The Green House Project envisions "homes in every community where elders and others enjoy excellent quality of life and quality of care; where they, their families, and the staff engage in meaningful relationships built on equality, empowerment, and mutual respect; where people want to live and work; and where all are protected, sustained, and nurtured without regard to the ability to pay."

• The Eden Alternative: "Aging should be a continued stage of development and growth, rather than a period of decline."

this choice? It just boggles my mind every time I think about it. Who the hell are these swing voters??

I keep hearing "Elections are won in the middle," "The only voters who matter are the swing voters," "Obama has to win the toss-up states," blah blah blah.

How about this? "We must get out the progressive vote so fucking hard that the idiots who can't decide between toxic, regressive cruelty versus honest, diligent competence become completely irrelevant."
