Mormon Mentality (0) permalink
What is the allure of pageants? In my experience, they’re not particularly inspiring, educational, or entertaining. Rather, they are long, overcrowded, often baffling spectacles, and I confess that I simply don’t understand their purpose.

In addition to being bored out of my skull, I remember being particularly disturbed by the fact that, ...Shared by Chad (4)Contribute comment -
