Why can't we talk about just BULLYING is wrong for any reason? It doesn't matter if it's about sexual orientation or just because you are in the new kid in school. It's wrong, and teachers/educators/parents don't do enough about it.

There is already agricultural development. Why not allow destination development? What is so great about agriculture? Pesticides, antibiotics, polluted runoff into our rivers, farm machinery, exporting to other countries, use of illegal immigrants to compete with world wide produce prices, I don't think agriculture is such a great business to protect.

I am white, from Austin Tx, and when I'm talking to white Oregonian friends here, they always look down on being from Tx and say "well we never had slavery here in OR". And there is an attitude of, we don't have to do anything more, for race relationships because we didn't have slavery here. I feel that I had more meaningful relationships with people of color when I lived in Tx. People of every color are everywhere in Tx, it is very diverse there. Not like here, I feel like I'm in white bread country here. Can the guests comment on their experience with this attitude here.
