 I'm not naive enough to think that spam in any of it's forms will ever be totally eliminated. People desperate for attention will keep trying to get us to read their junk.

Lessons from a 14 year old blogger... 
  
 
 I'll start off this post with a confession... I'm a news & information junkie. I have friends all over the place so I try to keep up on what's happening (good or bad) across the world.
