For decades my fake offspring Jason and I did battle. I swore his mother was going to attend court with him because I’ll be gawd damned if I will waste my precious time caring about anyone who doesn’t give two shits about me. How oh how could I have been so un-fatherly and just how [...]

Who is NOT forced into pitching something these days? Do folks really understand what they must represent? Or what that coerced representation will eventually lead to?
