I loved the Girl band pic, Belong to what… all groups are alike, there may be one out there that is not interested in power, control greed. I HAVE BEEN A DEM. A REP. AN INDEP, AND SO MANY OTHER GROUPS AND IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK THAN THEIRS THEN YOU WILL NEVER BELONG. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF SEEING THROUGH ALL THE BS. I AM CONTENT IN BEING A LONER. LOOKING AT THE WORLD AS IT IS , IHAVE FOUND THAT IT IS EASIER TO SEE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE AND LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE NO MATTER HOW DIFERENT OR WEIRD THEY MAY SEEM.
