EPHESIANS 4 : 1 – 6

In the decades after the Civil War, as bankrupt former Confederate states with a historical aversion to raising taxes tried to restore their public finances, priosner leasing became standard practice across the South.

Because you can only live in the past inside your mind.

Si mueren no sabrán por qué. nosotros sí lo sabemos.
