Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That's scary. Hope he's OK.

I did google. I still don't believe you. The only connections between Gates and the Georgia Guidestones are the incoherent mutterings of people that grossly misinterpreted Gates' statement, just as you have. I would imagine that that's where you initially came across that Gates discussion and, instead of listening and understanding what was being discussed, you decided to just run with the conspiracy crap. For someone so strongly opinionated, you show an alarming inability to think for yourself when it comes to certain topics. Even worse, you're given to parroting and spreading this foul manure.

Sorry to hear it, I would be really cautious - one of the things about most animals is they will often bear more pain than we will, without complaint; this sometimes makes it hard to really get a handle on what they're going through. Best of luck.
