maybe dental, too? or you can whittle wooden dentures like George Washington had, lol. I agree more than not, we both want a better community, that's what counts.

curious- by feeding ourselves, does that mean you are against SNAP for the poor or did you mean we should grow more, have gardens, etc. And I am pro National Endowment for the Arts, that money is needed to sustain or improve cultural offerings. I don't know if many Americans care much about the arts after seeing that statistic that 80% of adults NEVER read a single book after college. Totally judging, but if you never, even by accident, read another book, I doubt your supporting the opera by buying season tickets. You can flame me, that was mean and I didn't really mean it. Frankly, that statistic scares me more than anything political, I don't know if I can exist in a world where 80% of the people never read. How do you find the other 20% to talk about books? I have to snopes that statistic, that cannot be true
