and I thought.... OH, they are? Sure could've fooled me.
That is all, today.

Go down to the health dept and ask the people that have sat there for 4 hours to barely get treated for what they went in there for whether they like sitting there for 4 hours to get treated, because I didn't like it at all!
Same people running the post offices, post offices that I've stood in line for 40 minutes just to buy a damn stamp! There is no reason a 44 cent stamp should take 40 minutes of my time!

It would take much more than his blatantly stupid choices for our country to bring about the impeachment in the first place... he would have to commit something that nearly everyone would consider treason. It wouldn't surprise me if he does do something that bad... and while i may think he is doing a lot of things that fall under that category, i'm not necessarily agreed with. I'm only viewing it from my point of view. technically i think he may not have done anything illegal or bad enough for the commons to consider it treason... so this is a very unlikely proposition, but not the most unreasonable.

I cannot help but be continually aggravated by surveys that ask what my RACE is, and continue to list black and white as some races to choose from. I am sorry to tell the general public but black and white are colors, not races. Regardless, the very fact that we recognize different races in a country where "all men are created equal" is absurd. Recognizing that people in this country are anything other than HUMAN or Americans only serves to continue a problem (RACISM as well as its many related problems) that we all acknowledge never should have been allowed to culminate in this country to begin with.
Almost all Americans are of mixed heritage and race, anyhow, so how can we claim to only be one of the many things we are? What is race anyway? Different people define it differently to the point that it has no specific meaning, only what a particular person decides it means to them. While some might base it on skin color, others may base it on where their ancestors were originally from, and others just define it as a group of individuals with shared interests or characteristics. Still others only consider that our species is our race.
I am the choice "other"
I am human, Homo Sapien.
I am American.

Weakening someone else's argument does not strengthen your own, it only seems like it to some eyes by doing a comparison. What needs to be done is extensive research and bring compelling evidence as to why the policies being proposed will a)not work b)be very bad, to simplify it. Then you must go through the process of getting your work nationally recognized, which can be tricky.

I am sorry to tell the general public but black and white are colors, not races. If we MUST use a color to describe a person, could we not at least use more accurate ones such as brown, tan, and peach?

I am a 22 year old female with a mix of British, German, possibly also Native American and French backgrounds. On a form, in the past, I would have just checked the "Caucasian" or "white" box and gone on about my business thinking there was nothing I could do and that I did not have the time to fight this issue, but I am tired of me and the people around me being labeled by skin color.
