Here is one of our anti-flyers floating around town. HT: Dale Courtney Dale does a good job pointing out some of the anomalies. If you go to the Fugitive Press website that sponsored the flyer, you can see my favorite out of this batch, which is the implication that doctored urine to hide your doping …
Greed, Guilt, or Gratitude by Grace
You are Americans, most of you, and trying to speak to you about wealth is like addressing a congregation of fish on the nature of water. When we consider how the vast majority of the human race has lived up to this generation, and indeed, how most of the world still lives today, your wealth …
