In The Real World
In the real world:
On October 11, 2010, it was reported that the number of malnourished people in the world exceeded 1 billion people, about a sixth of the world’s total population.
Elderly people have to choose between medicine, food, shelter and heating/cooling.
Unemployment rates only reflect those people who still receive unemployment benefits. It does not include people whose benefits have run out or those who do not qualify for unemployment benefits.
46.3 million people in the US (15.4% of the population) are uninsured.
And we worry about being politically correct.
It’s going to get a lot worse if Americans don’t get over the case of Rectal Cranial Disease that they seem to be coming down with lately,and the GOP have their way.

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Quik Stop near my house and a guy was sitting on the sidewalk. When I came back out he asked me if I could give him money to eat and he would give me his boots. I asked him would it work if I bought him something to eat and he agreed. I got him a sandwich and chips, a snack cake and a milk. It broke my heart. That’s somebodies son or father perhaps.
Thanks for publishing that, Allah. Somehow, I never thought I would see myself write those words. Anyway, the ‘REAL’ unemployment rate is definitely north of 20%.

My sentiments mirror those of #3 completely.
Well said, Mr Sawyer.
This may seem like a totally crazy idea, but it’s something I’ve thought about for years.
Why can’t we just convert all our lawns, public parks, and roadside fields into impromptu vegetable gardens for the summer? It might not pay people’s bills, but it would at least feed them.
This country needs widespread guerrilla gardening in a bad way.

What allot of people now are doing is family moving in with family! Bad side is domestic violence is on the uprise. My sister in-laws are true blue bitches. They love mind games and don’t like how good my mother-in and I get along! So they always try to get her pissed at me when they are around. Thank Universe they moved far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have built a cottage just in case such situation happens.
My two adult sons moved back in! Sh@t is hitting the fan with this economy and gas prices!
But anyway yes…its really tough out there…my father in law just turned 70 yrs old and still works at Winn Dixie deli! And you know they take advantage of him giving him sh@tty pay (he has worked 6 yrs with them)and the unwanted shifts and work on all holidays!!!!!!!!!!!
Gave you a heart…K!
