I have a retail store and a customer recently returned her cinnamon due to the fact that it was harvested in Northren Vietnam. I am not being sensitive to this issue by carrying this in my store? I'm not a big history buff, but I know that this amazing cinnamon is recently available after 25 or so years and I am not understanding the negative. Please help me understand!

We need to unite entire India on one platform to build a stronger nation. Sanskrit is the key to unlock the wealth of knowledge lying untouched for ages. Caste and religion will never unite India.

I'm just sick and tired of white people not getting any of the credit we deserve. Was there slavery? Yes there was because villages in Africa sold their own people. White people founded and built this country and I am sick of everyone deomonizing us. I think that we are discriminted against now and I think it's wrong. I don't think that blacks should have special rights just because they're black and I think that you know other people need to stand up and say, I'm proud to be white, why is that wrong? Aren't you proud of who you are?

Why is it that our own gov't officials can't be trusted. The Florida Congressman wwho sent sexually explicit e-mails to pages should be ashamed of himself & thrown in jail. Not to mention he was on some committee for missing and EXPLOITED children. If other gov't insiders knew of this, they need to go too. We should be able to trust our elected officials.
