The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

Here’s the thing;
CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!
This statement has greater resonance…and it is factually more accurate.
It’s about time someone did this. We need more of it!
In China, year of the rat.
Kinda appropriate:)
Great billboard!
Good sign and it should be the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we look at before we turn in at night but every American I know appears to have already largely forgotten this attack and they’re just happy to be walking around in the glow of their newly acquired release from lockdown…er, freedom.
I’ll wager that people will drive by that sign every day on the way to Walmart or Target and think, “yeah, ain’t that the truth” and then they’ll load up their shopping carts with shit from China and never give it a second thought.
We need one of them in Arizona.
In 2001 the US gov’t did NOT do it’s most important job and thousands of people in the US and all over the world died as a result.
20 years later, again, the US gov’t did NOT do it’s most important job and thousands of people in the US died.
When is enough, enough?
Hey, I live about an hour away from Delmont! Go PA!
CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!
Doesn’t really make you pat your foot, does it?
ghostsniper:
In 2001, the US government failed TWICE.
Once by letting the 9/11 attack happen. And again, once having allowed that, by not responding appropriately as soon as it was known who the perps were. Which I believe was vey quickly indeed.
Having established that, there should have been two fresh Trinitite deposits in Saudi Arabia.
Neither phrases causes me to tap my foot.
However, as I said; “CCP Lied and People Died All Over the World!”, is more accurate and I believe carries greater gravitas.
Saying, “China Lied and Americans Died”, is far too narrow an indictment. So much so that it sounds like a fucking political ad and thus, takes away from the seriousness of a Global Pandemic.
Kevin, You can always purchase an ad anywhere you like and put what you think is relevant on it. This ad is specifically for America. Joe Krill
Thanks Joe!
