The part of your blog post that really stuck out to me was how you said that instead of making choices for teenagers, people should show them how to make the right decisions. This is so intuitive! How is […]

I am wondering if that is what you want to go forward with in this topic? Explaining the history is so helpful, and relating that back to the […]

Thanks for the reply. I think that you are completely right, I need to alter whatever pitch I end up creating by the November meeting to creating more sympathy to the animals. I think it is important […]
