If by Rudyard Kipling
Given the title of the poem, here's one "if" that I hope to see come to pass in my time: If I ever have a son, I'm going to buy him the complete works of Kipling, for him to go through as he grows...
Thanksgiving
Save the world. Eat a vegan! Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts and wilde men? and what multitudes of them there were, they then knew not: for...
