For over seventy years, people have been driving out in their RVs to a remote desert area near the city of Yuma, in the US state of Arizona, to write their names and leave messages on the desert floor. Unlike regular graffiti that is hurtful to the environment, at Valley of Names messages are spelled out by carefully arranging rocks and small boulders in the hard-packed white sand – http://tinyurl.com/ycj6dcne

hhmmm, perhaps it’s just me but while this graffiti is ‘not hurtful to the environment’, to me it’s an act of vandalism that mars the natural beauty of the area
all these calls for ‘thoughts and prayers’ we keep hearing from ‘pious’ politicians in the pay of the NRA don’t seem to be doing much to curb the slaughter and injury of america’s schoolkids and teachers – http://tinyurl.com/y8yflw3j
more americans (on average) are killed each year by lawnmowers than by islamic terrorists – http://tinyurl.com/ychqllgm
this statistic has been acclaimed the International Statistic of the Year by the Royal Statistical Society in London – mind you, more americans (on average) are killed each year by armed toddlers or by falling out of bed than are killed by islamic terrorists
rather than ban Muslim immigrants to the US then, if trump wants to safeguard american lives he would do better to round up and intern all lawnmowers, enact stricter gun laws to prevent toddlers getting their hands on guns, and require all beds in the USA to be fitted with guard rails
for those concerned by the rise of white supremacist hate groups in the USA in recent times, a reminder that there has always been substantial support amongst a section of americans for the views these groups espouse . . .
