14:09 CQ : First they need to be upset over the products themselves.

14:15 Quilty Master Flash : I struggle to have a healthy personality!
14:15 BrooklynEmperor : It's misplaced anger, but the root of the anger is just, I believe. If we can activate some of these folks and show them the truth, perhaps we can effect positi
