Old-School Conservative. I used to be a republican, now I'm a hippie. Still trying to get my picture on The Rolling Stone.
Learned the hard way that "upgrading" to a more expensive piece of audio equipment with much better specs, doesn't bring the joy that I thought it would. In fact, I liked to older equipment better, so I guess I'll be downgrading back to what I used to have here in the near future? (lol)

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
