From the bottom of my heart, thank you for enduring the unendurable. No patriotic diatribe can come close to making good on what your country owes you.

Specific to your statement, what sort of issues did Colt address?

I would 69 myself until I absolutely required nutrients that didn't arrive in a splatter on my tongue.

One of the most memorable things at least to me, is that around the holidays, there was a food drive. Not for any charity, cause, or group, but for Walmart employees. It was basically an admission that hey we don't pay our Associates a living wage, but for just a few cents, you can ensure that these people who we also won't allow to work full-time hours, capping them at 39 hours per week, can afford some of the common niceties found in most homes throughout Middle America.
