In article m,
C J Campbell wrote: How many citizens can only read/write Spanish? I am disturbed by the apparent assumption that any Spanish speaker must be an illegal alien. Are you suggesting that the question implied any assumptions? The vast majority of Spanish speakers in the US are citizens. A lot of them are descended from people who were living in what is now the USA long before the Mayflower ever got here. It really is ignorant not to know that. Spanish, like English, is an imported language. I'm, in part, a descendent of people living here way before Spanish or English arrived. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

I submit that it is your brand of ambiguity toward the proper role of
our government that has led to our current situation. We differ fundamentally on what is wrong with "our current situation". Jose -- Humans are pack animals. Above all things, they have a deep need to follow something, be it a leader, a creed, or a mob.

I'll take freedom ... the freedom to stop participating in the Social Security system and get all the money I have paid in back so I could be allowed to invest the way I want to. I assure you I'd be much better off in the long run. But alas, I have no such freedom to do that. It can't be done, because all the money you've put into the system has already been given to someone else. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Power will always fill a vacuum, and as long as there are citizens who think "Oh, well, it would be nice if the governent would fill in the blank for us", we will be ever-more restricted. I fear this type of insidious encroachment on our freedoms far more than any overt moves by Homeland Security. Just because it is overt doesn't mean that it is harmless. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I do believe you have put your finger on what is so bitterly dividing our nation today. Not only can't we agree on the solutions, we can't even agree on the problems. :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

than any overt moves by Homeland Security. Just because it is overt doesn't mean that it is harmless. True, but at least I can fight what I can see. Most of what has happened to destroy freedom in America has occurred bit by bit, incrementally, over a fairly long period of time -- and (worst of all) has been done by people who think they are helping. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Not only can't we agree on the solutions, we can't
even agree on the problems. Wiser words were never spoken. If we can't define the problem, no solution will work. Jose -- Humans are pack animals.
