| Never thought of PPR as a super-progressive forum (as any thread about feminism will attest to), but then again I'm an actual social democrat so I am left of most American reform liberals. |

Does rural California not realize that the role urban centres play as economic engines?! |

| Why didn't you become a spook Raptor? I sometimes wonder if Raptor is really some sort of undercover Chinese or North Korean agent. He's so right wing he seems such a try-hard. I think Raptor more or less admitted to trolling once (essentially, doing stuff to get a rise out of "liberals"). And we a... |

| My favorite thing about Wal-Mart is the DVD trough. It's just a giant pit full of discount DVD's. Like, there's no way to look at what they have for sale without abandoning your dignity.
