Honestly, I Think This Quote Applies To What We’re Doing Right Now With Our Blogging.

We Are The Representatives.

We Owe Everything To Our Readers.

Without Them, We Would Have No Industry.

And We Owe Them Our Judgment At All Times.

We All Have Our Own Style.

We All Are Open To Hearing Opinions.

But, We Wouldn’t Be What We Are If We Constantly Changed What We Do At The Whim Of Our Readers.

To Me, This Quote Makes A Ton Of Sense When Looked At In This Manner.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, KIDDIES?!?!?

Am I Right?!?!?

I Think Im Right!!!!!
