You'd think that if there was anyone who was in a position to see the long-term effects and harm of over-eating smoking, it would be nurses, yet the double-cheeseburgers and fries are popular items in the commissary. 3john2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05359114327414576258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-62138375720636822492016-06-28T17:48:23.396-05:002016-06-28T17:48:23.396-05:00Mark--I have at times.

The distribution of weights at Wal-mart is just strikingly different than anything I've seen anywhere else.<br /><br />Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-21212814190686159202016-06-28T16:05:39.073-05:002016-06-28T16:05:39.073-05:00I'm guessing that most of the unemployables ar...I'm guessing that most of the unemployables are not only currently receiving government checks, but have been made unemployable by long dependence on such. Most immigrants, OTOH, want to come here to work, whether they find it or not. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-88130793375705238072016-06-28T16:00:23.616-05:002016-06-28T16:00:23.616-05:00I'm thinking the Wal-mart shoppers carrying 15...<i>I'm thinking the Wal-mart shoppers carrying 150 extra pounds of fat and such--you see them at Wal-mart, but where do they work, if anywhere?</i><br /><br />Why don't you ask them?<br />Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-34257234396984083812016-06-28T14:51:42.240-05:002016-06-28T14:51:42.240-05:00I understand the frustration with immigration bein...I understand the frustration with immigration being more or less unlimited, but it strikes me as well that we have a huge problem with a lot of people being more or less unemployable.

I don't think there is that much stomach for a third Obama term, and Bernieville doesn't hold that much charm for people-- the vast majority-- who think the US is already headed in that wrong direction. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-76988174579635068812016-06-28T10:08:34.557-05:002016-06-28T10:08:34.557-05:00"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governme..."Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."<br /><br />We are reaching the insufferable level - especially the insufferable hubris. 3john2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05359114327414576258noreply@blogger.com
