Hard to rise, and harder to fall: Poor college grads stay poor about as much as rich high school dropouts stay rich.

Violence works. Nonviolence does too.

I don't shop at Wal-Mart at all, and I don't shop on "Black Friday"--I'm just not into consumerism and corporatization.  I encourage everyone to enjoy a day off work (if you get one) and spend time (on your family, your friends, or yourself) instead of money this Thanksgiving weekend.  

I NEVER shop here anyway, but still, you shouldn’t either…
