    Poll: Multiple Impairments?

    Goju - Why is it when anyone posts anything longer than a few sentences, you refuse to read it?

    The Self Evident Truths

    True. There are worse but, the US markets itself to the world as "the land of the free." A place where every person has their individual right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
