awesome! great stuff. And kudos to Mom! Gotta love when they help out!

nuts and balls!

Me thinks it comes down to money for the states. Who do you think is educated using state paid teachers at the schools? Immigrant children--yet I don't know how much % wise. How much in taxes are their parents paying these states? There is commerce, so there is some money going on to contribute to the coffers. How many of you know teachers in rural Eastern Washington towns? I know a couple...and both grade school teachers have trouble teaching their english speaking children as it is with 40% immigrant children. And these families are using up local funds for health care. Not always state funds, but county funds too. They are contributing to commerce like I said, so there is movement of some money but it is not direct. Like I said, I think it comes down to money, and the media is just hyping it to be something else. Less immigrants means less money for the state to spend on.

that is so cool! I love the konga line picture of hauling the thing up the slope!

we shall see at about 7:00p.m. on June 29. If they did well in the previous three weeks from there, then, I would say maybe.

I know of a family nearby me. They eat at the McDonalds down my ways a lot...and I do mean a lot. They are not as educated as many people, however the biggest culprit I can see in my limited view is their "laziness". It takes work to make meals and take care of your house. I can see they do not like to work at improving things much. They do watch a lot of TV too.

a lot of uneducated people eat there. not my fault....but I will be paying for it through Medicare taxes in the future!

Arresting comes AFTER they commit the crimes. Why not prevent the crimes ahead of time? Yes, it is all "Minority Report" stuff. Nothing aint perfect. I want more hookers and blow too.

wouldn't the logical extension of that idea though deny medicare to cigarette smokers and eaters of big macs and couch-potatoes? Yes. And I want more hookers and blow.

It is the same philosophy as neighbors and those living downstream. What am I to do if my neighbor decides to constantly blare music after midnight when I am asleep? What if I live downstream on the creek and my neighbor decides to dump toxic chemicals in the water? Personal choices are fine...like drug use...except when the users of those personal choices affect others. Meth was a classic example of how excessive drug created people to steal from others, and used the medical system--and not pay for the service. Ron Pual with that particulr statement IMO did not look at the bigger picture of how it affected others

you make us look pathetic! that first shot is "k2"-ish. great stuff!

thanks for the rememberance!

The danger will still be there for Germany. Why? France will keep its nuclear energy...and then probably sell it to the Germans.

A friend of mine bought a bag of chocolates from a grocery outlet. Expiration date thing. We ate them....well just one. They tasted like gasoline.

About something along the ivy line. Ivy is considered a weed in Portland...they grow fast..and cling and climb to trees amazingly fast. "Hedera helix" is the latin name for English Ivy. or Kudzu. This stuff is fast, fast, fast ivy.
