“The idea is to eat less meat. If going veg on Fridays (and fish is meat, folks) works best for you, great. If you want to make it two days a week, even better. If you use meat as a condiment and not as the main dish, okay.
I've been vegan for seven years and only regret that I didn't do it sooner. I understand it isn't for everyone, but if everyone can make an effort to at least reduce, it's a step in the right direction.”

“The only way out of debt for the gov't debt is inflation.”
dsws replied on Jun 08, 2009 at 12:57:17
“Inflation is not a way out of the debt. Enough of the debt is in short term bills that we have to roll a lot of it over. Even the expectation of inflation would raise the rate we have to pay on that debt. Iiuc we structure the debt that way specifically to provide bondholders with the assurance that we won't try to use inflation as a way of virtually defaulting .”

Why Are Bankers Still Being Treated As Beltway Royalty?
Commented May 01, 2009 at 07:41:56 in Politics
“I am in the process of dumping Bank of America and established a checking and savings account at a Chicago based bank this week.
I wasn't thrilled when BoA took over my old bank last year but after all the TARP money and credit card bs I'm done with them for good.
I just hope BoA doesn't buy out my new bank like they did with my old MBNA Master Card. I was never late on a payment and never carried over a balance in any month . BoA sends me a letter 2 weeks ago cutting my credit line in half.
I'm fortunate not to be hurt by getting my credit line cut but how many other people are getting are getting gouged by BoA and their credit card rates? Enough is enough, I'm glad my senator, Dick Durbin, is fighting for the consumer.”

Are you sure about that?!
"But the banking lobbyists went after it with guns a-blazing - even after Durbin and the measure's other backers seriously diluted the bill."”

Jeanine Garafolo on Racism -- Why She is Way off Base

“Sophia I agree with you about Jeanine Garofalo's comments on Obie's show. To call all teabaggers racist is not fair or accurate.”

“The funny thing is I would defend the other side if it was say a Gay Rally and people started spewing hate about them using vulgar words like "fags--queers--"whatever. It just adds nothing to us as human beings. If we truly want to forge a new path of cooperation and citizenship then it starts with the way we talk to one another day in and day out--the little things matter is all I am saying. Thanks for the comment.”

“I'm not Jewish but my favorite Jewish type foods would be:

2- potato pancakes
3- sweet and sour cabbage soup
4- bagels ( Kaufmans bakery on Dempster in Skokie..mmmm)
5- corned beef”

“I agree with 100% percent, well, 80%, can't get with corned beef! My black, southern Baptist grandmother loves it and would serve it a few times a year, and I still couldn't take it.
I am so glad to see a Seder at the White House, as a Baptist raised in Catholic school (who has a thing for Jews, go figure), my last Catholic school would have Passover, and I greatly appreciate the teacher who started the tradition. Many parents were outraged, buy my liberal mom was all for it and purchased a lot of what we used.
I never understand how some Christians are so up in arms about a celebration that our Savior observed. I believe that when we embrace the origins of our faith we will have a deeper understanding of one another.
And the food ain't half bad!!! :)”
