Might Cynthia Nixon's whopping 16-point increase have something to do with her Tweeting about wanting to legalize recreational marijuana?

I am not unidealistic about voters, but I also worked in a pharmacy for 2 1/2 years.  There is nobody so glued to the phone as a drug addict; it is incredible how mellow people aren't when they're calling a pharmacy every few minutes to ask if their doctors have authorized early refills for addictive substances.

I would not be surprised if people who have never voted for anything before, and who will never vote for anything again, are the people who are voting to legalize recreational marijuana.

Spend 24 hours in homeless shelters.  You will never think that drugs are harmless, glamorous or funny again.

I have said this before; irritation is perhaps not the right word for me to use to describe my feelings about privileged people, who have access to the most pleasant and respectful rehabilitation and psychiatric facilities and who don't know anyone else who has ever had a drug problem who hasn't had access to those same facilities, advocating for recreational drug use.  Irritation is a euphemism for how I feel about that.

This picture was a joke about me, wasn't it?

This is another page from which what I wrote vanished from the page when I tried to publish it.   I have to write it all again.  I am outside, in the cold.  I can pay more money, to buy something and be indoors so I can write the page again, or I can stand outside in the cold and try to remember everything that it already took me half an hour to write.  While I figure out what I should do, I'll add the address for the term "Orange is the New Black original promotion" at the Images section of Google.  That's the picture that the title of this page is talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+Is+the+New+Black+original+promotion&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLpNeBkavaAhXE1IMKHS3wDW0Q_AUIESgB&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=w6jZASmCt6OFiM: White people.  Black people.  Latino/a people.  Asian people.  People of all races and religions.  Young people.  M...

This article is one of the few Google results for "North Korea" today that doesn't immediately blame President Trump for everything; it does that later, even after paragraphs that seem to prove that the problem is China.

I don't tend to think that I'm particularly educated, and it is upsetting that being relentlessly targeted for harassment and other abuse has prevented me from being able to obtain advanced degrees and start a professional life. However, my perhaps uneducated opinion about the Councilor's remarks is that I think that the U.S. and Chinese governments are understanding each other.
