Almost all of the best ones get involved that way! Stumbling ass backwards into it is the best way.

Hmm. Yeah I'd be cautious about that if it were me. I think you have to be a grown man before you can be accused of mansplaining.

People yearn to be the first to pose the "Next Big Radical Question TM" of the day. These annoyingly tend to multiply when uncertainty is on the horizon, but are often ill-conceived, groundless, and lacking in empathy or understanding of long term dynamics. Go outside and touch grass.

A doctor at a Catholic hospital nearly murdered my grandmother for the crime of suffering a late term miscarriage.
