- Why change. I hate people who are cowards until they know they can
- beat you (such as people who wait until you turn your back, etc.). If you
- don't talk back now, don't talk back ever. Your best asset would be to
- not let MA change you really--kinda like letting all those assholes change
- you (if you like inferring things into life) in a way you didn't control.
- Well, everytime I post to this group I get wordy, so I'll stop here.
