This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But governors aren't in it for simple numerical wealth. They're in it for power.

The governor of California is way more powerful than the governor of Wyoming.
