Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates... Instead, they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service, should learn to think and act as a mass.
I don't believe in naming clients to get press. I hated it when I was a couture client. If the dresses don't sell themselves, there is something wrong.

Consumers of meat, eggs and dairy products might well ask what they are supporting. Do farmers care about anyone but themselves? Can't anyone see the cow for the cheese?
Women want respect but are let down by those of them who don't respect themselves. Several men use this as an excuse to disrespect women. We are born with this as the norm and not a tragedy!
Every parent wants to know that their children are protected against those who have a particular agenda until they get old enough to make decisions for themselves.
