Hello All

@rladlof, thank you for those two articles!
No, the Right's "family values" apply to everyone but themselves...
There's a reason I call him "Amphibious Rex".
It is interesting how he can get away with this and still remain a public figure.
You would think that those he is preaching to would not tolerate his behavoir.
How come there is a double standard here? Maybe cheating on one's spouse is nothing special anymore. Now the hot issue is getting caught doing homosexual activity. One has to hook up with strangers in public bathrooms or hire male escorts to get noticed anymore.
Apparently, family values should be enforced by the federal government on some and not on others.
I buy my clothes on line from american made companies, usually union made as well. Not including underwear. However, i did buy a pair of red wing boots. which did something anti worker recently, cant remember what. maybe relocated overseas.
Slavery has many forms. Chattel slavery is inefficient. Wage slavery is a better model. Of course, one has to accept the concept of removing people from their resources such that submission to slavery becomes the only option versus death.
Slavery in the United States, sure we need to teach about that, but what about the GENOCIDE of the indigenous people that were here (who weren't so useful as slaves, because escaping was easier for those who knew the land better than the slave masters).

@Maxrot #52, yah if the retail prices actually reflected the pennies-on-the-dollar sweatshop wages, the PR trope that 'lower prices increase consumers' standard of living' would be at least a half-truth. Even then buying the sweatshop crap would still be a more serious form of class treason than the bumper stickers per #54.
Bumper Sticker:
There is a Class War Going on; if your car is worth less than $20,000, has a right wing bumper sticker, you're a traitor and need to be shot.

@Maxrot #46: Germany instituted a pension and health care system in 1871.
Tariffs, Duties, Fees on Imports, I don't care what you call it, we need to return to protecting our markets. Our country will be nothing but bloated and weak if all we have is Master Degreed McDonalds Fry Flippers.
:-(
We ship way too much raw material offshore way too cheap, and buy it back at way too high a price.

@rladlof, just heard a Whitman spot again, talk about not letting your friends vote stoopid. If I don't see/hear some ads to counter her BS soon, I'm gonna vomit. Get a real pit in my stomach thinking about her as Governor.

George Carlin's solution to hunger and homelessness: Feed the homeless to the hungry. Two problems solved.
What's this word I keep hearing on this program, "Pension" what is that, is it some sort of disease that we've been vaccinated against. I'm only 40, so I'm sure it was something that afflicted people back in the 50's and 60's. By my understanding it musta' been like Alzheimers, it particularly attacks the elderly. Thank god Nixon and Raygun saved us from that horror.

Gives a whole new perspective on 'my two cents worth.'

Unfortunately, I live in a VERY rural area-closest disabled advocates are about 100 miles away. There's one. One group in THAT town, with one, VERY overloaded advocate. This area isn't exactly known for it's affinity to the poor, racial minorities, disabled, or elderly who aren't from this area. I DID contact an agency about 300 miles away-but they said that with the "old family", tight-knit, ultra-conservative attitudes up here-the likelihood of them being able to do something, was almost none. They DID put me on a waiting list-for several agencies-that was about 4 years ago when my body decided it had hung in there as long as it could. ;) My Senator helps me a LOT when I get denied meds or services-but my "constituent service" rep there says they have little to no control over these small, rural offices-UNLESS it's something completely off-the-wall. I actually called her supervisor-who apologized for my worker, but said they get increasing pressure from the community to cut back on fraud.
I lived in fairly small towns in the South-NEVER have I seen the "good-ole-boy club" I've seen here-nor would I EVER have expected it.
Thanks for the advice-but as I've said, all I can do is hope that an opportunity to move comes up-which we, (my kids & I), ARE working on!! Moving me just isn't going to be as easy as it was 9 years ago....
