Phil sent an e-mail to Clark Kent asking him the same 2 questions on the BC and Ontario Sales.
Could you please advise which horses in this sale were purchased by Albertans.
Could you please advise how many of these HRA expects to race in Alberta.
Phil’s still waiting for an answer to the last question he asked:
Why are Century Mile and Downs not listed in the tracks while Hastings and Assiniboia Downs are.
Phil has a question:
Do you think that gazing out a window will get the answers.
Try praying differently, and see what happens: Instead of asking for ‘a way to sleep with her,’ try asking for ‘a way to stop desiring to sleep with her.’ Instead of ‘a way to get rid of him,’ try asking for ‘a way to not crave his demise.’ Instead of ‘a way to not lose my child,’ try asking for ‘a way to lose my fear of it.

Whenever someone has done wrong by you, immediately consider what notion of good or evil they had in doing it. For when you see that, you’ll feel compassion, instead of astonishment or rage.

Phil has a questioning:
Which is cheaper:
A trial, all the appeals and up to 17 years of housing and meals or a missile to shoot down a plane.
Do those fucking assholes realize just how lucky they are to still be alive today.
Do you think that the obese orange oblong gives one hoot about what’s happening to his foot soldiers.
Do the Proud Boys celebrate Pride.
There’s no difference between one’s killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It’s exactly the same thing, or even worse.

“I thought it was indicative of the times that we live in,” Smith said. “People are looking for an excuse to b—- and moan, and so they’re going to have that kind of attitude, and they’re going to feel that way. I didn’t say anything bad about Rihanna. I wouldn’t. I know she’s fantastic. I know she’s phenomenal.
“What’s the problem? I can’t be a fan of a particular artist? That’s what seemed so distorted and utterly ridiculous. But it was a fresh reminder of the times that we’re living in, the high level of sensitivity and how either you have to watch every little thing you say, or most of the time, you simply can’t give a damn about the backlash.”

Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
