Sidenote to those who don't like this: Elsa has a rainbow flag bumper sticker on her sled. Deal with it.
Your the best !!!
Elsa is an ally❤
Yes, amen Beau
That's Funny as F***. Sorry Disney🙃 and which ever child might be reading this.
On your shirt, it looks kind of like she's holding a war hammer over her shoulder ...
... or maybe a croquet mallet, but let's go with warhammer.
There are plenty of reasons to be upset with Disney. This isn’t one of them.
For real.
Absolutely!!
Absolutely
I mean, it’s a classic disney ride. *Every* time disney does this, they catch flack for it, racist or not.
Right wingers love to play the victim card; they do it with the aggressiveness of the entitled.
Remember, Jesus was re-branded as a white man...
He's been rebranded as black and Korean too. 🤷♂️
Haha true
hahaha my parent's church actually has a brown Jesus painting in the entryway. I'm not Christian, but when I went with my mom once I thought "wow. That's rare and accurate"
He was branded as real. Fictional characters can be whatever skin tone you want em to be.
@@connerwanders
Accurate? How? The man never existed. Jesus, like the enslavement of the Jews and exodus story, has been conclusively proven to be bullshit by the very people, Talmudic and biblical archaeologists, who were the most invested in proving him to be real, just as they've proven the enslavement of the Jews and the exodus story to be a load of pig shit despite the fact they went into each dig entirely focused on proving them true.
When people say, they don't like changes "just to make liberals happy" what they almost always mean is "I'd prefer black people were uncomfortable"
Absolutely right, Joe.
nynetynyne as well meaning as that sentiment is, it's part of the problem.
@nynetynyne straight up. But we also need to embrace our differences culturally, the beauty of America is that there is an infinite amount of culture everyone takes part in, and we are all a weird mash up of cultures and sub cultures. Most of us dont even know it. Conservatives of today think classic rock and country are the only good genres of music ever and they seem to think its "white music" but they dont have a clue that their favorite classic artists' heroes were largely black people (at least in rock music, I am assuming country is from blues and rock, or jazz, so country would be of origins in black culture too I would think, basically every single genre other than classical has roots in black culture before it ends up getting marketed to white audiences), they wouldnt have rock or country without black culture in America. Black culture in america is specifically always ahead of the curve and the most inventive because their culture was stripped from them during slavery, and so because of that they have historically made sure they excell at creating their own culture to be proud of in order to survive in a country as racist as america, because white supremacy tries to strip all marginalized people of their culture through corporations appropriating it and coopting their culture and marketing it to white people. They tend to target black culture more than anything it seems though. If they can't co-opt it they continuously talk down about it in the media, think of ben Shapiro trying to claim hip hop and rap isnt music, or saying its all about "gangster and hoes", they try to tear down cultures they can't take away. They said the same shit about rock until it became considered "white music" by a lot of Americans.
Succinct. Perfect.
Or they just mean that they don't like changes just to appease a bunch of whiney libtards, stupid.
Private company claims it has personal religious views and bans their insurance from giving birth control... Right Wing celebrates like it is 4th of July
Also, Private Company re-brands a ride at their theme park to have different characters because of image... Right Wing looks for those pitchforks
Checks out
indeed
it is all about control over some different groups of people, namely non white, and women, and throw in the gays also for a bonus.
I live in a tiny farming town in Ne. When I chose to put my daughter on birth control when she was a senior in high school, we had to drive to Omaha to fill the prescription. They wouldn't sell birth control at the local pharmacy! It was against their beliefs!!!!!
@living in a desert Just to clarify, when you say "whites will be a minority", do you mean "Caucasians will no longer make up 51% of the census" or that another demographic will become the most prominent? Who is the second-largest demographic anyway?
again
right wing believes the USA is the “nation” whose God is the Lord
as per Psalm 33:12
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2033%3A12&version=NIV
but nothing is further from the truth
THAT nation is a collection of Christians from every tribe, nation and tongue

Hi Beau! Thanks for existing!!!
Right? Exactly right!!
oh, yeah!
Why are people so angry about this, even though they've done it before? Tower of Terror is now Guardians of the Galaxy themed and I seem to recall an Alien themed one that was rebranded to Lilo and Stitch. There's really no problem with changing it and it shows who the real snowflakes are.
but see none of the those changes effected what they wanted to keep, the racism.
Tower of Terror was just a ride, not a dog whistle they'll miss.
This was my thoughts exactly! They've changed lots of things over the years. It's actually one of the things I love because I only go every 5-10 years, and there's always something new to see lol.
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas obviously they didn't want to keep it or they would 😂

So Disney rebrands and the tea dummies cry out "you're erasing history." Typical.
they should maybe rather worry about the image that is spread around the world about the "average american", e.g. when norwegians who have worked at the epcot center take home stories about all the stupid questions americans ask, revealing the quality of education, and level of intelligence among parts of the american population. questions like:
"are norwegian women pregnant for 12 months, and not nine months, because of the cold?"
@@shoveI I love that sentiment! Reminds me of a verse from an old Robert Earl Keen song, "Swervin' In My Lane"...

I love when Beau talks about princesses. 👑
I love the t-shirts he wears while doing it 😄😂😄
@living in a desert What's not to like? I'm not necessarily a fan but I like them just fine. Why do you ask? (I know that question wasn't directed toward me, but it still applies)
Lost Hero good point!
Marc Ruffalo I know that this is hard for you to understand, but for most women, “Princesses” were our only empowered representation in books and movies. We wanted to be princesses because they had the wealth and support, women with opportunity to make a positive change in the world.
I love when he talks about racists.
The fact that full grown adults are breaking down over a children’s ride is so insane to me. Their children have probably never even SEEN song of the south. I bet they all know Princess Tiana though...
Hell. I’m 55 years old and I’ve never seen Song of the South. Didn’t even realize it existed until I tried to look up the lyrics of Zippity-do-da when I was a preteen.
Most adults have never seen it. I don't think it's available to watch anywhere, I doubt it's ever even been made on DVD. Because Disney realized a long time ago that they don't want any part of that shit.
@@jameshill2450 it was released to DVD in Europe. Nothing special, boring script, weak acting that reeks of actors just trying for a paycheck, eye rollingly saccharine, hasn't aged well by what we demand of movies regardless of its outdated racism. It wouldn't draw a dime today without Zipedee Doo Dah. Only good shots are of the "plantation workers" (sharecroppers instead of slaves) singing Disneyfied spirituals.
I say this as a Disney nerd and a southerner, it's not a hill worth standing on, much less dieing
exactly what i was thinking
I’m 39. I was 15 or 16 when I first rode the ride and never did understand why it was built. I knew about the Song of the South, but there were so many other franchises that could have been made into a critter themed flume ride. And Brer Rabbit didn’t get caught in honey, so it’s as if they already knew it was a bad idea.
One of the grandest moments of my life happened on Splash Mountain. My family and I went to Disneyland when I was about fourteen, and per chance, there was hardly anyone in the park that day. We got onto Splash Mountain and rode it through at least four, maybe as many as seven times in a row without ever getting off. For my family, it was a truly engaging moment--something that bonded us well together.
I have some sentimental attachment to the ride due to the experience with my family--but for the love of God, there is no reason to freak out over changing it. I cherish the hell out of those memories, but they are memories of days past and that is all. If all we do is look behind us, when will we have the chance to look ahead?
Well said!
Sees the title ...
me: what the hell
The sillier the arguments get, the closer you know they are to either just coming out as racists, or abandoning it because they finally saw the light.
Or just irrationally addicted to being angry, whichever shape or form.
Let’s not forget who was getting so affended by surrup bottles and Disney rides.
A national discussion for people who have absolutely nothing better to do with their time.
@tutenkharnage for sure.
And many with no intent to discuss, only shout.
The way you said "Y'all have a good day" sounded an awful lot like "Bless your heart".
This dude's videos are addictive, owing mostly to how interesting his take is on the topics he chooses to discuss
He's deservedly been gaining a lot of viewers lately, too. Educating the world, one click at a time.
OMG Song of the South is from 1949. Kids don't even know of it these days.
I have a cat named Bert. He's named after the actor that played the cowardly lion. Half the time I tell people that I then have to explain who the cowardly lion is. One of the down sides of getting older is having to constantly reevaluate what "common knowledge" is.
I actually saw it when I was a kid. Ahhhhh.....those images of that happy, cheerful slave narrating folk tales to those fresh faced white kids! Wait.....slaves weren't happy? It wasn't all grinning pappy figures narrating brer' rabbit tales to innocent white kids? Color me shocked! (sarcasm here). I didn't like it as a kid when my critical thinking skills were low and I certainly don't see a reason to like it now. Who the hell thinks that that is a good look for America? Ok, I know, the racist do. Who thinks that modern kids would rather see allusions to a film that was outdated and crappy even when it was made, let alone today when there is so much more exciting animation, better coloring, better graphics, better story lines and much more popular shows to watch? No one can seriously think that. Show trailers from Song of the South and The princes and the frog movie and see which the kids pick. I'd be truly shocked if any less than 95% of the kids choose the modern film. It's a good business decision. Racist are out of their ever lovin' minds. But hay, I guess we knew that.
I just watched the movie and didn’t know how stereotypical brer fox and the rest were. I’m surprised it was a green light to make it a ride
J Grey exactly! The ride was built in the late 1980s...one would have expected that Disney would had evolved from that mindset by then. 😩
What’s more is the ride didn’t open until 1989. Like, it’s not even that deep of history.
“And somehow this is an affront to your sensibilities...” 😂😂😂 Preach!
wait, i didnt even realize mc donalds got rid of the clown xD
@Ace why you gotta hate on my boi Ronald like that?
Yeah, me too. Jack in the Box tried to dump the clown once. They then had to completely reverse course and embrace the clown.
@Coconut Pal A bunch of studies came out that basically said "Kids don't actually like clowns, which is probably why they keep getting reimagined as monsters", so McDonalds made a marketing decision to pivot to another symbol that may as well be an emoji.
@Ace 🤣🤣
@Ace Ronald is waaaay nicer, and a better person.
I don’t live in America, but am family, it’s like watching an abused sibling Beau and trying to help on social media cause the abuser has shut the door...
Ditto here.
And daily, weekly and sometimes for months at a time I have to shut the door and walk the hell out of this room over issues just like this. Talking about moving forward and dragging people forward by their ankles, but no I see us getting drug right back into ignorance, the status quo and the new regime of anarchist, anTifa and a new form of the Nazi party, called BLM The alternate universe version of the KKK like two wolves and one sheep voting on what's for dinner.

If this is the best they can come up with to be mad about, they must've ran out of anything legitimate, centuries ago.
02:32 "This is a private company, doing what they feel is best for their customers." Small correction needed: "This is a private company, doing what they feel is best for their shareholders." Which should also tell the racists that they're on the losing side: their views aren't just regressive, they're so unpopular as to be unprofitable.
Precisely. First NASCAR banning the Confederate flag, now Disney re-branding Splash Mountain. Straws in the wind, guys, straws in the wind of commerce. Money talks.
Beau I want to preface this with stating I agree with you.... However, I think that it;s worth noting that Disney hasn't really made much of a turn around in re-branding Splash Mountain with the Princess and the Frog. P. A.T.F. has several overtly racist notions as well. It does pander to a modern demographic in that at least there's a Black princess amid the many racist notions. As I'm writing and listening to myself think, I realize, it's really a thinly veiled egregious way to perpetuate the stereotypes to yet another generation. Given Walt's well documented racism and anti-Semitism it's really no surprise.
Word!
Nothing makes me happier than Beau talking about Disney...
And the far right calls the left snowflakes.....
In all fairness, the far right and the far left are both snowflakes, each keen in taking offense.

@ffairlane57 I think they mean the right wing outrage machine doing their best to get their followers mad about something inconsequential that makes them hate other citizens while the ruling class robs them blind. Just how I read it, anyway.
I applaud Disney for doing this. We love the Princess and the Frog. Such a cool story.
Maybe you should look into the original version.
Lets say it is a bit...different.
And don't tell Disney...or they have to rename that mountain again...😆
One of my favorite Disney movies.
@Lost Hero they rebranded and rewrote a lot of Grimm stories. 😁
Just like the brothers Grimm did them self.
If you ever get the chance read a really old italian version of Snowwhite. Or better, an as old version of Sleeping Beauty.
That sleeping beauty getting raped by the prince and then having to marry him...isn't exactly how brothers Grimm told it...🤷♂️😏
@@samfetter2968 The little mermaid is a body horror tragedy in the original story. But the Disney version is probably one of my favorite movies.
@@rvawildcardwolf2843 amen to both. 😁
Another good example is Cinderella. The Grimm version is also a bit more...grim.😆
The funny thing to me is that i grew up with the Grimm stories, enjoyed the Disney versions...but needed to be in my 40s to actually realize the differences on an concience level.
Tells me i am either getting old...or better.😏🤷♂️
"It's a children's ride" 😂😂😂 the tone you used was perfect, it really illustrated how ridiculous it is to be upset over this. Also Disney will NEVER go away so if some people stop going over this, there will be more to take their place.
good forbid a kiddy ride doesnt promote the song of the south anymore....
@Lost Hero sorry but i dont want women after my booty. Or men.
So, how about no pirates I mean I have to protect my booty from lepurchauns, dragons, now pirates that is asking too much. Fire breathing dragons no problem due to various engineering feets, Lepurchauns while tricky little buggers, they aren't crafty as they think they are. I mean Pirates smell like Seamen and that isn't the worst part.
Yeah don't ask where that came from
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas 😅😅
"song of the south" a movie basically no child has seen (or possibly will ever see). "princess and the frog" a movie currently on disney+.
When does it end? it doesn't! and good!
Song Of The South WAS seen by America's children but back in the day. Those images were literally burned into the psyche's of all children of that era and believe you me, it did and continues to influence racism as well as white so called supremacy and entitlement. That which is and was impressed upon the mind of children is so powerful. In retrospect I see something extremely vile and evil actually, under the surface of all that Disney was and is. Watch this excepted from Song Of The South and tell me if you understand and if I am making any sense. Zippity Do Da..... Indeed! th-cam.com/video/vzf277YVMyg/w-d-xo.html
I'm in my 60's, I saw it at the drive in when I was lots younger. I was an embarrassing t to sit thru. It was a crappy, creepy movie by Disney from when Walt was at the helm. And that man had lots of strange, outdated ideas. The movie was inappropriate in the can..
@@abracadabrais You're a fool if you think Song of the South influenced racism.
@@lindahartman4543 Shows what you know.
Yea I mean honestly why does Disney even have rides that aren’t based on movies like why don’t they just get rid of rides like haunted mansion big thunder mountain space mountain jungle cruise tiki room small world. All of those should be replaced by movie rides. I mean he said it that this will never end sooo. Let’s go find some thing racist about those now.
I love your mindset and the way you break things down, Beau! Thank you.
he’s genius
It never ends with the right wing racists. It’s so exhausting.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes No it doesn't. They'll just go form another secret club with a special handshake and this time they'll probably wear duvet covers instead of sheets.
Disney revamps rides all the time. The Haunted Mansion, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean... The world is diverse. Remember, It’s A Small World, y’all.
Mmmm, not quite the same. Those rides still have the same story themes, premise, etc. as when they opened; they just receive technology upgrades and general refurbishments. This is a complete overhaul/retheming.
@@NOVELBITES Which they did for The old Captain Nemo submarine ride, Alien Encounter became Stitch themed, The Monsters Inc ride at California adventure was a generic Hollywood themed attraction, Supreme Scream became Incredibles themed, and there are plenty more examples throughout Disney theme park history.
@@darrenhendrix2198 Yet all of those theme changes were a complete flop. The originals were always better than what replaced them and FYI, Supreme Scream is at Knott’s, you’re no fan of these parks.
@@Equilibrium-db1yv @Equilibrium1736 I misspoke, I meant California Screamin. Just cause I made a weird typo doesn't mean I'm not a fan of these parks. (Weird mistake though, as I actually don't much care for Knott's).
Ultimately I agree that most of the time I prefer the original, but there are exceptions here and there. I think the Guardians overhaul for Tower of Terror is actual pretty good, and the Incredicoaster is better than the complete lack of theming of the original.
I don't think it's fair to call them all flops. The original Hollywood ride that Monsters Inc replaced was widely considered to be pretty horrible. The new version isn't amazing, but I'd call it an improvement. The Stitch one in my opinion is ok, and mostly I think suffers because they replaced a very different (tonally) experience.
I think it's really easy for bias of the older folks who grew up with these rides the way they were to creep in and taint our view, but I also think that the overhauls can feel a bit hollow sometimes. But hey, I'm one of those folks who grew up regularly going to Disneyland as a kid, so I too have an attachment to those rides and don't really love the idea of them being changed, but also Disney parks aren't just for me and a lot of that stuff is pretty out dated. So, I don't think I have a right to complaint when something many children have never seen is revamped to a more recognizable ip.
Howdy internet people!
Howdy Beau!
Another calm intelligent conversation on hot topic. Have nice day
Beau, you've become part of my daily routine. Always great information and well thought out discussion in your videos. I've been an American History nerd since the late 80s, always trying to absorb more and teach people that we can learn from the mistakes of the past. I saw all of this division and unrest coming 15 years ago. I just wish that everyone could open up their hearts and ears to people like you. You're great at putting things together into a coherent, persuasive argument. Thank you for the steady flow of knowledge!!!
I kinda wanted to hear Beau sing to them, "Do you want to build a straw man?" Folks terrified of Splash Mountain changing are kinda being ridiculous.
do you want to build a straw man that's epic
Damn! Hope no one has done a parody of that. I want to write it. Fits our satire perfectly.

They must also be so incredibly torn up about the myriad changes over the years to Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Submarine Voyage. I mean 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage. I mean Finding Nemo: Submarine Voyage.
Let's all keep moving forward. Even if we have to drag some folks while they are kicking and hollering.
Exactly. I for one need the exercise...
Yeah... didn't like that phrasing by Beau frankly.
The only people being dragged kicking and screaming are the ones who've historically always been dragged kicking and screaming. There's NO WAY the people who wore masks, and body armor and carried their AR-15s to Democratic-led State capitals and prevented the duly elected representatives of their citizens from doing their duty to enact measures to help slow the spread of a global pandemic among it's citizens and hopefully keep their healthcare professionals and hospitals from getting overwhelmed, are going to be "dragged kicking and screaming" anywhere AT ALL.
Why drag them just let them lay there kicking and screaming and just move on without them.
@@paulwalsh2344 I think he was calling them children. Kicking and screaming
And I'm saying they are FAR more dangerous than children. That freedom without responsibility is chaos, which is what happens with children, but shouldn't be the case with adults with weapons.
Tar baby always creeped me out as a kid. I'm glad they're doing something right for once.
When I was a kid, I thought a tar baby was a baby made of tar that wanted to drag me down into the tar and drown me, kinda like pookas (waterhorses) of Celtic legend did. I didn't find out what it really meant til I was a teenager.
@@thehellyousay That's not far off, actually. The tar baby was a trap, and would have been used to kill Brer Rabbit if he hadn't outsmarted Brer Bear.

Wow! That was well said! Thank you!
When I first heard the rebranding, I immediately thought that all the old merch just increased in value, I used to collect beer and soda cans, those constantly restyle and rebrand, I've never been to splash mountain and had no idea of its theme, now I enjoy the rebranding even more, thank you
It’s time to fix the door.
Eh...I don't know about all that. Personally I couldn't give 2 shits about Splash Mountain or Princess and the Frog, but to make a blanket statement about everyone who has a problem with the change being a "racist" is presumptuous and dismissive. There are a lot of changes being made, and while some are "progressive" or at least supposed to be moving American civilization forward, a lot of it is having the exact opposite effect. Also, the double standards are insane. I'll leave this here for a little perspective:
th-cam.com/video/3ekcnXaHJls/w-d-xo.html
How is rebranding that ride progressive or opposite; if we just ignore the racist heragtive of the ride? What else can the theme of this ride mean to people? Sounds like you've fallen victim to incontention bias, that racists instilled in you. Who could possibly be hurt by not having the right to go to 'splash mountain'? Brainwashing sucks, get help.
Edit, pragerU isn't gonna help you understand why people are calling you racists.

I love your videos. I appreciate your straightforward sensibilities that have somehow been lost to many in our country.
Thank you!!
I mean I'll miss Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da Days but I understand the decision and respect it. Plus I support ending Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da Days as statistics show that they have the number one highest suicide rates of the year
Oh, wow! I didn't even remember that's where that song came from until you said that. Now it's in my head, but it has such a happy sound I don't even care. I don't even know anything but the chorus and it seems totally upbeat and positive, so maybe keep the song but lose the movie? When I think of "Song of the South" I always think of the Alabama song which I also like. I think one of the lines in it goes "ain't nobody lookin' back agin", but it seems that some will always look back in favor of the old south, like you said until they die out and newer ideas/traditions take over.
@@rhodawatkins4516 Yeah. It's a nice upbeat song but it's relation to the film tarnishes it. I think Dumbo mightq have an issue too.
😀
The fact that anyone is upset by this rebranding is an affront to my sensibilities....
Now that 5 seconds have gone by I'm over it and ready to move on to more important things.
Thanks boo we need more people like you and honestly that can see the forest before the trees
👋🏽Add: Having a better day after this. Now back to unpacking. Toodles!
👋🏼
briansmutti 🙂
dont get lost in the box fort you will make when you get bored.
Dùbhghlas MacDùbhghlas 😀The kids had a grand time playing with the boxes. I on the other hand am specifically enjoying reducing the stack inside and increasing the empties in the garage.
I had this same discussion with my mother-in-law about Aunt Jemima.
Hey Beau 🤙🏼 Thanks for the update! Hard to keep up on all of the injustice!! 😝
Excellent words, as always!! Thank You.
I think some of it is people feel sad when something from their past changes. But you're an adult now, get over it. Eventually it all disappears anyways.
😎
Amen Thank you. 5 years in the future I hope I have grown for the better. I want to be on the right side of history.
But I can still karaoke sing Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, can't I?
It's about flippin' time.
Throughout history, most people have had to be dragged kicking and screaming into a better future.
As good of an example as any of why I avoid the mainstream media and the so called national conversation at all costs (except for your contribution to it of course, Beau).
If the Disney Ride 'the Matterhorn' was turned into 'Frozen the Ride' it would not be a national issue.
They took away fan favorite, Malestrom (an original ride based on Scandinavian folklore/imagery) and Replaced it with Frozen.
The only people who cared were ride nerds.
@@rvawildcardwolf2843 Yeah..? Like Disney Park fans? How weird that people are actual fans of parks, dude. What are you talking about?
imo
Good vid.
People care about this because-aside from the perceived racial issues-as long as they focus on crap like this they don't have to think about their own obvious and plentiful shortcomings.
imo
You NAILED it! They lack the testicular or intestinal fortitude to take a good long hard look at themselves in their own mirror. It's SO much easier to project their own failures onto others.
I call that the ‘other woman syndrome’. It’s much easier to focus on the hussy who wrecked your home than the husband who cheated and betrayed your trust. 🤷🏽♂️
imagine how bitter conservatives will be when their children beg them to go on the princess bayou log ride!
I can’t see a lot of little boys being that excited to go on a process and the frog ride expecialy if the main characters aren’t even going to be frogs anymore.
What I love about Beau is that he's often really, obviously angry but he still doesn't resort to insults and such
They can do away with the Country Bears while they're at it!
I mean yeah, but only because they're horrifying lol
Amen!!! Love listening to you.
Somehow this was the first I heard of this. I was expecting a video about the new supreme court ruling on immigration.
What did we miss there?
It's like saying sorry after you are forced to.
“you’re the reason they cant just get over it.” HOLY SHIT THANK U!!!!
My kids were confused by it when I explained the story behind it. They wondered why it hadn't already been changed when Princess and the Frog was released before my kids were born. So, please & thank you with the rebrand.
... People consumed by fear seek to protect themselves by scapegoating their chosen antagonists.
By lashing out against perceived threats with hatred, intimidation & violence.
Willful ignorance is generational in many instances. But regardless, it's always a choice.
I'm an Ol' white guy living in the south. Much to be learned from Beau's videos. The man is far more than a journalist. Beau is a public servant imo, in the very best sense of that term.
My thanks to him & everyone participating on this channel. Yes, everyone, all inclusive.
Nuff said.
"YOU'RE the reason THEY can't get over IT!" Well, that just about says it all, now doesn't it?
Beau, you are awesome. Thank you.
If Disney was closing down Space Mountain, then we would have a real problem
Aktually, the removal of the clown from the McDonalds box caused outrage so great it actually tore a hole in the space time continuum
Great points being made! Keep speaking the truth!
Symptoms of the issues that are real.
If we can keep having sane conversations we can move forward.
