...[B]lack women who are 25 to 54 and not in jail outnumber black men in that category by 1.5 million....For every 100 black women in this age group living outside of jail, there are only 83 black men. Among whites, the equivalent number is 99, nearly parity.

ReplyDeleteYeah, my insurance company sent me a letter that they wouldn't cover doggie damage anymore. I don't have any pets, so I don't care, but I found it amusing. Down, Cujo, down!
DeleteGlad you're back. From your post on Monday I wasn't sure that you would be.
ReplyDeleteThen who would write this site, lol? Besides, there are escorts in Tel Aviv to be had, I've heard.
DeleteThat is an extremely smart written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and
ReplyDeletereturn to learn extra of your useful information. Thank you for the post. I will certainly return.

Here's a fun fact for our host--the anti-malware and spam software at my work has blocked his blog as a "malicious site." I wonder if allowing spam comments like this one contributed to that categorization. It's that, or the company providing the software has this site confused with the Hipcrime spam program, or my workplace is engaging in some restriction of my computer activity by blocking sites they disapprove of. I don't like any of my guesses.
DeleteBut this *is* a malicious site, lol. Seriously, I don't know what to do about all this spam. But at least I know where to find a good time the next time I'm in Tel Aviv.
DeleteWell, it certainly is a subversive site, which means your name for it is truth in advertising. As for what to do about it, I delete and hide a lot of spam after mocking it thoroughly. Only the most creative or on-topic spam stays. It's gotten to the point where spammers read my snark and delete their spam comments before I have a chance to. Saves me the trouble that way.
DeleteI'm going to share two links on the nature of money, a topic you explore, before I move on. The first is to a scholarly paper on money as a legal institution.

The second is a blog post that summarizes and comments on the paper.

You might find them interesting or at least useful.
BTW, I got them from Nebris. I'm surprised he didn't share them with you first.
I just gave your blog a plus one and shared it on Google Plus. Here is the comment I included with the share: "I follow this blog, which began within days of mine, follows many of the same topics, and shares the same theme for its name--a reference to an off-screen character in a science fiction book about overpopulation. Mine is from "The Mote in God's Eye." Chad's is from "Stand on Zanzibar." Now all I need to to is find a blog that makes such a reference to "Make Room, Make Room," which is better known as "Soylent Green.""
ReplyDeleteTime to look for such a blog.
