in truth is a mosque fell squarely on a little
- 00:29
fire to public figures shivering transport from new pull them
- 00:33
together and okay so what went wrong Well advice is
- 00:38
nice but only if we pay attention to it Right
- 00:41
Too bad This guy didn't listen We're looking for a
- 00:43
bit of cause and effect here And this man certainly
- 00:45
has a conflict with nature and maybe even a few
- 00:47
conflicts But what caused the man to become locked in

- 01:33
answer so get rid of a nd there The fact
- 01:36
