I ...There are many citizens who abuse living here.<br /><br />I don't have answer to the issue, but Thomas Jefferson did coin the phrase (to be a bit vernacular), "All men are created equal." <br /><br />We've had problems with neighbors, serious ones...and none are immigrants.<br /><br />When protesting the war in Vietnam, my father, a very liberal Democrat and Pulitzer winner, asked me the solution. As in the issue of immigration, I've none either...but at the beginning of the day, we're a nation of immigrants.<br /><br />It is a remarkably challenging issue, but in my mind not nearly so challenging as poverty these days, as well as war and racism.refugee from reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764323487070601177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659529185836289346.post-6734484920547786612010-05-03T20:21:20.709-07:002010-05-03T20:21:20.709-07:00Hi Adam. You are entitled to your very own opinion...Hi Adam. You are entitled to your very own opinion and that's what you are supposed to do. I feel like people who are immigrants should be allowed in our country but sometimes they abuse it. I'm speaking from personal experience. I have some neighbors that are Mexicans and they have been giving us some problems since we've been living in this community.

It's genetic: Years ago, in the late 20s my Dad won a Pulitzer for stories he wrote resulting in sending a governor to jail for his association with the KKK.<br /><br />Perhaps with age (67) I am becoming far too cynical. On the other hand, I see very little change: The rich continue to get richer; the poor, poorer; and we're still at war.refugee from reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764323487070601177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659529185836289346.post-58722273812612426202010-05-01T09:10:49.261-07:002010-05-01T09:10:49.261-07:00I'm really starting to get nervous when I thin...I'm really starting to get nervous when I think about it too much. <br /><br />Your idea about the separate restrooms seems likely.

Given the Hegelian cycle of history, who knows, Arizona may reinstate "Separate But Equal" restrooms, assuming the economy allows it to build new ones.refugee from reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764323487070601177noreply@blogger.com
