Good people think good and thats the order of the day should be. I am suprised to see that self centered people are increasingly becoming good towards the lawless people and harresing the law lovers. If the people in authority thinks that this is the way it should be than its high time that at ground zero some discipline is to be shown to the cencern people who think that they are right, can do anything and control the lifes of others. Sleeping Joe's please wake up before it is too late, light up and hear the cries of the people. Thank mother earth and eat only as much as you can.
