Damn good Quote by Glenna Sinclair
““I say,” Jake continued after a long pause, “if they’re not hurting anyone, why bother them? This is America, after all. Maybe it’s not the best it could be all the time, but it’s pretty damn good, all things considered. And I fought for it. Sure, you might not agree with everything happening all the time, but at least it’s a big country. You don’t like your neighbors, just move. You don’t like your state, find a new one. Or vote for people who’ll change it to your liking. We’re the people who make this place, right or wrong.””
