Just like quality education for everyone benefits the whole society. But it does make individuals harder to control, so they will do all they can to block it.

My dad told me he thought a lady's purple hair was offensive, just b roll on the news. When I asked why he said natural hair colors were more attractive. I said her hair had nothing to do with him and he could find her unattractive without getting offended. I'm totally gonna visit with purple hair.

Happy Caturday to my baby while I'm on the road without her. Yesterday she accidentally flushed the toilet while fighting with the shower curtain, but she didn't know how she did it so she looked at me like the toilet was haunted.
