Throughout my journey I have found that the majority of people do not love themselves. It’s a question people don’t ask themselves but when asked it’s an easy “no” with their head hung low.

Where do YOU stand?

I stand against any protest that is violent no matter the cause. It seems we as a country have been walking backwards for some time and now we have stooped to an all time low.
