p> This compendium of illiterations, art, literature and journalism is a compost pile of fermenting illiterati to toss onto the garden of your imagination to further fertilize it to yield a bounty of ideas and free thought. It breaks rules as it does not recognize good grammer in some instances as the final authority over random thought. The words and art herein hopefully fall from an imaginary pinata as delightful and delicious candy
Thx for the add. Sorry it took me so long to respond. LOVE the shoes. Had to get another pair in a different size, because I'm a wide size, but I gave the old ones to the homeless instead of trying to exchange them because I wanted to support your cause. (Olive Low-Tops)
They seem to look better then the old Converse ones I had. (Also to the homeless) Perhaps it's partly because what's involved it them is so much better.
Peace Sunday, June 5, 1982, Rose Bowl, no nukes - nuclear disarmament - stop nuclear madness concert - NYC - Central Park - June 12, 1982, 1,000,000 person march and rally for Nuclear Freeze. Photography and presentation by Curtis Rainbow. 'Give Peace a Chance' music by Achim Schultz. Inspiration by Yoko Ono. Dedicated to John Lennon.
For
those interested in animal rights/welfare fiction, please have a look to my
novel “The Demon’s Trial”. The process of writing it is what made me a vegan,
by the way.
