"Calculus, my favorite math.  If a little faith is good, and more is better, I wonder what infinite faith would look like. Would the asymptote would be lunacy?"

"Dear Taylor, I have to agree with so many other posters.  The fact that you haven't lost your mind is because of your strength of mind! You are in a place where the pack mentality reigns.  Although I am, usually, of the mind to stand…"
