One of my co-workers is of Mexican descent. He's earned a Masters in Elec. Engineering and I admire him alot. But one of the most profound things he has ever said is "I don't consider myself a Mexican, I'm an American. If Mexico went to war, I could care less. If America goes to war, I'll be on the front lines, which is where I belong". That's putting your country ahead of your roots. I wish more immigrants would do the same.

This story is about what we get for putting morons through community college and calling them educated. They are then good for nothing but enforcing stupid rules. We have a long way to go to learn to relax and focus on what is really important.
