I Wish People Would Just Shut Up and Do Something
I hear a lot of people complaining about things amongst their peers. This is OK, if it’s just an observation, and you move on.

Selfish At Death

I’m watching the news report about the Executive Director of METRA who killed himself by throwing himself in front of a moving train. That was so selfish. Everyone who witnessed that incident are now affected by this…
