Good morning Paul. It does not take a lot of pondering to get this message. It is immediate and yet so few of the good do anything about it. Enjoy your day.

I agree with that and believe that everyone should be held accountable for their actions. It frustrates me to see people being allowed to do bad things over and over again.

Good morning Paul,

It is always the right time to do something right and that is speaking up about the things which are wrong. We should never be silent about that. Great photo of the sky.

Those words are so true. I think we have far too many examples of it lately. Far too many are becoming complicit into ill deeds by their silence, or their association with.
