\"\"The only message I ever got from the Baptists and Methodists in my youth was “Stay out of trouble and you won’t be IN trouble.” I think Will Smith put it better: “Don’t start nuthin’ ain’t gonna be nuthin’.”

I remember their names and wish I was half the mentor the least of any of them are.<\/p>\n
