I really disagree with you about the politic...Wow. I really disagree with you about the politicians. If a bunch of people ganged up and tried to stuff okra or green beans down your throat, and refused to listen in any way to what you were saying - that you really didn't want to eat that, could we have a different vegetable instead, could we put it in the blender and make a smoothie, please listen to me!! But they were intent on stuffing the okra down your throat, even if you choked and died from it. So do you think that running away could be a good option then? Maybe it would give them time to cool off and think about what they were doing?<br />The Republicans in those states were being bullies. They weren't interested in compromise. They weren't interested in adult conversation. They wanted what they wanted, and they wanted it now - just like little children. The voters are showing with recall petitions and elections that they agreed with the Democrats. Now Governor Walker is on the chopping block, and the Republicans hurriedly passed a bill to allow unlimited campaign contributions to him - so the election is going to be bought by the Koch brothers and other corporate interests. Do you think that they have your best interest at heart? Or are they just out to end regulation and oversight so they can rape and pillage the land, destroy your health and that of your family, leave you with rivers of fire, undrinkable water,and unbreathable air, just so they can amass more money, when it would be impossible to spend what they already have? Maybe you need to gather your information from more sources. Here is a great article that gives you lots of good places to start. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-11-22/news/30431182_1_fox-news-results-show-viewersJennifer Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03799640294806980763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2652884379971116653.post-19196798088240114572011-05-11T00:08:08.034-07:002011-05-11T00:08:08.034-07:00LOL - I think it was the "perfect storm"...LOL - I think it was the "perfect storm" situation that made okra disappear from my life. My baby sister was crying, my mom was trying to get us to eat dinner before the babysitter came, and she was trying to get herself ready for an all-too-rare date with my dad. I threw up the okra all over my dinner and into my milk JUST as the babysitter walked into the kitchen. I think it traumatized her enough that she never considered trying it again.<br /><br />I have to admit - I've only tried okra twice since then, both times as an adult, and I really don't care for it. Fried it just tastes like slimy breading, and unfried it's just slimy. Thankfully I'm able to easily eat all my other "yucky" foods from childhood, and even like some of them. :)<br /><br />I agree about the politicians. If anyone in the real world tried that with their job, they'd be homeless.Jennifer Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530705012021207245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2652884379971116653.post-83951424470779176262011-05-10T09:15:45.977-07:002011-05-10T09:15:45.977-07:00Your parents must have been more generous than min...Your parents must have been more generous than mine. I tried the throwing up trick with green beans on multiple occasions. All it meant was that I ended up eating COLD green beans instead of hot ones. <br /><br />Now that I've discovered fresh instead of canned, I eat my green beans.<br /><br />Oh - PS - I'm one of the Hooisers stuck with throw-a-temper-tantrum,run-away, you're-not-playing-fair politicians. If only I would have known that there was a career that allowed me to continue acting like a spoiled child and still make a boatload of money (for not working...). If I tried the run-and-hide policy when my boss did something I didn't like, I'd be out of a job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
