"One of the reasons more young women are giving birth out of wedlock and more young men are walking away from their paternal obligations is that there is no longer a stigma attached to this behavior, no reason to feel shame."

Yeah, the same thing used to be said about bribery. Now, it's "speech".

I've had enough nutty landlords (including one who blamed me for shorting out my oven by putting aluminum foil in it!) that rent/own feels like a wash. Slight edge to owning. At least I can paint my walls whatever color I please and yell things about how I'm a property owning taxpayer at city council meetings if I ever really lose my mind.

Oh, and drywall? I'm working with plaster walls over here. It eats drill bits for breakfast and no one knows how to repair it anymore.

Pardon my ignorance, but not being a Floridian, I've never heard of flakka. Is that yet another nickname for flake (cocaina) or some new drug which hasn't yet infested NYC?

Ya see, at first glance I read that as: "One shark died. The others are on fire." And I thought: "Now that's Florida!"

See, good things do happen in Florida every once in a while.

It is not a good thing if it follows a far worse thing.

BTW, those sharks? Any lasers?

Of course! See, in that case she would be trying to "relate to the black experience" not "patronize the darkies."*
