I deal with it just fine but the heat aggravates it and if not for the relief of A/C it could kill me. <br /><br />For those that want to do without AC, fine.

An argument of freedom for the sake of freedom falls on deaf ears to those who say "I've been told what to do all my life and I've had no problem with it". <br /><br />The problem with it is they are accustomed to it - they have seen the bars of their prison for so long that it has become a familiar 'friend' protecting them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
