Why do I support BS?

I'm a 60 yr old baby boomer (whatever the heck that means) and I've seen it all. I know what's up. I know the sickness and I know the cure. Simple as that.

Love to all in making a thoughtful decision. E. S. E. Dump

I know you were using his initials but I just had to say it as a Texan. This song by the Chad Mitchell Trio about the late Billie Sol Estes a grifter of some renown says it all. Here's the pertinent line:

Whose initials are emblazed on our hearts:
B.
S.

So as the saying goes "it takes one to know one." There ain't no bs in Bernie.

We survived Reagan but things have never been the same.
