We're all the same, aren't we?

 We might be, but people on the correct (right) side of issues don't burn shit down as a protest... 
At least not that I know of...
 
Isn't it fascinating that the left - the tree-hugging, peace and love left - is as violent and disruptive as they are? 
The Madison headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, an anti-abortion group, was reportedly set on fire late Saturday night or early Sunday morning after vandals threw what is believed to be at least one Molotov cocktail at the building.
Two staffers returned to the building for work mid-Sunday morning when they found the windows on one side of the office were shattered while burned books were scattered across the office. 

Law enforcement said the building was hit with a Molotov cocktail, which landed inside the building but did not ignite. Law enforcement believes that a separate fire was started due to the Molotov cocktail not igniting. Graffiti was spray-painted on the exterior walls.

This year, Sloppy Joe’s Bar is celebrating 85 years of doing business 
at 201 Duval St., where it anchors a corner at Greene Street and each year hosts a contest to find someone with the beard and the bulk to double as Ernest Hemingway. “We see our T-shirts around the world,” said Donna Edwards, the bar’s brand manager.
Sloppy Joe’s serves crowds of tourists daily, but it has held onto its homespun charm. Locals still show up to knock back a few, and several people have worked there for decades.
“They become family the day they start work,” Edwards said. “Our longest running server has been there 42 years.” One manager just marked 35 years with the bar. Many regulars have their favorite bartender or server. Musician Brian Roberts, who has played Sloppy Joe’s since 2000, said customers will wait so they can sit in their favorite server’s section.
“People come to see them,” Roberts said. “The staff has followings.” Hemingway, of course, held up part of the bar in the 1930s, as a close friend with the man who started it all, Joe Russell, a boat captain who was also a bootlegger before he turned legit with his own bar. The story of Russell and Sloppy Joe’s goes back to Dec. 5, 1933 — the same day Prohibition was repealed — when it was on Greene Street, which is now Captain Tony’s Saloon, another heavy hitter in the Key West bar scene.

 If the weather is clear, skywatchers across most of the Americas, Europe and Africa will have a view of one of nature's most beautiful spectacles: a total eclipse of the moon. 
Unlike a total eclipse of the sun, which often requires a long journey to the path of totality, eclipses of the moon can usually be observed from your own backyard. The passage of the full moon through Earth's shadow is equally visible from all places within the hemisphere

Honest to god - WTF is happening to this country?
This is what somebody found in the bathroom 
of the blood lab in his local hospital:
 
... 

An Italian spaghetti house and a German health food 
store next to each other on 86th St. in New York, 
Jan. 22, 1942. Twenty cents for dinner. I got even 
money Nick & Joe were brothers...

Sinn Féin hailed its first victory in a Northern Ireland 
assembly election as a defining moment for the British-controlled region and called for a debate on a united Ireland.
The party’s president, Mary Lou McDonald, had a simple message for unionists on Saturday, telling them: “Don’t be scared, the future is bright for us all.”
The party has deliberately played down its long-term goal for a united Ireland, but unionists will have been spooked by previous statements that they would like to see a border poll on Irish unification within five to 10 years.

  1. One of the reasons is that many people on both sides of the border do not wish to see around 1 million pissed-off Protestants recreating throughout Ireland what the Catholics did in Northern Ireland during the 1960s and 1970s.
