Diversity is a bane, benefit to society
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked the question: “What does diversity mean to you?” And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the response: “An old, old wooden ship, that was used during the Civil War era.”

He was right, but it wasn’t anything driver’s ed hadn’t taught me already. I knew/know the risk of driving, and try to follow the rules of the road to avoid aforementioned death or injury.
