“Great idea!
Thanks”

“Good point. One can still end up with "low life" neighbors even after purchasing a house, and then it can be a lot harder to sell than to leave a rental. But at least for us, the low lifes are no longer living directly underneath our floor:)”

“I like fermenting hatred,,,works for me....”

“Rice is a terrible food. very high on the glycemic index. Death for diabetics like me”

“That statement is plain wrong. A box of spaghetti in my local Kroger is .99. A pound of apples is 3.99. Do you live in the inner city? If you do, then you know that a) there are no healthy food stores in most inner city neighborhoods and b) the cost of food at those stores is often much higher than the stores in the suburbs. I have always lived my adult life inside a city, and except for New York, Chicago and a couple of other large metropolitan areas, there are no grocery stores within downtown limits. Most cities of 200,000 or thereabouts don't have them. Unless you own a car, which is the case with many lower-income families, getting fresh veggies, fruits, local milk, etc. is quite difficult. Try catching a city bus into the suburbs to get to Safeway, then carry those groceries home. The local grocery chain that opened in our city specifically promised not to charge more than grocery stores outside the city, and then did just the opposite. On top of that, the local bodegas in our inner city area have out of date food on the shelves. I challenge you to find a healthy food market in your city's inner city area. Better yet, shop at the stores that are there for one week and see what you end up eating.”

“Costa Rica is good and ranks the same as we do in healthcare by WHO.”

“Clinton was a disaster but not because he was a bad president or a bad person. What he did was support the wrong agenda...h­e supported short term gain over long term productivity. He supported corporate backers over citizens. In the end the country has suffered and it will continue to suffer.”

“Joye, have you actually VISITED New York any time in the last decade? The stereotypes you so callously mention above are largely vanquished to the trash heap of history. I travel all around the US for work, and must tell you that as much as I love to visit California, its population's attitude has become (generally) more aggressive and rude over the years, particularly relating to obnoxious, dangerous drivers and indifferent, rude restaurant service. Again, these are generalities, but I mention them for a reason.”

“Absolutely correct. I do the same. I turned of CNN when they canned Aaron Brown. I also never watch Faux News. Rachel Maddow and KO's shows are excellent.”

“Unfortunately, I don't really think the video had that effect. Take a look a the comments to that story here and around the web.

Just FYI, that also was not factory farming - that was a smaller farm. As horrible as that was, it's much, much worse on factory farms, where the vast majority of animals come from.

Best.”

“don't forget 'heckuva'”

“Or the gratuitous "also"

Or a complete butchering of English syntax!”
