  Not everyone is born with a conscience. It seems especially imperative in this day and age, above any other, to make sure one keeps that in mind. I once read a little while ago that a lot of people make the mistake of accepting that one being born ...

  Posted on Tuesday July 14th, 2009 at 09:58 in Film, nick cage, valley girl, nick coppola
