    I found myself explaining my motives to the principle in igh school when he was given the speech that I had written about the essay on civil disobedience by thoreau.it seems I was being accused of inciting a riot. but If he had actually read the article he would know that I was esposing a noviolent resolution to an internal frustration.

    nothing wrong with civil disobedience in itself. afterall thats the foundation of the creation of this great country.

    there will come a time in this country when civil disobedience may be necessary to return the country to the governance of the people. by the people and for the people.

    the present state of affairs is just part of the slow progress that is necessary to fine tune the rules of government that this world is to live by. If things swing to far one way it may become necessary to impliment extreme measures to right the wrongs. if those wrongs can indeed be righted.

    my world is not black and white but has many shades of gray.

    the first ones to claim to see racism are often the most racist, and will go to much extreme to justify there own.

    lets be fair and I will say "not all are guilty"

    "we will become what they have fled."

    but a large percentage of hispanics bring a bit to much of their culture with them. I can understand that they may have been forced to use some unsavory methods to survive in mexico or wherever but that is no excuse to continue the behavior here.

    being of mixed heritage myself (its quite a laundry list) i can be confused for hispanic. but you must understand that I was raised in tennessee. I did not even know what a breakfast taco was until I moved to texas 20 years ago. I personally cant stand the macho cr_p and there is entirly to much theivery. I have long thought of what the mexicans will do or were they will go when they have created the US into the image of mexico. isnt that what they insist they are escaping from. but they are full tilt on importing the culture and force feeding us drugs and violence. if the imigrants that are trying to improve themselves would just give a little more effort in policing themselves instead of justifying their behavior I might be a little more sensitive to the the issue.

  • Kerry Hits Back at Bush As 'Contradiction'

    all kerry has to do is await a month or so and then take some commercial totally out of context and claim that george w has violated the rules of engagement and then commence his vulgar attack. typically the dems rely upon the first strike rule were thy rely on the fact that the first report of the facts is automatically given a high credibility factor. whether it is true or not. this is a general rule when dealing with the public and I have run into it personnally while dealing with libs. its kinda weird when you have a private discussion in public and then the peerson gets up and says outloud so everyone can hear "are you threatening me. Ill call the police if you lay a hand on me". how do you react in a situation like that when everybody looks at you as if you just murdered someone. some people are so quick to belive the apparently obvious. its as if they have not yet come to realize how often they have been misled or are not willing to admit it.
    the dems truly live in a dream.

    The meek shall inherit the earth.

    but not through any action on their part.

    those that live by the sword will die by the sword.

    whats wrong with that.

    ive done yard work with a 357 shouldered and loaded just to let my neighbors know I mean business. The ones who know me. know I aint trigger happy and think is amusing. those who dont, think i'm crazy and dont associate with me. just as well. but they do tell others and those who might feel the need to help themselves know they are playing russian rouleete and they dont get to touch the weapon. that turn the other cheek cr_p is absurdity and a man or nation wust be prepared at all times to shoot back or shoot first. which ever is necessary. I dont think kerry has the courage or the gumption. and dont get me started on the courage of the great military journalist mr Al Gore, or the russian tourist bill clinton.

    those who sincerely wish to better themselves need very little help. I have a neighbor who constanly asked for money. I did give her money and she may or may not have used it to buy food or drugs. I am not sure which. after some 50 dollars of sympathy and concern I finally decided she was potentially becoming a dependant I could not and would not afford. I did not hide my feelings or throw an accusing finger her way or show contempt. I merely told her one day that I did not have anything for her. I also told her that I would not allow the disruptive behaviour of her lifestyle to affect my family. I simply told her that she had better straighten up or find some where else to live. some people are receptive to a sincere discorse of our motives. some are not. the bottom line is that things will be uncomfortable until the problem is resolved. whether we intercede or hide our heads in the sand. I wonder if the same attitude could be expanded upon in our relations with other countrys. but this would require the possibility that some one will dislike us because we have nailed our stance on any issue and said to the world here is were I stand. I aint changing or crawfishin just to please you. oh, to be popular and have everyone like us.

    if you aint made someone mad at you you aint done nothin.
