Horror and panic themselves are forms of violence, and diminishing them, restricting their dimensions, is itself a civilizing act.
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.
I will provide friendly and courteous service and will work closely with all departments in the county. I will abide by the Texas Information Act in providing information to the public.
