They Can’t Steal Change
We are being pick-pocketed by our government as well as our society in general, and guess what; we don’t give a shit. They educate us to be a mindless mass of people that are happy being given a number instead of a name and then they proceed to do all the David Copperfield smoke … [Read more...]
The Excuses Runneth Over!
