Some people say marijuana and alcohol are drugs of addiction.

Alcohol is very addictive, cannabis? Not as much.

True, but is still addictive for some people, especially young ones.

Taylor Swift concert in Austria...cancelled...ISIS attack threat.

ISIS = Islamic terrorists.

Simple.

Islamic terrorists...well they're not Jews and Christians.

People tried to tell the "Christian West"...but it wouldn't listen.
Tried to tell it that "everyone in the world is NOT a lovely person"
Oh well, it now has to lie in the bed it made for itself.
Sad really.

Trump tried to do something, by way of limiting immigration.
He was basically run out of town as racist and Islamaphobic.
He knew that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims in the world.
The Muslims burning Christians to death in bread ovens etc are bad ones...so are the ones invading Israel and burning Jewish families to death, raping and torturing to death Jewish women and girls.
Supporting is the same as doing.

I googled you and found out that you are a four headed alien named swindle who subsists on eating babies and dung.

The internet is wonderful for keeping one informed.

Kentucky is where all of the French Royalty and Aristocrats from France escaped to during the French Revolution. When Napoleon took over France, and when people were losing their heads, then the Royalty and educated people from France all came to Kentucky. And to New Orleans, etc.

People associate Kentucky with poor Coal Miners, but Kentucky is also where all of the French escaped to during the French Revolution. Kentucky is a cool place.

And I think I have the Bourbon / Capetian royal line in my family tree, who escaped from France to America, a French Princess who came to Kentucky, etc.

And Beshear is doing a great job right now, Kentucky is doing great right now, and they have a billion dollar surplus to use for education and for literacy programs, etc.

Kentucky is a cool place. And the Kentucky Derby is cool. There are lots of cool things about Kentucky.

Salute,

Kentucky has a $1 Billion surplus, with 4.5 million people, which equals $2,000 per person in Kentucky, so they can send everyone in Kentucky to community college for free.

Salute,

Easy, we can give them free meals at the community college while they are going to school. They can eat at the school. They can just copy the Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California, and they can send everyone to community college. Then they all get breakfast and lunch at the schools, etc, in the cafeterias, etc.

And the French like Chicken, so we can give them roasted chicken, etc, at the cafeterias, and roasted duck with mango sauce, etc. And Pasta, and Pizza, and Sandwiches, and Tacos, and Burritos, etc. And Yogurt, etc. They can eat good at the schools while they are attending community college to get their Associate in Arts Degree, etc. The schools can feed them, and that can be a reward of going to school, at least you can eat if you go to school. Then society will benefit from the rewards of having an educated population.

And the Basques can make Ice Cream, and can send Filet Mignon to Kentucky, etc, while doing fire prevention work with herds of cattle and sheep and goats, etc.

Salute,

A dumpster full of donuts...in America...
...was shown on Youtube the other day.
A lady held the lid up and showed viewers the very many packets of donuts just thrown away.
She pointed out that "they make too many donuts every day, don't sell them, and they just throw them out.
She was outraged, saying that they could be given to hungry/homeless people, and a food bank.
A very famous donut brand was on the packets.

Look at all the food wasted in America and other countries that could be given to the poor/the homeless/the hungry non-homeless/ working poor etc.

I mismanaged my finances in one fortnight recently, and we ran out of food, with no money to buy more food until pension payment day. We were hungry for one day.
It was horrible.
All my fault.
That won't be happening again

No one in America and its ilk should be going hungry.
It's the responsibility of state and federal govts to make sure that all citizens have enough to eat, and
are warm in winter and cool in summer.

Here in Anaheim the donut shops are owned by Vietnamese immigrants, and they are very nice, and they feed donuts and bottles of water to the homeless people. They are open 24 hours and the abused women can go there anytime and be safe and have coffee and donuts in a safe place. I could go there right now and get an Apple Fritter, and if I was poor they would give it to me free. They are very nice people.

And we have a restaurant, "The Olive Garden" and they feed pasta and sandwiches and soup to the homeless shelters, etc, and to the Mental Health Associations, etc. The Olive Garden is great.

And we have Chef Bruno who feeds homeless children and helps them to find homes, his book "The Power of Pasta" raises money to help the homeless children.

The schools can feed the students, and everyone in Kentucky can at least have a free Associate in Arts Degree from a good community college.

Homeboy Industries and Father Boyle can help to feed the students, they can teach Kentucky how to use the homeless and the former criminals to make food for the poor. They can teach the homeless how to become chefs, etc. The chefs can make Eggplant Parmesan for the students, etc, Mexico can send Eggplant to Kentucky, and Wisconsin can send cheese to Kentucky, etc. Homeboy Industries can make cheese, etc, and they can train chefs, etc.

The World Trade Center in New York City can organize everything to help the homeless people, etc, and to feed Eggplant from Mexico to poor people in Kentucky, etc, and to get the cheese, etc. They can get chicken from Tyson Foods in Arkansas, etc.

And Kiwanis International is Global, and they help people everyday all around the world.

Salute,

Tony V.

Everyone should...

Have dinner one night, at about 6pm. Say on 'Monday'.
Then...pretend there's no food in the house, not even a packet of biscuits.
Go to work next day, 'Tuesday'[pretending you have no money], or stay at home [pretending you have no money]...no meals allowed.
Miss all 'Tuesday' ....no meals allowed until breakfast 'Wednesday'...having received money and rushed to the shops/mall for food.

Gives an idea of what the hungry go thru...horror.
