I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.

Why can't people just say they were moved? Why do they have to say it's sappy?

I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

A good leader needs to know how to follow.
