OMG

We now have to listen and watch a State prayer service. This is outrageous and extremely offensive and misleading. Prayer is not going defeat this virus.

Watching but this should not be promoted by this Governor and our TV stations should not participate in this at best misleading event.

If nothing else, it gives people something to do. Why do you think musicians are having concerts? They’re bored!!!!! Everyone is trying to pass the time.

I am a new here, but I need some information that is NOT that ass in the White House and now we have BullStitt for governor. I have never voted for a republican for any office anywhere in this state.
Unfortunately though I was born in California, my mother moved us back here when he dumped her. So I grew up in Mangum, Oklahoma. I was also born Liberal and gay in a town of less than 4,000. I became very depressed and laid around the house after I was harassed by a group of older black kids because they were afraid that my friendship with a black classmate put him in danger from white people. I did not and do not understand the conservative mindset.
Very small in groups and huge out groups. They are suspicious of every new thing being food drink or people. It is definitely a pain to exist in a red state. One must be careful in revealing too much and finding the Oklahoma ns who are not idiots. We do exist, we are rare because in this state we now have permit less carry in a culture of gun humpers. A state whose contribution to the international lexicon is "going postal"

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid.
But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."




R. A. Heinlein.


Time Enough for Love



I escaped from Mangum, about 40 years ago.
The town has under 4,000.00 people has had 3 cases caused by a traveling preacher from Tulsa.
