Somethings are worth sacrificing one's life for.

But she clearly picked the wrong side.

@sykopath66190 When I read your comment (in my inbox today) I thought to myself, "What in the...?" It reads very much like an entry I wrote last spring for the column I had in my college newspaper. But to realize that it was you speaking the truth from your heart tells volumes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
