"I grew up poor and due to where I lived and the environment in which I lived, I had some things stacked against me. It would have been easy to go down the road to crime and drug addiction like a lot of kids I knew. " Then you and I have more in common than most would think. J - The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
