We are in the era of getting to select the laws we don't like by breaking them and getting away with it. I was talking with my county supervisor yesterday and brought up some laws and regulations often broken or ignored by some of the county regulatory employees and others. Basically his reply was that it was standard operating procedure and the PTB are is tooo busy to deal with it.
Interesting....This put some pieces of a puzzle together for me, especially (C). Thanks
"If you don't like the way things are...get your own website."
Thanks. I have done that.
"if you were passionate about the issue, you'd have a lot more than two hours of work into the issue."
That's good to know. Can I guote you on that?
"In a positve light, thanks for a great post, but people will stay closer to the issue if you don't whine in the thread."
You are undoubtedly unaware that this has been an ongoing issue on my (and other people's) posts around here for some time.
It is only by whining about it, that the articles get put back in the news/activism section where they might be seen by enough people to do some good.
But thanks for your expert instant analysis. No matter how uninformed it may be.
And keep up your great works for the cause. LOL
Sam, I could be mistaken but I thought that CodePink cancelled that trip.
Liz,
I am not sure you meant to ping me to this. However, anytime I do get a ping from you it is either entertaining or informative and sometimes both. As always I look forward to being remembered by you.

Thanks for the note, Ray. Pinged you on purpose. Thought the take on hyphenates would interest you.
They seemed to have.
But according to the IRS regs, even planning such a thing is a violation.
Also, it's hard to tell from their sites, but I'm fairly sure Global Exchange has done other trips to Cuba previously.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks so much.
And keep your interest "peeking." LOL
Oh, I see it now (Candidates may use non-profit, ethnic, hyphenated, or faith-based groups as middlemen). I didn't catch that before. Funny that they are finally catching on to the "hyphenate as special interest grouups".
