And she was a virgin.
because no matter how far I might ever end up, I'd still be lightyears ahead in the mental sanity department compared to that.

"And he's got a list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do
[i]any of these things he has a special place for you, where you will
burn, and suffer, and [long list of bad things here] until the end of time.
But he loves you."

If you want to dig deeper, check out "Skull and Bones". This is a group of elite US members that include a dozen or so US presidents and other high ranking officials.

Look, Skull and Bones are a real group. They are based out of Yale University. It's a "secretive society" They are made up of a very select group of Senior students at Yale each year. Bush Jr and John Kerry are both members (among others).
I can't help those that don't want to pick up a shovel. At least read the frickin article...it'll only take you 2 minutes ffs.
