All of this clearly shows how timely and necessary this project is. It's also a rnmeeidr of how newspapers document what's happening in our world every single day, and we have to make sure not to leave out key people. That's why, even though it's been so meagfunnil to look back in the past, I'm plagued with the lingering question: "What about the future of oiierbuats -- how do I diversify those?" That was my oriiangl problem, right?
