Is the PRIZE worth the FIGHT?
CAUTION: If you are overly sensitive or relentlessly idealistic or an unapologetic passivist at heart, you should probably stop reading! =) I grew up on a Ballahack Road “farmette” in rural Virginia…. with one brother, and two parents who loved us and loved each other unconditionally.
