The idea that our inborn predispositions dictate how we live our lives was once seen as antiquated and even reactionary. No more.
One afternoon not long ago, my body mocked my pretensions, toppled my carefully constructed persona, and forced me to rethink who I am.

It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -
