“Trying provides two excuses,
an excuse for not Doing.
and an excuse for not Having.

Now doesn’t that sound like your AFFIRMATIVE ACTION baby Robert? He never had to worry about not “Doing,” or not “Having” because our government provided for him because he was a white male.

While the rest of us were left to “trying” to make ends meet the best we could.

Like the republicans today who put down government while receiving Social Security, tax breaks, government business subsidies, Veterans care, Medicare, and a host of other government services designed to protect us from the companies that operate on the business policy of – make a billion by cheating or poisoning the American people and pay a tenth of it in fines and pocket $900,000,000 in profit – they put down “trying.”

From their perspective maybe they have a point. Why try when they have rigged the system to allow “Doing” and “Having” only for themselves.

It was a wonderful read. I recommend it to all women and teens. There was a bit of racism in there. But it was another example of how the real world is. I did not like it, but at least she was honest about what was said.

The sexual descriptions were, how should I say it? Take that Guys – for all the times you described us as a piece of meat.

Oh the guys will bitch. And they will undoubtedly get a few less thinking women to go along but it was DUE and it was Good.

Good for you Karen and so good for you disgusting guys who not only kiss and tell but stoop to kissing and degrading because of your inadequacy in the meat department.

Hmmmm, loved it.

PS. you go Robert, eh mother?

PSS: Somebody had a nice time at their reunion.

My parents suffered in much the same way you described at the hands of bigoted whites her in the state of Washington.

We “chinks” as they like to refer to us as should go back to China. That is their excuse for using their governmental positions to conspiratorially deprive my parents and other Chinese American citizens of their rights to the same services and benefits they enjoy from our tax paying.

I congratulate you on your commitment to voicing the anger of all of us who can not do it ourselves.

But should that prevent me from enjoying the obvious good time it seems the folks had with our blog host present?

No, a resounding NO! Yet, I read and read and no response. How much longer must I wait?

Like with the Zen Lill scraps of delight, the tease goes on.

Well Michelle?
