One thing no one has explained is why women's rights should vary by state, while men keep the same rights across the entire country, no matter where they live. Don't Americans have equal protection under the 14th Amendment? landman.anne

I’m watching the Harry Potter baking championship, and I’m a big fan of Elizabeth who I’ve seen on other shows. It’s interesting how her partner on the show Juan used to work for one of the other bakers Chris. He seems a little jealous every time Elizabeth and Juan do well.
