I only mentioned him because I came across reference to the Paraguay communities years ago and wondered why it wasn't a bigger story. <br /><br />Well, what was the play like?

And American 'values' are pure bullshit. Americans don't have values, they have wants, needs, and greeds. <br /><br />There are exceptions of course, just not enough of them. America is one experiment that needs to fail. This is just a land of fucked up people and crooks.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
