• The problem with revenge is that it never gets what it wants; it never evens the score. Fairness never comes. The chain reaction set off by every act of vengeance always takes its unhindered course.

  Lewis B. Smedes

I kissed black women daily and nightly on 'Family Feud' and the world didn't come to an end, did it?
