Brockhoeft, Beseda and Bray A trio who had their own way. Each had his very own day In the light when the feds came down. Caught ’em after chasin’ ’em around. Well, you could call them the Triple Bs Setting “clinics” on fire to save babies. Call them whatever you choose; They got nothin’ to […]

Forty years ago we didn’t want any! Hard to think on it now with plenty, And yet the start is always with that one And she did bring lots of fun Breaking that ice and leading the way For all to follow in her sway. Yes, there is that influence, good or bad, And it […]

Depopulation – like other things – happens. The circumstances may be good or bad. There are wars and diseases and personal reproductive restraints which are in play in the control of population or – we may say – the actual depopulation of the earth’s premier creature.
