Charging For Clues

Not sure why you think this would solve many of our current issues. I think this would just leave more boxes without clues, which is worse than clues without boxes. Some might be willing to pay...

Adopt Or Not

I don't think a foster parent is needed for every box you can't physically take care of, but a designated person to take over your clues would be nice. In Texas, we have gotten used to taking...
