So in effort to keep my blog from getting hacked [ :: ERROR :: FOOLISH COG, THERE IS NO SAFETY, IT IS AN ILLUSION: http://JCHutchins.net #7thSon ] by the same guy that has hacked my Twitter and my Facebook I’m going to try and help him get the word out about JC Hutchin’s book, [...]

After hearing someone on NPR say that everyone they know is good, I tweeted the following question, “Would you say “Everyone I know is good.”? Why or why not?”.
