Preservation of Civilization

    Self-defense mechanisms
        take over in times like these …
     
     No matter the provocation
       Don’t forget ‘thank you’ and ‘please’

Manners meant a lot my friend. My parents always taught me manners. Like yours. It is a forgotten tradition that should be brought back to all kids and people in general, it makes the world a better place to treat others with respect. Thank you for sharing my friend...
