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.

US right wingers when the invisible hand of the free markets somehow fails to un-pollute their rivers:

Cuyahoga is also a great track on REM’s album “Life’s Rich Pagent”
