Sadly, I declined my 40th high school anniversary. It's just another grave disappointment of modern society that I am compelled to avoid the mess that used to be my home. Cars and billionaires are something I try to avoid. And my town is nothing but that. I love what you're doing. But I also feel as if I've been given something very special, as well as the feeling that there is time left to accomplish something. I've been all alone until now. So we've arranged marches, and debates. We had Grayson and Jolly on the other night, and it was a rocking debate. A quiet set with no audience, and Cenk Ungyur moderating. It really was revealing. I didn't know Grayson was such a solid moral progressive. He has gotten a lot of negative response on this forum.

OK, time for the outhouse demolition. To the outhouse!
