Starting to Be Mr. Nice Guy

Pictured: a philanthropist

Theory time. As those of you who follow my blog have probably noticed, I have been posting more. Not posting my thoughts, no, but links to poems. Now why do you suppose that is? Am I getting better?

They were perceived as being weak and ineffectual, so much so that even the Pope said it was fine to get rid of them.
