You know the reason that God is going to send a bad destructed on this world is because they tuck prayer out of school also the 10 commandment so the childrens gone wild on dope and they bring gun to school that terrible to talk about so people better start prayer before ever thing happen and it going to happen but people wont believe it but they will when it hit them it on the TV news.


September 10, 1998: Look at this: what the big singing star Pat Boone had to say about the reason kids are killing kids in school is because there is so much killing on the TV and that is the real reason.

This is from the Hima News, and also Cornbread said he like to readed the Hima News.
