I used to hate to see African judges wearing curly white wigs , it used to bug me to death. Blacks swallowed too much from Britain , way too much.

Is God real? I think so , I cast my vote for his existence , rather than against it. People are just frustrated that he hasn't done enough in their eyes to reveal himself. And I understand that.

But he has to have a good reason, I just don't know it.

If primordial man was conscious he would have developed , performed , and created much better and quicker. That's what I believe. But they peaked at a primordial level then died out. Muck like apes, showing only high instinct.
