To live by the Sword. If one lives by the sword--- If one speaks in a tone of violence--- If one encourages use of weapons--- If one frivolously calls demeaning names--- If one denies facts and truths--- If one uses the religious for personal gain--- If one uses curtailment of women's health for political gain--- If one aspires to govern with absolute power--- If one proposes to dismantle a democratic government--- Will our free lifestyle with a democratic way of life Metamorphose, by definition, to a state of hemorrhage and desiccation? Aura is created around and by one. Frank Maurer 13 July 2024. 1800 Hours.
