I do like the thrill of risk-taking, but it's always carefully calculated. I have done many high risk undertakings, but I have always measured the stakes. Not feeding the fear nor the doubt. But I also believe that you need to fuel passion in whateve...
I fear if I cannot think again, if my mind suddenly goes blank. It will be embarrassing.
Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.
