''If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off''   Ok, to ease my own heavy guilt for my current actions and attitudes, I confess. Sometimes I rant and rave. But in my own defense, sometimes too, I just can't seem to help it. As it seems to me, the older I get the more passionately opinionated I get.
