You are despondent. The bath tub and some razors are calling your name. Buck up, Bunky. You are not the first to ever get …
The 13 yr old girl who sends her own naked photo gets her cell privileges taken and throws a fit. Other 13 year olds sext her nude photos virally and maliciously say they “didn’t know it was wrong” and get off with a hand slap. Does anyone but me want to fine all the PARENTS for child neglect, gross stupidity and just bad parenting?
NOTE: I wrote the original “Ten Reasons Why A Zombie Apocalypse Would Be A Good Thing!” back in 2013. No, I was not doing drugs (ya got any?) No. I am not advocating we release a government-created virulent pathogen into the drinking reservoirs of major cities with mechanisms for entering their host and evading immediate …
