Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.

This is a time for a national conversation. A conversation about the document that binds us as a nation and a people. That document, of course, is the Constitution. ↗

What's completely insane to me is that people would consider music that's simple to be dumbed-down. Couldn't simplicity be a deliberate, smart choice? ↗
