68. It's About A Cause Not A Candidate
Wed May 25, 2016, 05:22 AM
May 2016

If it makes you happier seeing me unsatisfied with the state of our governing then shout it out and jump for joy. I haven't been content with our government since I was blind, deaf and dumb as a child who believed what I was told. When I grew up and woke up its ok because it's what keeps some of us fighting for change, for equality and against war.
