(48,181 posts)I don't know how to make people be "not bigots" but I do know that we can prevent bigotry from wrecking people's lives, generation after generation. We made a start in the 60s and it got derailed first by Viet Nam and then by the Reagan Era. It is time to start up where the Great Society left off.

We have to figure out what to do because if we don't change how we do things we're going to have a growing number of people who have no income and no future possible besides starvation. What HRC is the candidate of existing and future trade deals that are basically a war-less coup by deception to globally lock away vast areas of policy, everything of economic importance, so that politics, things like Presidents and laws, cannot touch or change them forever - without paying huge sums of money for unknowable "lost expected profits" because it nullifies the sheer unconscionable nature of ignoring economic realities.
Example relating to health care of how that works.

(3,133 posts)tuition only. people act as if student will be housed, fed, books placed in front of them, all for free. It's tuition only.
Germany just opened up their free college to anyone in the world, stating they believe our future students are the most important. They say you can now come for free college. They also say, you still need a place to stay, live, and eat. And you must still purchase your books which can be very expensive, so many buy them used.
TUITION ONLY! Like most countries. free stuff.....this board sounds just like republicans or at least the opposite of Obama.
No we can't. Utter b.s.

You can always tell who got the talking points vs those that actually listen to what he says.
And that includes those in the msm - which is total incompetence for false reporting.
