"Women are judged by their flaws, men are judged by their potential."

Not my words, but spot on.

America is in her teenaged years; know-it all, running with the punk, and thwarting authority.

America has a lot of cognitive development to work through.

dropped out but I am not kidding myself about "change coming" because nothing has changed. We are still going to have a ROWM as president and that hasn't changed since the beginning of this country.

articles with her name in the headline before.
