Censuring. It's about Decency, Truth, and Freedom.

Thank you, Mr. Ken Vardon, for this site, for APFN, for this "Galactic Way Station", where Warriors in Service to the One God meet and aspire, meet and laugh, meet and have a Hiney, that's a Heinegen, Gentleman!

Concerning AZCowboy, I have received the support of a few APFN contributors, and I am very thankful for that. I question myself, my actions, and evaluate feedback. But leaders, and we are all leaders, latent or active, don't let the slings and arrows stop them.

I remember listening to Willie Whitefeather a few years ago. Willie is a Native Cherokee American who works with children. He travels sometimes, speaking to groups, sharing his wisdom. In the speech I listened to Willie said that words can harm, they can damage people. He said that one must be careful about what one says.

Willie is so right. It takes a strong person to fend off, to shield themselves from the words of another. Yes, the old saying is true, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never harm me." But, I add, not if you don't let them.

Certainly the words we receive daily from our media harm us, divide us, and cause continuning suffering.

This is why I confronted, with the support of others, AZCowboy, who is a microcosm of our problems, for his words on this important site. He was censured once, and the second censure may have just gone into effect. Gentleman, the names he called me! Enough to melt your ear wax, I tell ya. Why, you'd think I'd questioned his manhood, or degraded His Mother, neither of which happened.

As I understand an APFN censure, the censured's Message Title is still shown, but you can't read it when you click on the censured's post.

Today, evil is all about us. In Washington, D.C., in our State Capitols, at City Hall, on your block, and even in your home, internet included, if YOU ALLOW IT. It's been said that the price of freedom is eternal viligance.

Willie Whitefeather said that to clean up society you need three things...Soap, and water...and Agitation! Jesus was the world's greatest agitatot, and He said to us, you and me brother, you and me sister, "What I have done ye shall do and even greater things", and I got goose bumps typing those words!

Let's all work together to rid APFN, our communities, our country, and our world of the Varmints. Varmints are always welcome if the leave their Varmint outfit at the door.

God Bless Us Everyone!
