I am have intimately experienced many cultures, I am very accepting of
indians and chinese, and mexicans, but always usually the aristocrats of
each culture, the poor mexicans coming up here with no education or
training are hard for me to bond with. I would rather they stay home in
mexico and take the jobs or learn good american english and and our ways
before they come here, current immigration policy just needs to be
enforced better.

I wish more lefties understood this and quit wasting mine and your tax

We lost it, right about the time the bra got burned it was no longer for
husband, family, or children, but for ME ME ME. Once a 12 year old has
done in her short life what took you 40 years to experience, her need to
ACHIEVE is seriously reduced, once they have hit crack rock at 12, they
have no more need to do anything else the rest of thier life.

THe guy that took the GI bill in the past, did he get an education or
just a degree? The GI BILL is not the answer, sending more kids to
school is not the answer, letting people learn at thier own pace
individually to contribute how they want too is more efficient.

The progress paradox comes into affect, people only want SO MUCH FREEDOM
- beyond that too many choices complicate thier lives. When I was young,
you didn't have PC, Internet, HDTV, DVD, Cellphone, 500 restaurant
choices, 3 major shopping malls, 24 hour walmart - lets be honest,
CONSUMER choices and freedoms today occupy so much time why does little
princess really NEED to learn anything - its all been provided to her on
a silver platter. Having kids would rob her FREE TIME to enjoy all these
luxuries society has created for her, NO KIDS will be born in that
system.

Right, time to enter the nuclear age in style.

Absolutely, it is more trendy to have that PERSONALIZED bottle than a
communal water fountain, one is the BRA BURNERS liberation and
independance concept carried to extreme - damn stingy bitches. Wouldn't
piss on you to put out the fire. Bitches are just taught to be stingy
these days and NOT SHARE.

-- Government policy in interest rates, and on finance generally, has been marked by vacillation, wishful thinking, electoral expediency of the most shameful type towards the end of last year, contortions and contradictions, all to accommodate the redneck economics of the National Country Party.
