Sounds valid to me.

Apparently we have to do that ourselves because it's better to deny something to all children if one person doesn't want it.

Tell me you don't understand when PoA is instituted without telling me.

Is that actually how it would play out or just the most ideal scenario?

So the artificial scarcity doesn't ring true to you?

They did give you two options. They didn't say those are the only two options.

Alright. Then why is it the national motto? What does the phrase mean? Why God? Why one god?

Nah, just general hypocrites.

Just to add to the conversation and be clear, this is book they want banned from children.

"-the novel tells the tragic story of Pecola Breedlove, an African American girl from an abusive home. Eleven-year-old Pecola equates beauty and social acceptance with whiteness; she therefore longs to have “the bluest eye.” "

A book about racism, written in the 1970's and set in the 1940's. It examines how white people and black people's lives were during those times and was inspired by the author's friend who, according to the author, loathed being black and wanted to be white. That's exactly why Arkansas wants it banned for children. They're terrified of people remembering the truth of our history and knowing how people are still racist today.

No, we're asking for the statistics you claim to have. What studies did you get these stats from?

Then give me the actual stats. Where are they?

Also more of you count in car maintenance and potential babysitting for slightly older children who can be alone for a couple hours after school, but are too young to truly be alone.

I also feel like people just get back a lot of time to themselves by not having to commute. My husband gets another hour at least with me and our children every day, maybe an hour and a half. Instead of only seeing them for a quick dinner and getting them ready for bed, they actually have that time to hang out and play. It's things like that, that are invaluable.

Do they still really do landline polls? No one I know has a landline anymore. My neighbor tried to get one and the phone company told her it wasn't possible.
