Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
I generally go grocery shopping every 2 days, but it's just me that I'm buying for. I do this for mainly three reasons: when I buy enough for the week a lot of food tends to go to waste, I live on the top floor of an apartment and hate making more than one trip carrying in the groceries (though I can probably carry twenty bags in one trip if I really wanted to), and I like to be spontaneous with my meals (I'm always experimenting in the kitchen). When it comes to stuff like TP, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, scotch, etc, I usually just buy in bulk so that I only have to buy more maybe once or twice a year.
ReplyDeleteObviously, with a multi-person household this may not work as well (esp. when it comes to children).
