I was in elementary school in the 70's and decided I didn’t want to stand because of the “one nation under god” part. My mom was a radical liberal feminist at that time (and divorced, in Southern Ohio - no so acceptable). We would have been considered more social outcasts, but my sisters and I did well in school, and…

You’re right, and it bugs me both ways. I love Seattle, I love Portland - they both have some shitty sides to them. I just happened to have settled in Portland.
But don’t get me started on the sanctimonious bike-riders here! (I have been a bike commuter for most of the 30 years I’ve lived here, and it’s always been…

Nobody wants any of their family members to get any kind of cancer, but it’s kind of a fact of life.
I’ll smoke my pot, and vape, and not judge my adult children for wanting to smoke or vape. If that’s the worst thing we’re doing to get along in this fucked up world, I am a-ok with that.
(I also live in the PNW where…

I don’t know how old your kid is, but I’d be willing to bet they’ll be in contact with a lot worse than vaping.
