Not before time, the sight of people crying in public over the passage of their leader to the utopia promised by him smacks of hypocracy.

Kind of creepy how it was roughly the same time that some stations announced that he'd died yesterday...
so where do you think the next pope will be from? Another Polish one, or a German? Or does anyone know which country has had the least popes?
Just curious

I must say, you do not see beyond your nose. There is more to life than WAKE UP, JOB,SLEEP; WAKE UP, JOB, SLEEP. Find out. I don't care what you discover, but find out. The "utopia" was NOT promised by him or else it would end with him.
