1. Spot on. look at her proposals. All directed at helping

people.

[NurseJackie]

5. Just one of the reasons why I think Hillary is better prepared for the office than Bernie...

... she's got MY vote!

[NCTraveler]

6. +1 nt.

[Little Star]

10. I believe she is exactly who we need next.....

Go Hillary!!!

[Punkingal]

2. Yeah, he's also talking about how they met, etc. and how wonderful she is.

Too bad he couldn't treat her with more respect in their marriage.

[riversedge]

11. They are together as a family and it is their business. drop the snarky posts about

their marriage please.

[Punkingal]

18. She deserved better treatment from him.

[leftofcool]

15. snark much?

[Robbins]

22. I am man

and think it's bad idea for him to be talking about how they met and how wonderful she is when he cheated on her reportly repeatly.

[Punkingal]

24. It doesn't make me all teary-eyed and sentimental.

I think he treated her shamefully!

[MissDeeds]

33. True

Unfortunately his actions didn't support his words.

[NCTraveler]

3. Yes, she is. It's a beautiful thing to watch. nt.

Obviously he has standing since he reduced it during his term.

7. I wonder if Trump isn't the only one living in an alternate reality...

... or maybe people are just forgetful! I'm looking forward to having Hillary as the president. She's got MY vote!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Here are graphs of African American and Hispanic unemployment by year

That goes a long way to explain why Hillary is doing so well among those groups

[NurseJackie]

12. It certainly does, Ollie!

[Human101948]

8. This is the right wing view of how to solve inequality...make the pie bigger!

Of course the pie has gotten a lot bigger in the past 30 years and the middle class has not benefitted at all and is actually going backwards.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. So is that why Hispanic and African American American unemployment and poverty was at its...

So is that why Hispanic and African American American unemployment and poverty was at its lowest level in a generation during Bill Clinton's tenure?

[Human101948]

30. Playing the race card? Overlay that on a chart of white employment--those groups made no progress

relative to their usual standing in our society.

14. The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.

The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same. Marie Beyle (Schopenhauer)

[jberryhill]

17. In what way do the interests of a shepherd and sheep diverge?

Just sort of curious about the literal aspect of that.

If you are raising sheep for wool, then your interests seem to be minding the health and well being of the sheep, and seasonally shearing them.

I'm not aware of too many wild herds of sheep, so they apparently don't do well on their own.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Lamb chops? Mutton?

I rather doubt that the sheep are terribly enthusiastic about be shorn or being killed and having their body parts consumed by shepherds (or, anything else).

Think we could safely call that a divergence of interests.

[jberryhill]

25. Some are quite enthusiastic about being shorn

...because they have been selectively bred to produce a buttload of wool, and if not shorn they become incapacitated eventually by a huge thick mat of it. It's like believing dairy cows don't like to be milked.

But please note that I said If you are raising sheep for wool...

Sad sheep:





Would you like to walk around blind and overheated all summer?

Happy sheep:





Furthermore, revenue from the wool keeps the farm running. No farm, no sheep. The well-being of the sheep is coupled to the well-being of the shepherd.

My comment was furthermore specifically directed to sheep raised for wool. But without protection from wolves, it really makes no difference whether they are raised for meat, since absent the shepherd they are going to be a meal sooner than later.

Now, a word about alpacas...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

27. I think Schopenhauer was referring to the ones being shepherded to the abatoir.

I suppose he could've used cattle and cowboys.

[jberryhill]

28. Still... I'll bet Schopenhauer wasn't a vegetarian either

There are not many wild sheep (I imagine there are some mountain relatives of them, but I am not a zoologist).

Given that wolves and other predators would make quick work of sheep, the shepherd certainly seems like the less of two evils, since the wolves are not going to wait around and fatten them.

If you ever visit New Zealand, you'll rapidly get the impression the sheep have a pretty good deal. They practically own that country.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. I'll remember that when next I have a lamb chop.

But, Schopenhauer was really referring to people being led by "leaders" to the slaughter.

16. We know he has no problem lying to the american

19. Hillary's campaign is about Hillary.

[CharlotteVale]

21. Nailed it.
