However, I’ve just come across a great article, fully cited, on the 17th Amendment and the damage it [...]

I keep looking for a place to fit where I can speak my mind,
I’ve been trying hard to find people that I won’t leave behind,
They say I got brains, but they ain’t doing me no good,

I got something good goin’ for myself
But what goes [...]

“So would you run if I told you I love you,
would you run if I asked you to stay?
“Would you cry if I said that I missed you?
