politics, wars, markets, newspapers, schools, the mayor and councils, banks, tariffs,
steamships, factories, stocks, stores, real estate and personal estate." Walt Whitman

If you ever wondered who paints the post boxes red, Here's yer man. He is in charge of painting about a thousand of these, all over the South Side of Glasgow. It's a wonder he gets anything done, people keep going up and talking to him. (Like me)

Warning beware of dangerous minorities
They come into our country through false pretences and steal our jobs. They create disruptions in our communities. They steal our nursery places. They cause and make us work for less wages. They scare us with their fundamentalist religion. They spread terrorism and infiltrate our media. They do not pay taxes. They do not respect our values, or our democracy. They want to take over our country. They operate outside the law. They are the most dangerous minority group in the world. Beware the dark world of the terrorist.
