Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone.

Woke and on my way back to sleep. If you be patient I will add pics and my usual book ads later today.

I'm moving toward full time blogging and social entrepreneurship. purchase a book or click the paypal button.
