Sandra called a taxi to take us to our home. I hadn't, yet, experienced a taxi ride in Portugal. I had heard how dreadful these rides can be, especially the first time.

worthy read that explores the idiosyncrasies of all facets of religion. On a few occasions it seems as if Harris veers off of his intended path and rambles on about extraneous ideas, concepts, or current states that seem to have little to no relevance to the matter presented. In our current state of affairs we have a list of infractions that are dubbed as “victimless crimes.” Crimes such as these bring no significant harm to anybody yet people are still being penalized.
