Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship.
Others have their family;
but to a solitary and an exile,
his friends are everything.

As a libertarian, I'm sympathetic to the goal of limiting expenditures to self-defense. However, you're engaging in crackpot conspiracies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 9, 2017
You've got to be kidding me with these lunatic rants. This country imposes nearly $2 trillion/year in regulations & you think it's corps?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) September 9, 2017
