You can always avoid this problem by having no social services. This is the refreshing Texas model, and it works a treat. Molly Ivins Read Quote
I left my job as a feature writer on a newspaper to write a book, then sent it off to a number of agents thinking they would all reject me. Within a week, most had come back to say they loved what they had read, which then led to a bidding war for my first two novels. Jane Green Read Quote

The English sent all their bores abroad, and acquired the Empire as a punishment. Edward Bond Read Quote
For better or worse, we have evolved for sure, but we’ve also maintained a certain core about who we are, which is we were raised on late ’50s and early ’60s rock n’ roll and R&B, and you can always hear that throughout.
