*Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons:*
*1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963*
*2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after*
*3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few

About like it is up in Chicago..Atlanta, Denver....etc
Yeah, but we are soon to be the minority down here!
Might be a good thing...That way you can make all kinds of demands, claims and allege discrimination and get the big bucks. When your supervisor, and boss are all speaking foreign languges, speak with foreign accents, well.....You’re the minority!!
So Texas wide, there are probably 200,000 being born, not to mention a million or so entering illegally each year.
I wonder how long Bush thinks America can stand up to this lawless undermining of our system.
