Local voices chime in on a variety of topics.
And then my mind wandered back to the 1990s, when a Michael Jackson look-alike was boppin’ around the park and it seemed as all the Pinkerton High School students held summer jobs there (my daughter was a “slushie girl” and often came home with a blue arm from the grape slushies she made.)
He could choose, for example, to simply show us that he found a dead chipmunk. Instead, he chooses to eat it, damn the resulting upchucking that comes later. Then, once he’s realized that eating a dead chipmunk makes him sick, he could choose – based on past experience – to not eat that new dead chipmunk he found. But again, that’s asking too much. He will likely eat ALL the dead chipmunks regardless of the outcome.
Can you imagine someone trying to tell a man in ‘Merica what they can or cannot do with their bodies? Or making laws that restrict a man’s right to choose?
Earning your place in society is the American way. Our nation believes in the power of a merit-based system, which rewards hard work, dedication, and individual achievements. It is vital to recognize that true equality lies not in preferential treatment or quotas but in providing equal opportunities for all, regardless of one’s race or background. The Supreme Court’s decision reaffirms this core conservative principle, ensuring that students are evaluated on their individual merits rather than predetermined factors that undermine fairness.
Redistricting is necessary to maintain up-to-date and competitive voting; however, it must be done with transparency and in good faith. Include the constituents impacted by these decisions in on the conversation. Democracy is not optional. Oppose Gerrymandering. Oppose HB 75.
Earlier this month was Father’s Day. It was not the intended motivation for me to write this but the connection is unavoidable.
These are genuinely funny scenes (if cringe comedy is your thing). These also seem like situations autistic people might struggle with. In the first, the tour guide says the participant could swear, so really, what was he doing wrong? Robinson’s character didn’t get the memo that yes, it’s okay to swear, but at least keep f-bombs and dirty language reasonable.
Today we are just divided. If I do not agree with you then I’m {insert name here}. Some say that we act like children. I disagree…in my experience, children do not naturally hate and usually do not learn that nasty trait until they are older.
I give you the famous line, you come up with the name of the movie. Extra points for recalling who said it and the year.
You will watch your wife devour a grilled chicken salad with Italian dressing for her lunch. Resent her. Growl along with your stomach. Seethe. Stay away from the basement and the beer in the fridge. Flush the toilet that you fixed. Feel proud.
