"The deepest pain I ever felt was denying my own feelings to make everyone else comfortable." ~Nicole Lyons When I was growing up back in the ‘40s and ‘50s, I was never asked by anyone how I felt about being adopted. Not even as I got older. I just suffered in silence and never let on about what was going on inside of me.  I would overhear people telling my adopted parents how lucky they were that I was an intelligent, good looking, well behaved child, a child to be proud of. No one ever discussed with me how I felt about losing my biological family, my true heritage, my history.

  Why should anyone follow what a judge or court says today, especially SCOTUS? Where is it written that we must follow the corrupt? History tells us that when all else fails, Revolution.   “You say you want a revolution … You tell me that it's evolution … But when you talk about destruction Don't you know that you can count me out” https://youtu.be/BGLGzRXY5Bw The Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,  Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."  Interpretation: We, the founding fathers of America, based on self-evident truth which our own human reason dictates, and not because of any doctrines from religious text such as the Bible, declare liberty of conscience for the American people, liberty for you to worship any kind of deity you like, whether it's called Baalzebub. Astaroth, Chemosh, Dagon, the Queen of...
