I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions
can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives
They're going to poison a city with 17 million people
