Surprised?
I'm reminded of what Willie Sutton said when he was asked why he robs banks: "Because that's where the money is."

This sounds nice. Especially these days, using social media to talk about what you like is not as common as it should be.
You know what, I'm in.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
