I Took a look at the past few decades. After careful scrutiny(my own of course): the world was lost completely when 2 things occurred. We can point directly at them. My saying is, "The day we started paving 25 cents for air (in our tires), and going into a store to buy water(clean enough to drink) we had lost our freedom, and our most basic right to exist".I made this quote myself. I would also like people to put alot of thought into another quote of mine. There is only 1 real difference between a "good kid" and a"bad kid". Simply put, A good kid cares who knows.

I have two: My favorite: "La tinta mas desaída es siempre mejor que la memoria más poderosa". It means that the worst looking ink is always better than the best memory. In other words: Write down whatever you want to remember, or you may forget it! My second one: "Lo mejor que hizo Dios es un dia después del otro". It means that the best thing God created was one day after the other. If you are down and out...there is always hope for a better tomorrow. Your worst day will be over in a few hours!
