I don't mean to sound prejudice but HFH has not helped the poor white people here.
All of the homes being built here are for the black people.
We have alot of black people who go to our church so please don't take what I said the wrong way
but the homes should be built for all the poor. They are not here.


HFH ,mentioned, above is Habitat for Humanity. We're an international Board so thought I'd back-fill with this: http://www.habitat.org/ They are also working in a Himalayan nation which I find Nepal-ing (or is it appalling? I forget...)

Lovely Linda (which is repetitive, like saying ATM machine, "Linda" meaning "lovely")--I sure have liked your posts about music--remind me again what they were. So involved..."All I know is what my mono-source tells me." Who could ask for anything more? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK62pW35GIw

Thanks ED!

Loooking frequently for other folks to do your intellectual heavy lifting? Maybe that's why so many fall into the trap of following Fox News--they provide easily-digestible answers that reinforce prevous prejudices. The last thing they want are folks who think for themselves.

This kind of casual slander is disturbing. Do you have facts/statistics to back up this assertion? If not try to get some from your pastor/city councilman because it is a legit question. Otherwise your kvetching is easily dismissed as anecdotal pseudo-evidence. I hope this was an easy enough, not-personal-enough, request to make.
BTW that "some of my best friends are...X" defense went away 50 years ago...Just so you know.

Could I ask all you Yankee-Doodle-Dandies (sp??) i.e. American forum members, who you think will win the next election? Not who you would like to win - who you think will actually win. Any takers?
