Literally me right now
Carrie: I'll ask the question on every Sleater-Kinney fan's mind right now: Reunion?

"GMO labeling" is code for anti-GMO; GMOs pose ZERO risk to consumers and labeling them implies that they are not safe and will lead consumers away from these products which are vital to the future of agriculture. Bernie's position is in opposition to the greater scientific community.

Bernie's view that alternative medicine should be provided by the VA does a disservice to our veterans.

Do you think that there is too much emphasis on the Cheltenham Festival in Anglo-Irish steeplechasing? I'm just an American jumps fan but I've noticed that British horses seem to race just a couple times and then take several months off to stay "fresh" for the festival. It reminds me of the Breeders Cup over here - fans and trainers focusing on a few days and ignoring the rest of the season.

How can we combat the increase in far-right wing parties (many of which have ties to neo-Nazis, and use coded anti-Semitic language while claiming to merely be anti-Israel) in Europe? Whenever there's economic or social turmoil there seems to be a corresponding rise in anti-Semitism, it gets kind of tiresome after a couple thousand years of dealing with it.
I also want to apologize for the rudeness and shoutiness on display in this thread. People have forgotten how to be disagree and still be polite.

There's actually a thing about the wigs not being too realistic so that people can tell you're wearing one and not accuse you of breaking the rules.
