About the gods, I cannot say either that they are or that they are not, nor how they are constituted in shape. There is so much that prevents knowledge of this kind: the unclarity of the subject and the shortness of human life.”

Mike says
If you do not like Florida then move out!!!!!!!!!
Sherry says
@ Mike. . . “I” do not like what the far right governor, and the fear and hate cult, is doing to the state I was born and raise in. My ancestors came to this region of America in the 16 hundreds. You came here when? Why do you think you are entitled to tell anyone to leave Florida???
“I” have every right to be here, and to speak out against ignorance, racism, dishonesty, the insurrection, inequality, homophobia, xenophobia, Qanon Crazies, banning books, fetus zealots who do not support children, trumpism, the “Big Lie”, corruption, and anything else I #$%^ well please.
While I do not think “everyone” in Florida is stupid. . . obviously too many Floridians who mindlessly support “trumpism” and desantis apparently just may be currently stupid in their “non-thinking” support of horrific actors who are hell bent on destroying our entire democracy!
Stephen says
Well said Sherry.

Why can’t you seem to find any political humor from both sides. Your political agenda is too obvious.
Sherry says
If you don’t like the political stance of Flaglerlive why don’t “you” simply stick to reading what fits with “your” agenda. It’s just that easy!
