Everyone wants their kid to stand out ...

Ciniful @Ciniful (1587) • Canada 22 Jul 08

You're the lawmaker ... now what?

Ciniful @Ciniful (1587) • Canada 12 Nov 07

I'm sure there are some laws that you don't agree with, and some you find absolutely ridiculous. I'm not talking about the outdated laws, like no tying your donkey to a tree on Sunday in Nebraska type of things, but current active...

Go back in time ....

Ciniful @Ciniful (1587) • Canada 12 Nov 07

Go back in time to when you were 10 or 11 years old. Remember how we all had lists of all the things we wanted to do, what we wanted to be? Remember your goals and dreams from when you were an idealistic kid. Are you where you...
