Some Americans Lack Food, but USDA Won't Call Them Hungry - washingtonpost.com

Some Americans Lack Food, but USDA Won't Call Them Hungry - washingtonpost.com

Shame on the USDA This is insulting

There are millions of people who are homeless and starving and without enough food to feed their families and the USDA shamelessly now refers to them as 'very low food security.' To me and thousands across the country this sort of tactic is shameful. Whoever the uncaring individual is who came up with this dehumanizing phrase should be fired from his or her post immediately. I think we the American people need an apology for this disgusting terminology.
The needy and homeless are treated badly enough without heaping more insults upon them. I think that anyone who reads this disgusting and insulting terminology should speak up and demand an immediate end to this type of demeaning claptrap.
I'm mad as hell and you should be too.

Wisconsin bans Gay M

Wisconsin bans Gay Marriage
First of all I voted NO to the Gay Marriage amendment not so much for the Gay part of it but because of the second sentence which read that it will deny anything that resembles marriage for unmarried couples.

In my opinion, if you want to get married, then no one can stop you. It is not necessary for the Government to put their stamp of approval on it. It is between you and God, and that is all that matters. It is not about monetary benefits that come with government sanctification. Yes I do agree that those freebies are nice, but they are not necessary and may not even be wanted.

I personally don’t like marriage in any form. In my opinion it really sucks. Just look at the divorce rate for one. Then comes the bickering about who gets the TV and the furniture or the house. After that come the Kids. These are the ones I really feel sorry for. A lot of the time one parent plays the child against the other parent causing irreparable psychological harm to the child. The Kid feels bad because they think that they are the cause of the divorce. If that isn’t bad enough, parents act as though the child is some sort of property, not a human being with feelings, and fight for custody accordingly.

As far as I am concerned if the religious traditionalists want one man and one woman for their marriage, I say let them have it. I really don’t want any part of it. Does that mean I do not want to get married? Perhaps not in the traditional sense. That is my choice. If I make a covenant it is between us and God, not the government. I’ve lived sixty one years without a handout from the government. I think I can survive the rest of my life without them. Perhaps I’m an old curmudgeon, me and the government have never seen eye to eye anyway.
Ain’t that the truth?
