I said healthcare, but I really wanted to go for mass transit. In my view, car culture is one of our main problems. An incentive for people to live closer together would be nice. If more people had to stand next to less fortunate people, they might be forced to think about them instead of demonizing them.

I said healthcare, but if given the choice of more than one, I'd vote SS and Mass Transit too. Why does it have to be a choice in this country?! (not a stab at the poll, but rather at our governments)

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
