Hypocracy, or how about alone. I live and see both. When a man _can't put a Memorial in the paper for his partner there is something wrong. In reality, what isn't printed isn't read or seen and therefore swept under the rug. Just like most of the council members despise Jim Searls for disturbing your flow and for yearly voting against a raise, I too have no intentions to fade away and radiate.
