Perhaps it is time to look at an alternative perspective
------ WE THE PEOPLE OF THE FREE WORLD not bonded by citizenship
but by Body and Blood. To remind us that we stand together with
those repressed by their owned Govt and sew the seed of Hate and
Division.

"terrorist" and "slut" when she asked her neighbour to
make way for her son to go on the swings in a playground in
