    It wasn't an Autobot.

    If you happen to find any glowing green crystals please do not sell them to an evil looking bald guy, however lucrative the offer may be.

    Negative moral value of force outweighs the positive value of good intentions.

    Please Help. My wife and I live in that area. Last night we were out past our usual time and we found a young boy. He was wandering out in the cold all by himself.
    We've talked to the appropriate authorities, but we know we need to get the word out as much as possible. The doctors say he's fine, but he hasn't spoken a word yet.
    Please take a look at his picture and call your local authorities if you have any information at all. We are desperate to find out who he is.
    If nobody can legitimately claim him, we would be so blessed if we could adopt him. For now, Martha and I have taken to calling him Clark. Thanks.
