Americans spend much of their adult lives paying taxes in various forms. We should end this practice of paying a tax that is triggered only by debt. ↗

Big Eve had asked her to seduce Helios in order to secure a victory in the fight for his support & she had agreed to do so knowing full well that no action on her part would be necessary. Big Eve should know that all men were born animals, & as long as a girl made it known that she was prepared to accept a man`s advances, those advances would happen on their own accord. Her little experience with the male sex had taught her that. Thus, if she desired to seduce Helios, all she had to do was to make it known that she was prepared to accept his advances.[MMT] ↗

That's what everyone said attracted them to Lantana - I call it an adult mystery, because it's not a thriller in the sense of that other way, but it is a mystery. ↗

The only thing an adult can give a child is time. ↗

It's only adults who read the top layers most of the time. I think children read the internal meanings of everything. ↗
