KNOW BETTER? BETTER THAN WHAT? TO VOTE
November 4, 2024 by
Adults have it over kids when they say, “You ought to know better,” when something goes wrong. Older people have seen plenty go wrong, have done plenty of things wrong. Did they have someone explain what they ought to know? Or did they have the grace of being stupid by themselves without the feedback? Well, […]

BE PREPARED: IT’S MORE THAN A BOY SCOUT MOTTO WITH THE COVID
