There’s the memorial to Emmet Till, but tragically racist assholes deface it on a regular basis, which makes your point even more strongly. 

No, they don’t because they are so common and rarely cancerous.

It’s so utterly perfect for the right that my initial reaction was that it’s a plant. But I don’t want to be lumped in with the false flaggers.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. And I agree with what you’re saying. Lone children can be extremely intimidated by adults. She’d probably been conditioned (as most of us were) to be obedient and polite to adults to the point of deferring to their wants and needs. The reason why the airline is culpable in this is…

What happened to that little girl is awful, but I guarantee there would have been no coverage (and quite probably no action) if the boys had, for example, been Canadian immigrants.

I am in no way suggesting or condoning this, but the only act of violence that might actually make a difference is if a group of black, Muslim avowed terrorists stormed a national NRA convention and killed all the members there, preferably live on TV. Then, maybe, maybe after much talk and debate, Congress would…

Knew I was forgetting one.

As a rural Southern transplant now living in suburban Pennsylvania, I am no expert but I can offer some small insight. As some other folks have pointed out, everything besides the big city is often described pejoratively as “Pennsyltucky” or “Alabama in the Middle.” I can also attest that even in the small cities…

It is suddenly completely clear. This is the party Donald Trump should be representing: The Know Nothings!

If they could accomplish this without the need for IVF, that would really be something! Still, progress is progress.

Is it just me or is any one else reminded of the Going Clear documentary?

In the early days of the polio vaccine, didn’t they do vaccination drives at the schools? That would be so convenient. They could do it early on, like during the first or second week of school. Or for kindergarten kids, have the drive during registration because parents have to come there for that anyway. Just make…

I understand what you’re trying to state. And I agree that sex-selective abortion is a generally shitty thing to do. I don’t care about all the women who are going to yell at me for being anti-feminist because I think it is moally wrong to get pregnant and have an abortion because the baby is female. If you’re going…

Having done a few months of Luprin Devo when I was 30 and gone through real menopause when I was 40, I don’t have much good to say about either. I will say that I do not recall being an emotional wreck when I was Lupron, but I was fortunate to have a lot of emotional outlets during those months. Actual menopause…

I had that problem, too. I los several pounds before my wedding due to stress and at the ti was fa-chested to begin with. Well, my dress (which was madeon the chepy my mom and a little old lady) wastaken in at the waist after the ittin but not in the bust. So, in addition to them sewing buttons back onto my dress (see…

The dry cleaners cleaned my wedding dress instead of pressing it like I'd asked. As a result many of the faux pearl buttons got ruined by the chemicals. This was two days before the wedding. My mom had made the dress for me and the buttons had been on clearence.mthere was only one packet of buttons left in the store…

You make a good point. I, however, have known an Aspergers kid, a close relative with debilitating Autism/Fragile X, another with Downs, and have family members who have lost children right after birth and others at Age 6. I also know people who have had a child brain-injured from near drowning. I've worked briefly…

When I am the queen and seem to live forever, I shall wear violet-purple with red feathers in my hat that don't go ... And I shall look fabulous.

I hate to disappoint anyone who erroneously thinks cold temperatures and hot flashes in any way cancel out one or the other. I (pre-hrt) suffered from what I like to think of as thermostat volume dysfunction. For example crying child forced me to get out of bed in the middle of the winter night and it's so cold that…

This doesn't surprise me because I have noticed that getting upset was a sure way to trigger a hot flash. Fortunately, I'm on estrogen now and haven't had one in over a month. :-)
