You Gotta Fight When You Think it’s the Right Thing to Do

10,000 Birds

Paving of the road across the Reva Pond started and was abandoned several months later: only the sidewalk was paved. In the 21st century this may sound like 19th century reasoning, but I fight because it’s the right thing to do.
