Numbers say a lotI'm glad to see there's census coverage and that you're covering some of the basics and issues. I hear people say they don't understand why the census is important and I think they should read these stories. It doesn't matter what culture or race they're from, the numbers translate to dollars and in this economy we can't overlook any type of funding. Thanks Spot.Us. Look forward to learning more.on: Count Yourself In California |

cool topicFrom reading your pitch, I really like this idea and I'm especially interested in how international borders influence the claiming process. This would be a very useful story for people outside the U.S. to read, particularly folks from neighboring countries, so they understand the process and how to get bodies back when they need it. Thanks for your research.on: Unclaimed Kin in Los Angeles Piling Up |

We all need different perspectivesIt's very important that people who are perceived as "outsiders" or whites in a non-white atmosphere get a chance to immerse in a situation and view it with different eyes. Men will see things differently than women. Young women maybe view a situation differently than older women, you know what I'm saying... Young, professional men will see it differently than blue-collar workers who are older men. Non-Latinos will see it differently than Latinos. And really, within the Latino group, Mexicans might have a different view than Cubans and Cubans might think differently than Salvadorans. That's what makes all of us so interesting and more people should try writing about us and we can try writing about it too. I think everyone needs their own chance to share what they see. This is what they see and they're not pretending to be someone else they're not. I can appreciate your raw observation and emotions. If I live in my co-worker's home for 6 months, I'm thinking I will see the family situation differently than my co-worker or my co-worker's cousin, and I might be shocked by some things like what they eat or how they keep the place clean or dirty, or surprised by the kids' table manners or not having any manners or the strict holiday customs. Man, this is normal. It's based on the different relationships we have with the co-worker's family or our background. I appreciate the Spot.Us model while we keep having business layoffs and media layoffs. This is a good sampling of stories to select from, I will recommend it to my friends.
