There was recently a Provincial Election in the part of Canada where I live, and there's a Federal Election coming up in about a year.
With the brouhaha going on in the world these days about politics and the divisions between many people that are resulting from it, I ...

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 17, 2018 LISTEN!

Drawing the Line
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 14, 2018
