    Trying not to violate TOS here, I apologize in advance: This poster has tried to minimize my experiences on another thread about gun control; he attempted to minimize my experience as a gun violence...
  6. To add to Mr. Murse's post: once you get the habit of learning to "cluster" your assessment, your time will be less; for example, when you are listening to the quality of a heart beat, you can count...

    JWG223 is "afflicted" with white privilege; know it and just keep it moving; you're not going to change this poster's mind; this is imbedded into this person and your response is not going to change...
