Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

You are on a roll today. I hope you get that law changed for all of us. Rich people always enjoy their wealth, but some of them pretend not to so the rest of us won’t kill them.

No. WordPress isn’t working well, won’t open pages, crashes regularly, and I feel I’ve done everything I wanted to with this blog. More bored than burnout.
