Is the US not part of the *GLOBAL* community? Epidemics need to be addressed at global scale, not national, HIV included. "When Germs Travel" is a good book that discusses this.

Moreover, implementing health care policy that is effective is a holistic way of addressing the needs of the many marginalized communities in this country. While the diverse communities that make up this country have their unique needs and concerns, the balkanization of politics will only destroy a campaign towards unity.

Since he is half white, does he have to prove himself to the white community too?

Or is that next week?

Do you have the questions for that session?

Or does he have to eat poi at the luau to show he is truly from Hawaii? Does he surf?

Didn't he grow up in Indonesia? How about he be tested on Gamelan instrument skills? We would want the Indonesian American community think that he was ignoring their concerns, would we?

I am happy everyone is so focused on these important matters and qualifications. I thank you for your vigilance.

That is scary considering the fire on the floor below you a few months back.

The super is useless - our fridge broke two weeks ago and nothing has been done.

Management is likely to evict you if you make a fuss.

The best thing to do is make sure you have a power strip with the right voltage capacity on it. Any major hardware store will have them. They are $$$, but cheaper than having to replace all your stuff.

Renter's insurance is also a good idea. Plumbing and the radiators are highly suspect in the building too.
