In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg.

I missed the questions and discussion re: mixed use public bathrooms..and will follow up when I get back later. From your comments looks like ti was a gotcha question from media once again. Remember the Pharasees did that with Jesus pretty often?
Couple hour nap was nice. CU all later at rally

When mother was in a wheel chair dad couldn’t go with her into a bathroom
When I took care of him the same issue. Love places like Home Depot who have “family” bathrooms. Daddy’s can help and supervise their daughter when together. The same for moms and their sons Changing tables and handicap assistant bars are available. Big box companies need to lead the way.
It has nothing to do with sexuality. It’s has to do with common sense
Thank you PJ.
We certainly would like him to but he reaches a lot of the young and independent voters on MSNBC. Some perhaps only have that station and for many other reasons.
Good for you to take the time to enjoy a distraction! Take care of yourself too, eat enough, sleep enough, laugh enough, cry enough.

And too, while the president has a bully pulpit, I don't see his attitude on this subject as controlling how society deals with it.
Manufactured or real, and whether it is a president's role or not, the issue is sitting on his plate today. I don't see any way it can help him, but I don't think it hurts him much, no matter which way he pivots.
My belated condolences and HUGS.
Have observed the same thing. Surely Jim is aware of it. The repetition of posting negative Trump threads was evident early this am too
I ALWAYS say that I am COLORED! Yes- white (I’m caucasian) is a color.
One of my favorite bands is DC Talk. Their genre is rap, rock, and soul.
Two white guys, and a black guy.

“Colored People”
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn’t help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
We’ve gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all
We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We’re colored people, and they call us the human race
We’ve got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist’s heart
By God’s design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
We’ve gotta come together,
Aren’t we all human after all?
We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We’re colored people, and they call us the human race
We’ve got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord’s
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy
We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We’re colored people, and they call us the human race
We’ve got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
We’re colored people, and they call us the human race
(Oh, colored people)
We’re colored people, and we all gotta share this space
(Yeah we’ve got to come together somehow)
We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted world
(Red and yellow, black and white)
We’re colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
(Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah)
