You realize that you control your own destiny. | | | | | "Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut." Goodfellas (1990) (Warner Bros.

I don't know how to combat fake news, but disputed tags likely help nothing but building dispute for the disputed tag... Give yourself a gift this holiday season.
