Community by community living wage laws are passing. The people are choosing them. Living wages are not picked by and forced by the government and will vary from area to area. The living wage for Mt. Vernon Ohio will be different than for Santa Rosa California. Yes, I will stand behind my convictions and give a living wage. http://jim-wisefawn.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=25169 Link <br
I was coming here to tell you that I understand how much words can sometimes hurt. Ther was a time on here that no matter how hard I tried remain tough, I'd have my sister check my blogs first because sometimes people can be so cruel. I'm still here though. You are still here. I don't know what you guys are planning to do, but I do know that this can be taken way too far. I don't condone his comment and I told him it was cruel, but I also kno
I enjoy quiet, calm Birthdays too. Mine was this last Saturday. My daughter made me her famous lasagna! It is supposed to be your day to celebrate as you'd like. I hope they listen to you!
I agree that there is no single, simple approach! I think there should be a healthy mixture of all, including government. At localfood pantries, they rely on donations and government grants. Unfortunately, the grants have been cut so much and the lines are very long. I think in order for anything at all to change, the first thing would have to be people's perception of the poor. And people's denial that there is legitimate need. Good article.
Yes you are making good points, as you always do. How would you feel about a gas and rent price control?
What a neat test! I'm Apocalypse Now. If anyone sees Wuthering Heights, I'd sat see the old, original version. Nothing like it. If I were to pick my own, I'd say I am Now Voyager.
Oh Gideon, I am so happy for you and your family. I love your spirit and please tell your wife that I think she is one lucky woman.
An insightful article! I'm so glad you posted this!!
sorry stevendedalus, I'm just tired tonight.
Oh please. In the first place, you did not write an article, you made a long comment. In the second place, I made a comment about your draft thing, but Richard's article isn't about that. I find myself feeling very disgruntled with conservatives tonight. Yes, all of you. I'll make my statement here for all of you...I'm not Anti-American nor am I in sympathy or cohoots with terrorists. I research, and check facts all of the time. I am not hate filled be
Lovely, thought provoking article!
So very glad to see you!!
You gotta admire passion! There are many people here that feel the same way and are very dedicated and determined.
"Whoever is enthroned must still sit on his bottom; implicit is that he is but an ass." My favorite this week!
lol, I think I do not need to respond. The fact that you attempt to blow away the factcheck about her, but then like and quote the one about the draft, speaks for itself. stevendedalus- Great article and I hope to hear soon that you safely rode out yet another hurricane.
There are so many good reasons to not shop there, but this would be the number one reason!!! I hadn't been to the Anti-Defamation League site for a bit and was unaware of this, thank you for posting it. It's something we should know.
MadPoet and I write. I won't discuss his personal life or his reasons for leaving. He is OK and as sweet as ever!! But I miss him being around. I've been wondering about PoetMom too. And Gerry Attrick and several others.
There are several fairies that visit me regularly and I have a great relationship with Santa's elves. "to dream the impossible dream..."
I'm so glad to see this!!
"False allegations about Kerry's wife have been circulating for months, but the velocity of the Internet "whispering campaign" picked up substantially with the approach of the Fall campaign." These have all been proven to be false. http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=224
Interesting article. Of course, I don't agree. This has led to a scenario where, in poor urban areas, the hospital ER becomes the primary care physician. This kind of scenario has to be more expensive than doctor's visits. Insur
Good article! This is not an OK thing for America. Our government is giving the standard vague answers. Muslims are wanting the aswers. The best thing that can happen is an apology from the US and the offer to enter, if he ever chooses to do so again.
One of your best articles ever! And getting my insightful, for what it's worth!!
Great article!
CAT STEVENS IS NOT A TERRORIST OR A TERRORIST SUPPORTER!!!!!!!!
