in changing tis from a diet blog to a political views one?
There is the Korean missle crisis, the poor economy, the risisng unemployment rate, and so on and so on.
In local polotics, Mayor Sam Adams has said he will not take a pay raise. He may be a liar, but he’s decent enough to say that other people are doing without and so will he. He admits it’s a token gesture, but I have to say that he just went up a couple notches in my opinion. With the Oregon unemployment rate at 12.1%, it’s the least the politicians can do. Randy Leonard, on the other hand, says he will take the pay raise. Shame on him. He’s dropped a couple notches in my opinion. So, yes, it is a token gesture, but make the token gesture, do they realize how hard it is out here for the rest of us?
