I'm looking through my closet and I've found that I own four 'Hoodies'. In fact I will put one on in a few minutes because it's cold outside and that's where I will be...outside. Will I be in any danger. Of course not, I'm white.
Florida never fails to astound me. Yes, I know that there are Floridians that are sane but they appear to be in the minority. I would guess that elderly white folks and 'crackers' are in the majority and that's why they have an abomination of a law called 'Stand Your Ground'. Please! This is the 21st century and not the 19th. Grow up!
I have to congratulate myself for not taking a cheap shot about the recent surgery on you know who.
What's with the people who think that the Keystone pipeline project is a domestic venture? It's FOREIGN oil folks! Canada is a foreign nation and they will charge us the market rates for that oil.
And why aren't we looking at alternative energy? I'm reading Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman and it makes for a sobering read.Is climate change happening? You betcha!
Not only is it foreign oil but it will be shipped to other countries-- like South America. The ignorance today is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I would ever say it...but we need to have a 'test' before being allowed to vote. If you can't name the Vice President and point to Canada on a map, you are barred from voting.
DeleteAccording to Paul Krugman in the New York Times those stand your ground laws of various states were not actually written by the legislators. They were written by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative organization funded by the Koch brothers, Exxon Mobil, and others. They are the authors of the bills that have attempted to strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights, undermine environmental protection laws, promoting tax cuts for the corporations and the wealthy. They also push privatization turning over everything from prisons to schools to for profit companies that take the taxpayers money but do not provide quality services in return.
ReplyDeleteThe Koch brothers are just as evil as the 'robber barons' of the last two centuries...one can only hope that they meet their demise soon.
