Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that's not moving toward the tent.

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years. ↗
