Incandescence

Hey xantham, You'll have to accept this as a partial payment for all your comments on my poems. I hope it buys me some more time. :) The first piece ...

In some states, girls don't have to tell their parents they're getting an abortion. There's no difference here. You're trying to say that because anorexia is a disease, we should ...
