    ICE is there to enforce border security, and the feds are actually preventing them from doing there jobs. How messed up is that? It’s completely devoid of logic. Maybe ICE should channel the ghost of Blackjack Pershing. I really don’t think that all of the illegals here will mind I if we invade mexico, and take over a sizable chunk of that country for our own. I’m thinking that the 4 border states, along with the northern mexican states, along with the gulf of mexico, and the baja peninsula. That would make a nice country all by itself.

    Boner needs to go. We have laws on the books, and the INS-ICE to deal with immigration. The GOP-DNC and their business interests want an open border and access to a cheap source of illegal revenue. The feds have become the gun runners and drug traffickers for the mexican cartels, and any US official who endorses this “immigration reform” are no better that the lowest pimps, drug dealers, or common thugs and gangsters. When We the People lose faith in our government, it is time to replace our goverment those who will abide by our Constitution.

    Who ever said that manifest destiny only goes from east to west? Why not south? If you can’t close the border, move it south! Laraza promotes it, so why don’t the border states simply start taking over the northern mexican states, and taking charge of their futures? The entire gulf of mexico belongs to us, along with the baja peninsula and gulf of california, and mexico becomes that much smaller. The spaniards had their chance, and they lost, the mexicans had their chance, and they lost, Now it’s our turn to take charge, and claim that land for our own, by our standards. There’s enough real estate there to form a new nation. Something to think about.

    The feds and business interests are working together against the border states to keep the influx of cheap labor and loyal voters flowing north. The only way back to sovereignty is to tell the feds to go pound sand, and take of it yourselves. it’s a tough choice to make, and you will meet much resistance from the current powerbrokers.

    It’s all about control. Control the food, control the fuel, and you have the people under your thumb. Create a one time crop, and you have to go to the government sponsored seed supplier hat in hand for a few kernels of seed corn. When the USDA and FDA show up at your doorstep, and point a gun in your face asking for samples of what you’re growing in your home garden, hoping to find some “cross contamination” from there product, which may result in you receiving a jail sentence and sued into oblivion by Monsanto, will you realize the game that is afoot. This has absolutely nothing to do with creating a better crop, and everything to do with taking control of everyting that you are allowed to grow. The countries I listed have used this to maximum advantage as a means of control. Don’t think for a second that it couldn’t here in th US.

Don’t bother complaining to your elected representative, because they will not listen to you, and do not care, because they were bought and paid for a long time ago by interests who put profit above country.

    Yeah, that’s cold, about as bad as Michigan in the winter. Fuel cells generate heat as a byproduct of the reaction, and it can be used to warm us folks from much colder climates. The idea is to wring as much energy out of a pound of fuel as possible. Chemistry dictates just how much energy we can get from pound of fuel. Following this path will take us to energy independence.

    factoryrat to ckilmer
    From a chemical-electrical energy standpoint, this is a big leap in energy storage technology. Burning fuel in an internal combustion engine is horribly inefficient, wasting roughly 2/3 of the energy as exhaust heat and cooling system losses. For every gallon of gas you buy, 2/3 of that gallon literally gets wasted as useless low grade heat that does not propel your vehicle forward. Batteries are nice, but they just store energy, like fuel. A gallon of gas has the same amount of energy as all of the batteries in a chevy volt. The name of the game is energy density. The brass ring to grab for is to be able to store as much energy as it would take to move you the equivalent distance as a tank of gas, and do it more efficiently than just burning fuel. Fuel cells and batteries would work way better than gas, unless someone comes up with a fuel cell that uses hydrocarbons directly. If that were the case, then a 1000 miles on a tank of fuel for your Tahoe would be a piece of cake.

    It’s part of a filter when searching for prosective employees. If your previous salary is above or below a specific range, your application is automatically discarded. Regardless of what a prosective employer tells you, they want to get you for as cheap as possible, within the accepted window of pay for that particular industry standard. The current job market is an employer’s market, and they can cherry pick employees for the best (lowest) wages for the work required. Any prosective employer who tells you otherwise, is lying through their teeth. The new business paradigm is to treat labor as a commodity, to be used and disposed of as required. If they don’t, then they will be crushed by their competition.

Then complain that whatever line of business that you're in can't compete against cheap third world labor, or abide by tax or environmental regulations created by lobbyists in the first place to discourage competition, and, lobby to import third world labor to displace American workers who used to do those jobs, but won't do it for slave wages. And to add insult to injury, people complain about paying for the unemployed, who USED to have those jobs, that paid those bills, mortgages, and bought those goods. Now they either dropped out of the workforce altogether, rely on welfare, fight with illegals over jobs, or have “gone galt”. It has become a vicious cycle, the systematic looting of the US economy. The US doesn't produce anywhere near what people would lead you to believe. Don't believe me? Stop every shipment from china, and it would send us back to the stone age tomorrow, and completely destroy our economy. Like I said, get in bed with the devil, and you will get screwed.
