  1. Dayum.

    That got me right in the gizzard.

    That's the saddest thing I have seen in a long damn time.

    I think I am going to shamelessly swipe that, with all due respect and linkage.

    It cries out to be shared Brock.

    1. Keep a stiff upper lip as my mother would say, but it's difficult to do at times.

  4. Guys what is it you are crying about. All I see is a picture of a little girl and no link for a video or anything. I can guess what it's about but I can't see it. Internet problems since a storm last night. Maybe it's just not loading on my browser?

  5. yes, I get the concept about loss of freedom but all I see on my screen is a small picture of a girl covering the middle third of a black space and no other commentary or video link. I just figured there must be more, a video or something to evoke such emotion.

    I cry inwardly every day about the loss of freedom without the little girl to remind me that she might never know it.

  6. Oh I agree. It's a powerful photo essay. I just thought I was missing something else. We had a bad thunder storm last night and
    my internet has been slow and not loading right.

    1. It was great here last night with much thunder, lighting and rain, but I would have been happy with more.

  7. I don't think you would have liked it much at my house. Lighting bolts falling very close. Power going off and on. Phones and internet out for a while. A catatonic Jack Russell Terrier shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.

    It's been raining here all morning.

    1. I've just ordered a car window sticker with this picture.

      Maybe, because I have kids... This *is* deeply emotional...

      This goes in line with my recent (and new for me) thoughts: do I want to live for the sake of living, or am I willing to die for the freedom of my children?

      I can't fix all stupid, and I can't eliminate all TPTB.
      I gues I'm just going to have to settle of "dire trying".
      That's the best I can do.

    2. Great idea! Do you have the link where you ordered it, please?
