While it’s been known as true forever that the first step to  improving something is to point out its flaws, should you dare to do so you will be hung upside down for speaking the truth. This is because Americans, and America itself, is a great lie, with a contest for who can be the greatest liar.

“Most of us as children are shamed for our actions and behaviors and often more so for the families we come from.

“The pursuit of happiness and success.. is often at somebody else’s expense,” Dylan Christopher
