i can't quite get a read on you, sanders. i know you live in texas...but
where? i live in north fort worth. surely we aren't neighbors! we may tip
the scales come election time! to atheists who most likely won't vote
republican. i suppose i could just look for another car on the road with an
egged paint-job and shoe polish sayings, like 'gawd don't like democrats' or
'if yur not for us, yur'n againus' (ha ha ha...i said 'yur'n')...or 'go to
hell, damned atheist'. ;^)
