As a retired math teacher, gotta love the attempt to contextualize 40 million. That’s a helluva lotta people😢
40 million people - that's the population of Spain.

Shame on the richest country in the world.

Maybe your best tunes and toons ever! Thanks

Jane Elliott is well ahead of her time and a fascinating human being whose message needs to be heard now more than ever.
If you’ve never heard of her, do yourself a favor and check out some of her interviews online!
Bruce and Stevie! Very good selection of cartoons. Nice photo.
I love the bright colored houses. Why are ours so boring?
the story is, fishing town, men returning would always get drunk and then stagger home and only way they could ID their house was by color.......
Brilliant solution!
