Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.
