Rise Above, We're Gonna Rise Above

About Me

Like many others - tired of the twisted ways this system is trying to work...A change is always possible, if you don't believe in it - then mate, goodbye, get a gun and shoot yourself. Your beloved leaders will thank you for not being the sand grain in the cogs of the machine. Limoges Punx infos !..

Angels with dirty faces...wait, add this : demons with lovely faces !
