    2016 Presidential Election Thread

    She really is quite a remarkable person. After the baking cookies clip, I started watching a 1994 bio on her through the related video wall. Her story is amazing - brought up in middle-class republican family in Park Ridge, Illinois. Was the first student to speak at her college's graduation ceremony and extemporaneously, after the preceding speech of a senator that exemplified everything she felt was lacking of political leadership at the time prompted her to abandon her planned speech. Then she went to Yale, followed by being on the 40 something team of lawyers, 3 of which were female, that investigated the Water Gate scandal. Gave up subsequent offers from top law firms in the country to move to Arkansan to be with Bill, who she met at Yale. And the work and achievements go on and on.

    She really should be running the show - extremely capable, bright and obviously passionate about doing good.

    Old Thatch was also responsible for CARE IN THE COMMUNITY (look it up) ....just sayin.

    That's actually a good thing. The problem is that it was a way for government to largely abandon responsibility and cost shift to community sector. But if funded adequately, having people at home and in their communities receiving community-based treatment and support rather than locked up in an institution is a far better outcome.

    However, you might be thinking of something in particular that happened with that reform?

    We went through a similar deinstitutionalisation in Australia, starting in the late 70s.

    Yes, I love it really that Madonna makes gaffes. Shows she is human and gets things wrong at times. Nothing to be ashamed of. She only deletes the things that she herself wants to. She never deleted the Rebel Heart cord pictures because she knew that there was nothing wrong with them and she could justify them completely to the PC crowd. This incident was different and personally, I think it shows a lot of class to delete it as she realized later that it had upset people and that was not her intention. Another reason why I like Madonna as a person because she tries to do the right thing, and has her heart in the right place, despite what people think.

    Well said. :clap:

    Seriously, how did the thread descend into this. :megamanson:

    Obviously Pud and Whoop have issues with Glinda... but there was nothing in her OP that warranted a personal attack. I don't see anything in it about being disappointed with RH chart positions, etc. She was just giving her opinion. I thought that was allowed here. :dazed:
