The Dem's were a'screamin' yesterday!!

Could be the catalyst for a Democratic President tho...

Could be a Republican would come up with something the people want. :D Ron Paul already has a great option.

the other one is too close to call. However, the noted Juan Williams interviewed Thurgood Marshall on the subject and Juan says the decision was a good one.

Wow for Juan!

Ferd,

all of that is deeper than I care to get on here. I don't mind discussing spiritual things in depth. But as far as political things - well, I come for the fellowship more than anything else. So it's ok with me that we were discussing movies, etc.

Maybe that makes me shallow, but some days..................... I guess I just don't care. Isn't that awful of me. :haloplug

Margie, I understand your feelings and dont think you are "undeep" at all.

it is just that there are a very few days in a given year that really matter. Yesterday was one of them.... and nobody (me includedd) even really noticed.

You're right, Ferd. Sometimes I will notice that something significant has happened that will no doubt change the course of history, but I don't usually spend alot of time discussing it just because it's already done and there's nothing I can or could have done about it. Maybe I should rethink that. Maybe I should discuss those things.

But, hey, today's my birthday. So I'm lettin' somebody carry the weight of the world on their shoulders for today. :)

FERD!!!! You have to admit that Ron Paul's Amendment, I referenced above, is a workable solution to part of the illegal immigration problem.

I dare you to tell me it isn't!!! Hehehehhehe!

Not workable and flies in the face of 230 plus years of American tradtion and law.

that is not the answer. we need rational immagration based on law. Not kneejerk reactions bound by the unbendable force of constitutional decree.

plus, you would never get that to pass with a 2/3 majority.

We shall see. I don't think any person that is illegal should be able to legalize their children here. It would stop the flow of a lot of things.

LOL! it would stop nothing. they come here because their kids are hungry and they want to feed them. they dont care about what is legal.

So long as we dont deal with the reasons they come here and restrict the methods by which they get here, they will come.

if that were to pass, you could end up sending a 20 year old nearly english only person who has NEVER once been to any country other than the USA back to some third world nation to live in a culture they have never experienced....because THEIR PARENTS broke the law.

we dont hold one person responsible for other peoples actions.
