How Random is that?

What's changed? Great things happen elsewhere while Salisbury burns, just like now?

And they rebuilt because of why?

They rebuilt because there's no life west of the Chesapeake bay

Actually, 12:21 you have that completely opposite.

This town, this entire peninsula, is crap. There is nothing here. There never has been anything here. There never will be anything here. Ooh a Checkers! Ooh a Sonic!! Hey, more and more minimum-wage-go-nowhere-no-hope-or-future-for-anyone-jobs!

If you are over 60, this place is nirvana. If you have hopes, or dreams, or want something for yourself and your family, get the hell out of here and never ever return.

The Statue of Liberty was originally intended to commemorate our freedom, *not* to celebrate mass immigration and the "diversity" (read: crime, poverty, and socialism) that comes with it.

That poem we're all familiar with, "Give me your tired, your poor, etc" was written by notorious communist activist Emma Lazarus, and added almost 20 years later, in 1903.

I have never heard the tale that Emma Lazarus was a communist. I know she started the movement that later became Zionism, the movement to start a Jewish state, but communist??? Never heard that one. In case you are interested here is the poem:

The Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

On the way out Freddie-boy. Don't you fret yourself, ya-hear?

However, I must make a correction to my previous statement. Salisbury and the Delmarva Peninsula is a great place to live if you have been diagnosed with only one year to live, because each day here is a freaking eternity.

Salisbury should have had the fire boat back then.
