum’s rush from other US socialists but I’m not that big-hearted. Truth is, I can be downright petulant. I have a waiting list of Facebook friend requests from people I would like to engage with politically & the bumps-on-a-log are in the way.

My views on Kashmir, Syria, & conspiracy theories have been clearing ’em out right & left. One guy left in a huff after calling me a senile old lady–like that was a bad thing when senility sure makes living under capitalism easier.

Anyway, I meant no offense (well maybe a little) by unfriending you; I just wanted to make room for people whose activity level shows they are still alive.

Just so there’s no confusion, the monstrous attacks in Paris are to be condemned–whoever committed them. Our heartfelt condolences to those who lost a beloved or survive & live in fear. Targeting defenseless civilians is a criminal outrage & those who did this should be apprehended & prosecuted.

For the record, I am not persuaded by the report that ISIS took responsibility. Documentation for that is necessary in a world based on governmental deceits & chicaneries.

When terrorism hits countries & cities not in the designated war zones of the US-NATO nexus, it should bring home to us the horrors of what is happening to defenseless civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, Kashmir, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, DR Congo, Mexico, Myanmar, Somalia, & elsewhere sustaining ethnic cleansing, brutal repression, or massive carpet bombing.

I can personally testify that Islamophobia attracts the worst kind of wackos & haters. In the past hour I’ve bounced or deleted nearly twenty people who were like rattle snakes–with apologies to the snakes for the comparison.

The most affable guy in the crowd is trying to raise $10 million for a manmade island for Jews near Hawaii in order to solve the Middle East problem. Should I have taken pity on him instead of kicking his ass to the curb? Maybe I should have sent him a buck.

That’s what you get for not being a hater.
