Though this brownish-yellowish substance is gross to some and purged by most via Q-tips [...]

Independence … What an amazing and liberating word to let resonate in your thoughts.  As U.S. citizens, we have freedom that many countries do not possess.  We have the freedom to work where we want, to attend any college we desire, to live in what neighborhood we choose, and to select a lifelong partner in marriage!

Backing into another vehicle will usually leave some sort of mark on your car – let along the other car.  Colliding at mid-field with another soccer player will leave both bodies with a bruise or worse.  Two objects hitting with force usually leaves a mark.
