Someone spoke of riots. When has this nation never experienced riots?

That is not possible with our zoning.

No "little bits" of land.

You have to have 400 foot of frontage.

That means at least 40 acres the way the township is plotted out.

Like I said, I wouldn't mind buying land in northern Michigan. And one can do many things with land.

I am not selling any land.

There is no way to buy near me.

We just bout the last 360 acres to the west.

BTW.........windmills do not work well in the woods.

Well, you would be a liar for them to see.

I have actually thought of what would happen if I applied to jobs with a black name like Jamal. In the IT field I imagine that would be a huge bonus to an employer being IT offices are usually so white and asian. My resume would be on the top of the list no doubt. They would be seriously disappointed when they saw me "oh. there was a typo on my resume, my name is John, not Jamal, sorry for any confusion."

Kind of like how Elizabeth Warren checked native american. "well my family always told me we were part native American, I didn't know better"
