THE DOLLAR VALUE OF MORAL FIBER IN BUSINESS
by George H. Cushing
THE biggest thing in American life today is that children are not being disciplined. They are not given moral training. Every man notes the result but only a few the cause.
The first visible result is lack of respect for the parent and wholesale disobedience. This comes to seed in impudence to older persons generally and disregard for the rights of others.
The second expression of the same thing is the absence of any sense of responsibility. This is the root of the lack of application which is almost universal in the younger generation.

The parcel had passed the customs officials, and had, apparently, a clear road to its destination anywhere in the United States.

Given all the steps involved, twelve minutes to set up a call doesn’t seem that long. I wonder what the call cost.

“but if you’re a smart shemale you’ll concentrate on your partner.”
This word, I do no think it means what you think it means.
BUT IS IT PROPER?
GUYS AND GALS will always have gripes about each other, still the delicate art of dating survives.

Mike’s 19, a native of Los Angeles; he’s 5’11″ tall, has light brown hair and hazel eyes, is a bug on cars (drives a yellow Lark convertible) and records for Columbia. Read the rest of this entry »
