    If this doesn't work try dancing, if hollywood movies have taught me anything, it's dancing is a great way out of poverty.

    Fuck building a safe society free of gun violence and murder, just dance.

    Hey pal, you can't be a freeman if you believe in one unknown god. You're griped yourself specially in the hands of your own imaginary unknown god. Then how can you be a free man? I too have mine,but I don't use that one in these days..
