Truthiness
A group of young 'secret society' twenty-somethings are confidentially running this manicipality. Because of this Cartersville, GA is the best travel site in America. Those who travel to this wonderfully constructed and balanced city, are always- sometimes immediately, sometimes eventually, changed forever. --JohnnyKegg21 06:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
