What is leftest about organic, local and bulk food at reasonable prices?
I wonder what the "special menu" is? Don't they know that to serve ethnic foods is to invite stereotyping of people?
I should know because not long ago a local grocery store made the mistake of having some kind of sale in honor of (Black History Month, MLK Day, take your pick) and offered fried chicken as part of the sale.
Geez, you would've thought the KKK was on the march after the local libs and the press got done excoriating them over it.
I would not mind.
If you decide to go to this, I'll work with you to get a recipe that can kick their Loud Mouth Liberal Fat A$$! ....LOLOLOL
Auughh! That poor girl!
I have a ranch in the Texas Hill Country and an Electrical Co-Op powers it. The price we pay for electricity is the lowest in the nation and we have even received rebates from the electric co-op. When I was a student at the University of Texas I bought my books and supplies at the University Co-Op and would receive a rebate check at the end of the year. While at the University I lived in a Housing Co-Op where the residents owned the house, developed a budget and voted on the amount of rent we had to pay.
Am I a socialist or do I just pay less for goods and services than most other people?
I guarantee you the classes and activities you listed would not be offered at Calvin! If you can't stand the odor then get out of the barn!
Another STRONG conservative college to consider is Hillsdale College here in Michigan.......
Best of luck to you!
