All this hard white work, for so little return.
Edited on Tue May-13-08 04:26 PM by thunder rising
(DK) look for brooklynbadboy

It's its an interesting paradox...

This state (WV) is full of "hard working" white people, YET it is one of the brokest, least educated, most fucked up places in America.

Hmmmm.

I mean, if this is what having all white people doing hard work gets you, there must be absolute and total chattel slavery in wealthy and educated California. There must be back breaking servitude in growing and prosperous NYC. Oh...but those places have ethnic minorities, so they don't count.

(this was sooo funny I had to repost)

10. You know Obama will help the miners just as much as HRC would.
Why are you still fighting for a candidate you know can't win?

What's the point?

You're a better person than that.

Please do the right thing and unite with us for victory.

There's no good reason for you to still be attacking Obama. He never did anything to harm you.

13. Rude, but not totally off the mark
Edited on Tue May-13-08 04:56 PM by Terran
I live a state dominated by republicans and so of course we're a low tax, low services state that barely has a social safety net left. I'm from California originally and so it's clear to me *why* California is such an attractive place live, geography and weather aside, and why my adopted state really isn't. It's because the people who own and run this state are too cheap to invest in it, and really don't want a healthy well-educated well-employed populace anyway because those types tend to vote Democratic.
