I am not a racist.
Sock of shit... I am not Gay.....
In the 70's, the civil liberties Union did some very strange things..
They supported the right of Nazi's the demonstrate which I have
a very deep dislike for Nazi's...Have had trouble with them up here.
Anyway.....They also said to the state of California, if you can not pay the mental health patients
a minimum wage they can not work at the state hospitals.
The state hospitals took away all the jobs of the mental health patients.
Some of the patients wanted to work for free, they were being paid below
minimum wages, but it gave them dignity and a sense of purpose. There
food and room and board was paid for by the state and I thought it was very
important for their therapy as well. What does all that mean...some times the
rules don't always work.
I am an American and will take issue with any injustice...especially racism.
Does not mean I have like sock of shit or hate Maggie or Nona..
This is my choice...Worry about Mysrable...that is a full time job.

Maggie Kuhn (August 3, 1905 - April 22, 1995) was an American activist known for founding the Gray Panthers movement in 1971 after being forced into retirement by the Presbyterian Church. The Gray Panthers became known for advocating nursing home reform and fighting ageism, claiming that "old people and women constitute America's biggest untapped and undervalued human energy source."
