"Our Hispanic community needs to understand how important the Social Security system is for not only its retired citizens, but also its disabled workers."
"It's not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots."

The second difference is the dress code- the ensembles at a fan convention tend to be considerably more novel."
