What People Are Saying

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

    Dunno. Still waiting for them to try the same hiring laws and social-security program as they mandated for the rest of us.
    .
    Seems they assured a bumpy ride for this health-care plan when instead of only being a new welfare program for the folks who are not happy without coverage, it also became a restructuring/intrusion into the coverage of people who are happy with what they do have now. They figured out how to annoy more people than they please.

  5. Model Minority says:

    @manaen

    Ha! Re 16.

    Ummm. You can't change a system w/o affecting members who benefit from it.

    I often think about that when I see shiny Black people in NY or DC. How can I have a conversation w/ them about capitlism when it is TOTALLY working for them?

    It is easier, of course to have a convo about it with someome, who the system isn't working for.

    It funny, When I saw that they were bailing out the banks, I kept saying, Nationalize health care, and now they are, and look at it. I should have asked for incluisive, comprehensive. No?

    Given that I?m coming off the worst month of my life (August is still here so let me knock on wood) I feel relatively good to have things returning back to normal a lil bit.

    Anger masks so much, so when it goes something inadvertently fills the void. Hopefully something will take vulnerability?s place.
