QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) While that is truly the point, no amout of explaining will get that thru the heads of the resident liberals here. It doesn't matter what kind of person they are, or how hard they work or how amazing they are, THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY. Bush supporters have pointed out that $2 gas crushed the Bush recovery, imagine what a 15-20% spike in food prices would do. People can cut back on driving, not on eating. Yes they are because we do not want to pay $5.00 for a tomato. Americans will not pick crops for 8 hours a day for $5.15 or even more per hour. Then move to the next town. Take 40 hours a week at $6 per hour. How are you going to live, on the road, for $200 a week? How many hours are you willing to spend in the fields? These jobs are the absolute lowest jobs anywhere. They take almost zero skills, no decision making beyond, this is a tomato, I have to pick it. Eliminate the Mexican farm worker, and you will have to pay $10 or more per hour to get our food picked. We need some guest worker program so we can face the reality that A. The American workers and economy has moved beyond these jobs. B. There are millions of people on this continent that are happy to work. Alternate scenario: Growing food is too expensive in the US, so we import more and more of our foods from South America and other spots around the globe. Think being dependent on foreign oil sucks? How about being dependent for our food?

QUOTE(winodj @ Mar 11, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) I think there oughta be an investigation - and if the ignorance defense is true, the dozen other congresspeople oughta get some sort of censure.... But DeLay is facing his fourth ethics violation within a 12 month time span. That's just ridiculous. And he's under investigation for a possible felony indictment too. That's nothing by society's bias against Texas :rolly What I find distressing is someone proposes to fly you to Korea for a couple day junket and it is such a routine act, there is nothing but either an internal vetting or a "hey, there are other people going so it must be ok?"

When stuff like this happens, the DEM and GOP labels should be tossed out the window and let them face the music. Partisan politics being what it is, some peole feel compelled to defend "their" guy.

DeLay has a huge target on his back after the mid decade redistricting strategy he pushed through. I feel bad for the big guy. However, I don't think the press will be able to bring down a tower of a Texan. I'll bet they are just making this stuff up.

Cesar Chavez is one of the greatest men to walk this or any planet. Not much education, never owned a house or made more than $4,000 in one year, but sweated blood to found the United Farm Workers. A great America hero. My town is filled with hundreds, no thousands, of citizens whose families started as migrant farmworkers and more than likely were here illegally. Most farm picking jobs are seasonal. How many people want to constantly move from town to town, staying a month or two, then moving on? When the window of opportunity for picking these crops are here, the farmers need lots and lots of workers. It's a hard life, back breaking, and the workers are treated like crap, even by the best of employers. Crime? With the exception of being here illegally, this group is the last among us to commit crimes. They don't want to be deported and lose what will amount to their annual income. Report a crime? No way. So they fall prey to farmers that don't make that last payroll. Paying $$$ for shelter that isn't fit for livestock. I know I couldn't hack the migrant workers life for a day, and they know they are doomed to a lifetime. Some of the most amazing people I have met in my life were illegals at one time in their lives. They have raised their kids with a work ethic second to none. I will gladly move over and give them a seat at the bounty that is America's harvest.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) Too bad the media will never apoligize to Hale for assuming that he had this done. The guy might be a scumbag, but they had him all over the news for this, and he looks to have had zero connection to it. Media, and the FBI, and the police, the Judge, her friends, and everyone else involved.

I remember in college the trainer telling us to stretch after the run. I thought he was crazy. After 2 weeks, I was sold on the idea. Warm up, work out, cool down, stretch. It becomes a habit.

Sorry, I can't diagnose the injury, but can offer some tips on the stretching. 1. Warm up gradually by walking, to a slow jog, then running. 2. Stretch before, during, and after. The after can be the most critical. This is presumably when you are the most limber. Stretching then will actually help to increase your overall flexibility by going beyond your usual range. 3. When feeling sore or tired, prop your feet, take a rest, and live to run another day.

I believe this is caused by a rush to judgement.

I really believe it is more a marketing gimmick. Knowing that the hardcore Bushies would not be your market and your market would cheer. Think of a bar outside Cominsky with a No Cub Fans sign up. Are they stupid for turning away more than half the baseball fans in Chicago? Or acting like their best customers? I disagree with the business strategy on several points. Number one, taking people into the wilderness and teaching them that Leave No Trace camping and other use in the wilderness, can be comfortable, and ultimately more rewarding, and helps everyone. Not teaching, or at least attempting to teach those that oppose you or who are indifferent, hurts the cause in the long run. Number 2, it does paint the "environmental wackos" out there even further. As a moderate Democrat, I'm embarrassed by some of this stuff. Up until the day of the election, I was very much undecided. One of my biggest dislikes of Bush was the environment.

I was thnking he may want to go back in time to when that haircut looked cool Mr. Peabody, set the wayback machine to, to, to, never!

Hey Wino, does this describe any of your relationships? Or is it just us breeders that have to deal with this??

IMHO, after they send Michael Jackson to prison, lock up any parent who was stupid enough to allow their young children unsupervised visits with Jackson. Maybe not as punishment, but is it safe for somone that stupid to be walking around?? Seriously, if you were making a list of celebrities to not allow private visits with, Jackson has got to be on your Top 10 list, unless you have a daughter

the b**** I kid because I care™

Read how a staunch conservative GOOPer Evil titled this thread and tell me again that Bushies would like staying in a eco-friendly, low impact resort. The drill and pump oil through the ANWR crowd, isn't staying here. They may have eliminated a small percentage of their potential guests, perhaps someone like you, but I agree with Jim, they didn't eliminate much of their market. Every business should have a target market in mind with their marketing. Just like cruises do not spend much time marketing to 19 year olds, or Moet & Chandon taking out ads in college newspapers, this company knows their primary market are those individuals who hold our environment in high esteem and willing to pay for the privilege. For the most part, they do not vote Republican. COuld you imagine Rush reading their eco-friendly ads? I believe he calls them environmental wackos.
