This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I thought everyone heard the saying as a child to not trust lawyers, politicians, and weathermen because they all lie.

We shouldn’t be willing to let the house burn down to teach someone a lesson.

Nothing can be done for years. Till the next election. We are just a long for the ride able to carry out the first amendment right at the very least.
