Witchcraft and witches are a fiction. A persistent fiction but still a fiction.

Reparations are given, not taken.

As a Canadian I share my medical expenses with 35,000,000 other Canadians. It brings down the cost to about 40% of the exact same service in the USA.

I am a Canadian who has travelled a fair amount in the USA. I have found Americans to be quite insular and the majority seem to have little knowledge or understanding of anything outside the USA and a fair number of those not even outside their state.

President Dwight Eisenhower ~~~ "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the...

Shameful. And a real rush job.

I like the third image --- it needed the context of the savannah. I think perhaps the elephants right eye is not quite right. Very well done. You have real talent.

While that may be generally true, it is not universally true --- there are many wealthy people who have used their wealth to support the poor and marginalized. I'll provide just one example that you might not be familiar with. The Aga Khan is one of the wealthiest people on earth. Over the years...
