<p>So... From the feedback I've gotten so far, it seems like my topicality MAY be a problem. Some people have commended me for not kissing too much a** and staying unique, while others have said that it will hurt me. I'm not sure because I see the reason in both sides. If someone has a convincing argument on either side, I would love to hear it.</p>
