7. Can't Argue With This, But The Children DO

Sun Dec 7, 2014, 10:56 AM

Dec 2014

live in homes of adults who have their own mindset. I HAVE been able to push many to vote and give some reasons why, but it's just baby steps. Gotta keep working, I KNOW! I'm addicted to "more information" can't run away from it, believe me I tried. Lasted about a week once! LOL!
