Interesting. If I had the time and discipline I'd research and write on the revelation you revealed to me. I think the title of the book would be: "Shit. We weren't meant to live in cities."

Dang, a better title would be: Proposed law in Kentucky would make posting personal identifiable information of public officials illegal

4 legs good. 2 legs better. Everyone has rights. Some people just have more and better rights than others. I understand the reasoning, protecting government officials from mad mobs. Names should be fine, addresses maybe not. But then it sho
