Comments
The number of deaths from alcohol, drugs and suicide in 2017 hit the highest level since federal data collection started in 1999. People, being self serving in nature, look for whatever will comfort self, or help self find contentment. Self will never find total content, never find that total satisfaction, here under the sun.
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
You see folks, this sphere we call earth, is just a temporary stop down that road to eternity.
God Bless this event and the organizers.
