I love how enlightened Mama is in the jail episode!

In the jail episode, Mama thinks,"People who are homeless are homeless of their own faults!" She is surprised when she sees her cousin Cora who lived in a good house is in jail because of foreclosure or something like that(I think her wealthy husband lost his job or something like that) and on a bizarre note another woman had a kid in there with her(a kid in there with her with her is so unlikely as a kid would just go to another relative or CPS). Mama is enlightened that even people who were living the good life could end up homeless if a job is lost.

Drake is repetitive. He just raps the same thing over and over as if he is in an insane asylum!LOL:D

IKR, it's like Mama went from Republican to Democrat! lol Generally a Republican sees someone down and out and they are like, "Well it's their own fault, they shouldn't have been so lazy or should have made better choices...not MY problem!" Whereas a Democrat will look at things with more compassion and won't really care how or WHY they got in that position and will want to help!

Sorry if that offends but in the words of my very socialist democratic grandpa, "I have NO USE for the tycoons!"

is it compassion or 'I don't want to rock the boat and be called a racist so I will just say what these people want to hear...'

I have personally known some very rude and disrespectful democrats. One lives right next door to me and actually calls black people mulignanes to their faces.

and there are too many able bodied people on the dole, thinking the system is there to pay for them and their bad choices. Precious isn't really fiction.

and not all republicans turn their noses up to those less fortunate. just use what you take and behave yourself.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.
