Ah! My bad. Always leaving room for—maybe I’m wrong. Even though I was pretty sure I was right. (Missed it in the article.)

I’ve had to do daily fascia stretching since menopause. Who knew? Felt like my whole body was tightening up.

Fascia injury. And it takes time to repair because you keep reinjuring when you walk.

Yes, that’s what I said. (Nursing home being long term care home)

He should be able to choose to live in a nursing home. (Assisted living.) (I’m sure that’s an option as well.) the issue is that he no longer needs the hospital and they need the bed. This is an issue for the elderly as well. Hospitals are setup for emergency care only, not long term care.

We do have to trade with them on some level.

Slavery is alive and well in the for-profit prison system.

I do agree with this. But the party needs some energy ffs. America is in a fight for its very existence and only a handful of democrats are even raising their voices. They need youth and energy. There’s no fight in this crew.

We have no clue because the democrats, except for a handful, appear to be doing nothing while America burns to the ground. A strongly worded letter isn’t going to cut it.

People did like that! But before that the liberal polling numbers were awful. I don’t think he would’ve won though.

He is a Martin type liberal. I believe both are right for their times. I’m not happy with the border bill. But we’ll see what’s next. He will definitely be right of Trudeau. But that’s what Canadians wanted—right of Trudeau.

How so? Are you giving him a chance, or is the verdict in? Any liberal leader was going to be right of Trudeau. (I liked Trudeau but apparently the country did not.)

Trudeau took the liberal party left. I’d say carney is more like Martin.

I don’t see why one person can’t be the official agent for many. There’s nothing unconstitutional about that.

I used this book to quit as well. But I also used the nicotine patch to deal with the cravings.

At one time, I smoked a pack a day. Can’t imagine paying that much daily! I think I quit around $7 a pack.

Sounds awfully political…

And that’s another failure of American democracy. There needs to be separation between church and state.

Agreed. Institutional religion is a force to control the masses. I used to think science made America great. It’s hard to watch it bending towards superstition and theocracy instead.

But people have sanctified the wealthy, held them up as moral leaders when they are the exact opposite. The almighty dollar has replaced Jesus.

Oh 💯!

Yes, democracy does depend on appealing to man’s better nature. America lost its soul. Reagonomics.

When the richest society in the world doesn’t provide basic healthcare, you understand that their society is built on a moral failure to begin with.
