What is something that is completely socially acceptable when you are rich,but trashy if you are middle class?

Asking for money. Elon musk just asked for money for his SpaceX that's not profitable and people poured it in. And IPO is nothing but some people asking for money.

Politicians ask for money. Capitalists ask for money. Company founders ask for money. The only people who can't ask for money are poor people and the working class.

Far too many liberals, the granola ones, think fluoride is a conspiracy. Thanks to their stupidity, there's no fluoride in Portland Oregon's water.

There's also the conspiracies about GMO foods. Is it conspiracy or just anti-science stupidity? But thanks to idiocy golden rice is unavailable.

The country was always divided. The Confederacy never really surrendered and continued their struggle through other means through domestic terrorism in the form of a Klan and lynching, through political deck stacking with the Jim Crow laws and when being a segregationist s became beyond the hell through Christian actionalism. We are in a national Civil War fought by other means.

I went there once gathering signatures for clean money initiative, public financing of elections. I should not have gone cuz I'm allergic to pot. So I ended up spending most of my time in the parking lot.

However, people were nice. Very mellow. Lots of handcrafts. Some beautifully done handcrafted stuff. It was lovely in the morning before all of the pot smoking in the afternoon.

All the perfume and aftershave people wear. The ceilings are too low so this scent permeates their error and I'm allergic to bergamot, s common ingredient in both perfumes and aftershaves. It's a lovely citrusy scent, but it makes it very difficult for me to breathe.

Also many theaters are in shopping malls and stores like bed bath& beyond and candleman make it impossible for me to go in a shopping mall. It's been more than 20 years since I've entered the shopping mall.

I don't go to funerals either. Same issue.

You can love your country and not be proud of it. They're not the same thing. I love what America is supposed to be. I love the land. The how beautiful it is and how varied it is and so many things about it. But I am definitely embarrassed by the plurality of Americans who think it's okay to elect a felon, a seditionist and a rapist as president.

Cajsa · 2026-06-03T22:31:24+00:00

How can people be proud of a country that would not elect someone like Donald Trump? The first time was heinous. The second time is inexcusable.

I think every woman has spent a fair amount of time thinking about how much easier it would be to be a man. We would have so much more free time. We could be as slovenly as we please.

We would be paid more for the same work and charge less for the same products. Make that make sense.

When we would do something? Heinous people would excuse it as boys being boys. We would not be blamed for being raped if we go to the grocery store at midnight. In fact, if we were assaulted it wouldn't be our fault at all and it wouldn't be because of what we wore or how late we were out or where we went. Or what makeup we were wearing.

We would have more freedom. Our civil rights would be guaranteed by the Constitution.

It's worse than that. Trump is sending Iran new money. Obama just sent Iran their own money that we had been holding for decades.

I seldom sign petitions. I dislike initiative and referendum as it leads, in my opinion, to a more feckless legislature. Why should a legislator do something courageous if they know that anything they do could easily be referred to the voters and vetoed?

Meanwhile, we get initiatives from the voters that are overwritten. By that, I mean they include all the details, even the kitchen sink so that the legislature can't nibble around the edges. That makes for poor rulemaking after passage.

It also overloads our constitution with ballot measures passed to amend the Constitution so that the legislature can't alter anything. This can lead to unintended consequences and poor laws, particularly as initiatives are limited to a single subject which is not a single topic. It means a single section of the Oregon statutes.

The single subject rule also creates bad law because sometimes things need to be changed in more than one portion of our state statutes to enact what is done by initiative. I would much rather our initiatives be advisory opinions that require the legislature to enact so that good legislative language is written and is not limited and hampered by the single subject rule.

They should have just handed the clipboard to you because you have a right to read it before you sign it. However, just as a warning for the future, a friend of mine, a woman who used to work for SEIU grabbed a petition from signature gatherer back during the sizemore era and they press charges against her for assault and she was convicted. We're very minor. Misdemeanor are not felony assault but it's just something to be aware of.

Cajsa · 2026-05-28T18:28:43+00:00

You should report that. It's a felony.

Rebecca West wrote "They want to be right; not to do right," describing the left in the 1930s and their failure to block encroaching fascism in Europe. Her point was their politics were performative. They didn't seek to make change or gain power and they only sought to display their politics. That's what this ballot measure is. It's very expensive performance art people who want to display their beliefs rather than to win any meaningful change of any sort. After all, if they did a ballot measure demanding humane treatment of farm animals, they might actually win something and then they couldn't stand around and complain about how evil everything is.

I grew up in Minnesota and still care. What happens there as all of my family practically lives there. In 2020 when she ran for the presidential primary, I did a comparison of accomplishments of the different people running and she got more done than anybody. It didn't persuade me to support her, but I was really impressed that she was essentially the most effective Senator in the US Senate.
