Set the stage. It’s long past time for a competant actor. Set the table. We’re overdue for an adult diner. Set the microphones and cameras; the witnesses must speak.

Set the time of our deliverance from vulgar, conniving “Chosen Ones.”

    I think there are too many broken promises today….what is truth, what is lies, we need a new script the current one was written by a mad-man.

    In some cases I would have preferred promises broken.

      Indeed. Some of his promises, in particular. But the promises made in the Declaration of Independence? Definitely not! Thanks for reading! 😀
