Help me

You want to say something, but need an amplifier and decoder for your messages. You fly far and wide, and know a lot more. We can benefit from your wisdom, but choose to use derogatory terms about the size of your brain. Maybe it’s envy for your power to conquer the skies… Maybe it’s our … Continue reading Help me
