Thank you! I caught the house work up yesterday, headed to the yard today!

I would love to do lunch!!

I have been gone for 2 months taking care of dad. Many of you know he has had leukemia for many years. His type of leukemia causes cancers in different parts of the body. He is monitored for them and most have been caught early. They are extremely aggressive. A skin cancer on his head went from the size of a nickel to a silver dollar within weeks. The skin cancer on his scalp that we have fought with multiple surgeries and the removal of his scalp migrated to the lymph nodes in his neck. He had a heart attack mother's day that has prevented further surgery. He was taking a chemo that

I believe the Republican party hates the American people. They attack every segment of society blaming them for every ill this country suffers. We can never be christian enough, We dare to expect fare wages and when we do they invite companies to leave with our money. They place no tariffs to replace the money drained from our country. They force us into debt with Haliburton that holds us hostage with the threat of serving other war machines all over the world. The company that won't put a dime of their ill gotten gains in an American bank. They serve the 1% and have manipulated our finances

The Republican party refuses to do anything that would change any of that as long as he is in office. It has been an uphill battle for every inch of progress out of the black hole Bush put us in. I guess the slowing of the Chinese market is his fault too. Every dime of that deficit is a direct result of Republican fiscal policy during the Bush administration. 5.1 unemployment is terrible? okey dokey

The party and the constituents want a speaker that will go to the fence, even shut down the government to spite Obama. I believe that many are seeing these petty games have far reaching consequences. Our country is improving in leaps and bounds. Issues have been addressed that were kicked down the road for years. They are expected to twist everything to look bad. The Republican party is imploding on itself. I don't see how anyone can morally meet the expectations of the party. They constantly keep a 3 ring circus going to try and discredit this administration. I am not sure how they can come

We all see marriage as a perfect ideal. I also would like to see a world where it was realistic for women who wished to stay home while the husband worked become more realistic. We are looking at a socioeconomic problem. For married couples it is the cost of living and stagnant wages. For the single parent we see that multiplied 10 fold. This nation is always in flux as one theory after another is tested. The last 20 years have proven failure after failure from social and economic failures of these theories.Every thing from a deregulated credit industry to welfare. The welfare issue started wh

Is this why the far right is trying to de-fund planned parenthood? All the poverty for profit folks are afraid of going broke? The entire thing was a sham, a spliced together video painting a totally different truth. The conservatives accept it when the spinners and news agencies do it, it was no brainer that it would stand unquestioned by the masses. The damage control by the right has become so predictable it is a joke. Fight it down to the wire then let it go to keep the government running. The constituents believe you fought hard but the evil Obama holds all the power and is destroying th

I am amazed the people that have been led to believe they have more in common with the 1% and that they represent their best interest. The only thing that separates us from the poor are the artifacts we surround ourselves with. Most of us are a layoff or serious illness away from poverty and public assistance. The system has evolved to assure that most don't die with 2 nickels to rub together. Educating our children has become beyond our financial reach. The cost of living is creating more and more poverty. All of these things demonstrate that our society is a mental pressure cooker. We are gr

This is an example of over simplifying our problems. We have too many issues thrown at us and we are accepting answers and information as shot at us in bullet form. Social and moral issues are so complex that the first book written about them takes years of study to read and comprehend, it is known as a bible. I am not saying religion is the answer, I am giving an example. You know I see more educated people and skilled workers that practice that more than anyone else. They often perceive themselves ahead the less they sweat and they expect things to be cheap backed by cheap labor and material

Actually you are spot on when it comes to cause. We absolutely know that the root cause of most crime is lack of education and poverty, Incarceration for profit was a move in the wrong direction. The problems are social in nature. The money spent over seas to persuade other countries to view us in a better light would go a long way towards better education here. We are fighting a war in our own streets that we are losing. We can identify children at risk for mental illness and antisocial behavior early. Prisons could become mental health facilities instead of universities of crime. When there

We have no published studies that I know of that are following the effect of the first generation to watch tv from cradle to coffin. And to continue to research each subsequent generation after that. The volume and realism of the violence may have different effects. I was not surprised after my previous comments about hormones on the psyche to learn he was obsessed with his virginity. I think that there is a generalized belief that that majority of people from their teen years on are indulging in frequent and exceptional sexual activity. A lot of media, articles, social media tend to prop this

You and I are on the same page with this. It was mental illness period. The media will turn it into a 3 ring political circus, Why not when the public will lap it up. Are there affordable or free mental health services on campus? Has the faculty been trained to spot the symptoms, or any teachers any where been trained? America would be solving a problem rather than exploiting it. You can see how the minds of some begin to see life as hopeless. Perhaps that is how he saw it, nothing was ever going to change. Just like this thread just another excuse to hurl insults. Another political platform

I think we will eventually find that many mass murders and family murders are an organic brain disease. I don't think it is that important what the catalyst is. We have to identify it early. It probably starts around puberty. We know that serial killers start exhibiting the behavior around puberty or shortly after that time. Most are male with the exception of females when the behavior seems to start after child birth. I believe a very small percentage of the population has difficulty separating realty from fiction in their brains. It is like 2 wires rubbing together for years, then the prot

I hate to place a link to a FB page, but this so clearly represents the gears of the destroy Trump turning hard and fast. How many wealthy people have to say the taxation of the middle class and the loopholes provided the wealthiest are strangling the middle class economic engine of this country until it sinks in to the extreme right's brain. I don't agree with everything he says and I don't even like him, never have. He has articulated some of this countries biggest economic problems than I have ever heard. Frankly we don't need another leader that cow-tows to any party propaganda. The video

Can you list the actions or comments that make Trump a Rhino?

I can't believe he thought he was a viable candidate? I laughed every time I saw him. No bomb there a total dud before the fuse was even lit. Amazing the Bushes have the nerve to think that the last Bush was such a great president we want another one. I hope the Clinton's catch on that we don't have a ruling class where leadership is passed down blood lines.

I agree with the second part of your reply. The first part is simply contingent on what propaganda you want to believe. I am not directing that solely at Republicans. It comes from both sides. My issue is those behind the scenes that are paid well to manipulate public opinion to believe things that are not in their best interest. I see through so much of it. I question all of it and it never passes the BS test. We are our own worse enemy. You mark my words they are going to persecute the Donald. I already hear the whispers. It is gaining momentum. For me it is not who I like for president be

No he was ousted for caring more about his country than the special interest groups that are paying legislatures in both parties. The greed is out of control. I am pretty sure he cried through the Pope's speech because he is afraid he is going to go to hell for his part in what has happened to the American people.

The party leaders. The machines that are paid millions to elect and re-elect the politicians that have been bought and paid for by powerful corporations and lobbies. It is quite easy to follow money back to the machines that control our elections and policies. I watch and say to myself who will benefit from this piece of propaganda. Anytime a sound bite or exert is taken out of context it is manufactured by a special interest machine. I get it about politics, but the Pope specifically targeting protestants. Boehner had a target on his chest the first day he tried to get congress to do their jo

Damn those stinking facts. They are going to crucify Boehner right along side of the Pope. I suspect the machine is building Trumps cross presently. They are putting together sound bites and memes. I have been disgusted at so many accepting these without question. I thought I was beyond being shocked until I saw what was done to the Pope on social media. I have been sick watching it. I now believe what the ultra conservative right has been saying. We are headed for disaster. Fear mongering against a president with clear evidence to the contrary, fear mongering that our constitution and laws

I know, like those communist miners striking for safer working conditions and decent wages. I know this country is over run with communist. The headlines are full of stories about how large the communist party is here and the enormous progress they are making converting this country to communism. We absolutely have too much freedom of religion here. When the communist get in control they will decide what religion we can practice. No more clerks being forced to marry sinners.

I wonder why our founding fathers did not put it on all things issued from the government? Could it have been changed around the period that capitalism was preached in the nations pulpits as close to Godliness. I see it went over quite well.

He is inspiring many to not only believe and worship but to practice Christianity. I am hoping he is leading Christians into a new era. I am not even Catholic and I think he is wonderful. I have always seen the Popes as political. He is reaching out to many that most Christians show only disdain for.

What if an officer does not feel the need to place the sticker on his vehicle. Would his fellow officers think or treat him differently? What about the kid in high school that chooses not to participate in a pregame prayer? I have no issue with religion or prayer. What is the message here? We trust God so you can trust us? Are you not going to trust the Deputy that does not have it? I have always judged our local LE based on their actions, so far all my encounters have been positive. The sticker does not effect my judgement of them at all. Living in this county as long as I have, I can tell yo
