my biggest complaint is not allowing children to see a presidential speech, even parts of it. How will they even be interested in how our system works if they can't view it and be taught about it? What happened to Civics or Government classes?
Ditto on the media. It's slanted. The Bill's up and I've been looking at it off and on and pondering it since buddies from another site posted the link. There're some things in there that I would debate but, taken as a whole, it's a workable beginning to what has been an enormous problem for us. Most likely will be amended should it pass. It's good to read from the source material.
My experience, especially the last year, with the housing insurance industry fuels my desire for reform, not to mention the disparate treatment of sistas with bc, depending on if they have insurance or not. Equality shouldn't be something we talk about, it should be something we practice in our country.

For those who might be late comers to this board, Dory was a poster who we will remember as one who gave of herself so others survivors might smile. She always kept this board moving with her inspirational poems, jokes and riddles. Most will give Dory credit for energizing this board. She was an inspiration to everyone on this board. In that spirit, let us
continue to post in Dory’s memory so she might smile down on us and give us the same inspiration. Therefore, we have named the board, Dory's Board, in her memory. 11/11/01 (Dory was the first to call attention to the significance of 9/11, re: WTC tragedy, i.e. 911 for emergency). Let me be the first to note all the ones in the above date, indicating she was No. 1 on our board.
