How about if we start to call the illegal persons from Central America what they really are? Refugees.
The rule of law is gone south of the border. Thirteen million refugees have voted with their feet.
Why do we not charge their government a fee for each one of them? Perhaps a nominal $10 a month for each one. Anything to incentivise their home country to keep it's citizens at home.
Seems like Mexico would provide American with a few new states. Raw materials and potential for growth. Why not let the Mexican people vote to see if they would like to join the US?
Something has to be done. Why not annex?

Key in to keyboarding (typing)
Why is it not obvious that all childres should learn keyboarding (typing) as soon as possible.
It is a funamental task in this age.
Why has our educational system even hinted at giving some focus to this ubiquitous task.
Great for toddlers fingers to learn dexterity.
Spelling.
Posture.
Reading.
Easy to measure.
The needed gateway to all else.

Rude to be Rude
It is total hoot that folks who block the isles in stores with their carts and bodies fine it rude and glower at you when you say to them "You are blocking the Isle". They are offended that anyone would have the nerve to point out that they are in the way.
You see they somehow feel that it is OK that they have their fingers up their rear end and their brain in neutral and making problems for others - but should you have the gall or nerve to say "You are blocking the Isle". You are somehow being rude.
Be aware of your surroundings. Be alert. Stay out of others way.
Shame on you and your mother who didn't teach you better.
If more folks took the time to tell you what a rude person you were the world would be a better place.
Oh and the place to stop and look in your purse or whatever is NOT just as you enter the door and there are others behind you.
Oh and if your ignorant rude child is running aroung yelling "Mom, MOM, Mom, mom,". Answer the little ill mannered brat. Why should I have to say to you "Hey your child is trying to get your attention"?
I do not want to hear your child nor be a part of your lack of parenting skills. Have some respect for yourself. If you can't handle your child - leave it home.
Be polite. Stay out of the way.

Our and Are
What is going on?
The word is 'our' pronounced exactly like 'hour'. (Isn't English a hoot?)
It is not pronounced 'R' as in 'are'.
Please let us stomp out this slide of sounds. This is a short but I feel important diatribe.

Election 'Fraud'
Let me see if I understand this correctly.
Credit Card Companies can record and print out every one's (hundred of thousands) of purchases and bills to the penny and print out monthly statements.
Phone companies can keep a record of every call - the number called from and to - and print out a record at the end of the month with the exact time of each call to the second.
And somehow we are to believe that the technology and ability does not exist to record every citizens vote accurately once every two years or so?
Americans capacity to put up with utter drivel and total incompetence from our government has reached stupefying levels.

Alternative Energy
After all these years it is perhaps a bit gratifying that the Republicans are coming around to the position on alternative power that the much maligned but apparently forward looking Jimmy Carter took in the '70's.
His plan was to promote these major shifts in the most progressive and tax neutral way - via the method of 'tax incentives'. Perhaps if these were called 'tax cuts' the average Republican could understand the concept.
(Of course one wonders why the present day Democrats can not even see when they have been dealt a winning hand.)
Mr. Carter set up an energy policy that (had it not been destroyed and thrown out by Reagan) would today perhaps be bearing meaningful fruit. It was an energy policy that was aimed at reducing our country's dependence on foreign oil. Perhaps that has a familiar ring?
The global giants of Petroleum lobbied hard and bought television spots explaining how there would always be an endless supply of cheap oil. (All they needed where tax incentives for that costly exploration.) Tax incentives to large profitable corporations and wealthy investors are good for the economy they tell us. While tax relief for the increasingly oppressed middle and lower classes are luxuries that we can not afford.
At the very least these alternative energy programs and incentives created jobs and small business's. Which is another thing to which the Republicans always give verbal support.
I live in Arizona and I can tell you that we have a wonderful supply of Solar Energy. During the late 70's and early 80's there were scores of small companies beginning in the most rudimentary and primitive forays into Solar Power Usage. The elimination of the tax incentives by the Reagan administration scrapped the budding industry.
The alternative is to wait until gas hits 3 or 4 dollars a gallon ... oops. Then we could as a nation once again flail and panic. After all we have the leadership we deserve. If the electorate insists on being told what they want to hear.
Where are the leaders that American needs. The ones who will tell them the real story. The one's who can convince through rhetoric and persuasion that a bit of sacrifice now may forestall an awful price that may have to be paid later.
When comes to terrorism the Neo Conservatives seem to love to push the panic button every day. When it comes to Energy usage and awareness there is a real threat that they could warn us of and perhaps save us from.
Note to Democrats. Do something. Stand for something. Perhaps you could explain how raising the minimum wage to an amount that wasn't an insult - Perhaps to the levels it was (prorated for inflation) that it was in the 60's? You could explain how much tax income this would provide. You let the Republicans call you "tax and spend". When will you call the Republicans what they are "Spend and borrow".

The Fourth
I have called Arizona home for almost twenty years now and I still fail to understand why car dealerships and other non essential businesses are open on the fourth of July.
Why do the people and government of Arizona not consider Independence Day to be a reverent day of respect for our Country?
Shouldn't patriots consider the fourth of July be a true National Holiday? Does it not seem that there is more to loving what our country stands for than flying a big flag?
As far as respect goes I often wonder about Sundays as well and think that the world, when there were blue laws, was a kinder gentler and more peaceful place.
