What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it a heaven

Friends With Benefits – A Valentine’s Alternative (Click to Enlarge)
Friends, Reader, Countrymen – with Valentine’s Day around the corner, here’s a small bit of advice. Don’t let the perfect become the enemy of the good. A Valentine’s Day night with a Friend with Benefits is better than one spent alone or with some desperate, hookup partner.
