What Are You Thinking?

leejohndrowteamEvery time I open Facebook or Twitter there are the proverbial “one liners”. I think there is a part of me that wonders as to whether the one liners are the dumbing down of humanity or humanity preceded with the dumbed down.

Which came first? Continue reading What Are You Thinking?
