But I know a lot about dinosaurs.
Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?
But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?
Lets get a little perspective.

Haven't been around much. Overwhelmed with life at the moment, but I did want to pop in and let you know that I have been quite busy setting up a new store. Some of my new offerings are these nifty wrapping papers as well as skirts, dresses, and more.

This is the big one for me. If you absolutely cannot afford the book, GO TO THE LIBRARY. You still get it for free, but in a way that still *matters* to publishers. The libraries are one of the few socialist projects we still have. USE THEM.
And the thing is, man, libraries exist.

I just went on your website senator and I can't find a single thing on there about how troops can decide if an order is illegal and how you will help them if they decide such a thing.
Maybe work on that before you do the talk show circuit?
