Quoted by@BremenBod 3/ Can we afford niceties at this point? No one should have the ability to blow the world to pieces, least of all tails being wagged by a 'de facto' global death cult. Faith, by itself, without action, is dead, as will we be, shortly, given current trends. Intervention, yes.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @johnrobb @BenjaminRVA Well, whaddaya know.
