TV? What is this TV of which you speak?

someone who doesn't believe anyone can be accurately described in such a small amount of space.

City folk, country folk, po' folk, rich folk, thoughtful folk - folks who don't think "folks" is an outmoded word. The sarcastic, the earnest, the passionate. The wanderer and the lighthouse. Those whose respect is earned, not bought. Those who have come to their beliefs deliberately. Those who have no taboos. Freethinkers. Those who do right by others. Those who are not seeking the reward. Misfits. Those who are lost in the bramble and those who have found their path. Saunterers. Those who are quick to laughter and those who are tearful with joy. Lovers, teachers, and sharp-eyed children. Those who breathe deeply. Those who rarely use the word 'need,' because they know it's usually 'want.' Dogs, artists, philanthropists, and cynics. Philosophers, historians and prophets. Sinners. Thoughtful comedians and honest critics. Those who laugh in the rain and walk to the fire. Whores, priests, laborers and poets. The master and the servant. Puddle-stompers.
