Earlier this month, a star running back for the Minnesota Vikings was indicted for whipping his young son bloody with a switch. Leaked photographs allegedly showed Adrian Peterson’s 4-year-old son with cuts and bruises on his legs, back, buttocks and scrotum. As details about the incident emerged, Peterson took to Twitter to say that he’s not a perfect parent but what he did was not abuse. It was discipline. “My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that’s what I tried to do that…

“Come and play with me.” “Here is your chance!” exclaimed Sens! We walk toward the Viking ship. I have finally done it. I confessed to her and surprisingly she accepted me.

This is where you as the observer, create your own image, according to your own knowledge and experiences.” - George Gundi, Horizons. The day began as it ended.

The Mound Builders are a group of people, who pseudoarchaeologists claim, are another species or life form from the Native Americans.
