“How do you untell something? You can't. You can't put words back in your mouth. What you can do, is spread false gossip ... so people think that everything that's been said is untrue.

If someone is serious about writing, then they will sit down every day and put some words down on paper.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWritingMayBookSecretSeriousPaper Author:Michael Scott

And I think it's because they see me as one of them. But ... cooler and with my life put together a little bit more. If a baby were president, there would be no taxes. There would be no war. There would be no ... government, and ... things could get terrible.
