Ross E Fortune LombardiPublished 3 years ago in The SwampTo Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
Many years ago, before either you or your husband were born, I joined the British Army and served as an officer in the same regiment as Prince William and the Duke of Sussex. Having spent four years on the margins of that social set, I believe every word you have said about their bigotry and rudeness. They are courtiers and exclusive access to royalty is often their only capital, so they have become very practiced at repulsing newcomers. Children don´t grow up making spiteful, racist remarks, such as were directed at you, rather this is the product of a culture which holds all “others” in contempt.

The United Kingdom of Britain is on its way to being a failed state. Britain has left the European Union, The Scots are clamouring for independence, despite the current internecine warfare being waged between the leading lights of Scottish nationalism and a united Ireland seems a distinct possibility.
Adebayo AdeniranPublished 3 years ago in The SwampBipartisanship Shouldn't Be The Goal!
Lately it feels as if the political campfire has gotten out of control, the Capitol is on fire, and amid the chaos and emergencies everywhere, the media is looking for anyone singing a few bars of Kumbaya for a sign that we’re okay. Well, it’s not okay. Look over there, Senator Cruz’s pants are on fire.

By way of preamble, I'd like to point out that this piece is motivated by the invasion of the Capitol building by right-wing protestors while Congress was in the process of certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Kevin Erazo CastilloPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Unpopular Opinion
Our planet is overpopulated... No one ever argues with me on that statement. If I ask why overpopulation is a problem, someone will usually mention the fact that there are limited resources on the planet and it is becoming harder and harder to provide enough of these resources to allow future generations to live comfortable lives. Others may mention displacement and mass extinction of animals across the globe due to deforestation, expansion of cities and human industrialization. Both are very good points.

Michael J. HarrisPublished 3 years ago in The SwampLife Is Hard: Deal With It!
Let the hate comments begin! If there is something about the older generations I envy, it is the determination they possessed. A long time ago, this nation; if not the entire Western World, was comprised of strong people. Back then people had courage, grit, and determination. Sure, life was hard, but the mentality was to press on. Whenever adversity arose, people stood up to the challenge. Such moments of hardship were seen as an opportunity to shine.

Everybody is entailed to their own opinions about guns and rightfully so. If if it is in the right hands, hopefully that person will act responsible with it.
