I'm an 80's baby. I miss the old school cartoons. Scooby-doo was one of my favorites. But I always wondered why he was always so afraid of everything. Like dude, you're a dog; a big dog at that. I'm sure if you bark the monsters would have instantly run away. I used to get so … Continue reading Defeating Resistance
