What's that got to do with the statue? One honors those who disgraced our country. The other honors those who fought and died for it. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Sigh.... And on the day that we know as "Gold Star Mother's Day". To honor the mothers who have lost their sons and daughters in war. Did you fly your flag today in their honor? http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/yrtwn/seast/245seyt2.htm ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

It's interesting to listen to the legal immigrant population here. They are angry about the illegals who are coming over the border and taking their jobs. They hate that they themselves went through all the paperwork and time to receive legal status, and now there are illegals circumventing the system and flooding the work place. It was very interesting to watch the large "Mexican" population on the street corners of Perris on my way to the DZ on a weekend morning. They were waiting to be chosen by passers by to work that day. When the border patrol started doing sweeps a few months ago, those street corners were -vacant-! They had all run away, scared of being deported. Now, if they were legal, that wouldn't have happened. Interesting.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

You're right. And it bugs the hell outta me to see this. In California we put through new regulation that allows just one year (perhaps it's 2) for welfare, then they HAVE to go through job (re)training and get a job. CA will help them do this and if they refuse....they LOSE their benefits. There was ALOT of rebellion when this new law went into effect a few years ago (I have a good friend who works for Riverside County and is the head of this job retraining program). However, it's in place and they have to deal with it. I should check in and see how well it's going now.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Shit....that was on Final Jeopardy last night. It's either Bob or Scout...can't remember which Close. It -was- "White Fellah" when they gave Tonto his own white horse to match the Lone Ranger. (something about seeing Tonto riding double on the back of the one horse didn't sit well with the producers. ) However, they thought about it and didn't want Tonto to upstage the Lone Ranger with the same color horse, so they got Tonto a Pinto and named him "Scout".

Trivia question (NO GOOGLING ALLOWED).... What was Tonto's horse's name? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

I disagree. Years ago, where I used to work, they had a very well respected custodial staff made up entirely of legal employees. I'd wager a guess that at least have of them where white kids putting themselves through college AND these folks weren't just cleaning the office restrooms but public restrooms used by -thousands- of people every day AND they where proud to be working for the company. I think it's total BS to say that you can't get Americans to do -any- job. The issue is, you can also get -other- people to do it for less money. Which is -exactly- what this same company I was talking about now does. They have outsourced the majority of the work to another company. The outside company may or may not be using a completely legal workforce, but that's not the problem of the client company. They don't care -- all they -do- care about is they are getting essentially the same service for -much- less money. That was -not- my question to jdhill. I'd ask that you let -him- answer it before going off in a tirade of your own. I understand your point of view, but completely disagree with the idea that -legal- immigrants (or American born citizens, for that matter) can't do the work that needs to be done. My belief is that those who hire illegals should be federally dealt with. Perhaps if fines (or something alot more harsh) were to be levied then we would not be seeing as much of this flagrant disregard for the law (at least what I see here in CA). One more note (since you bring up personal knowledge from where you used to work).... Where I currently work I have sat down and talked with those who do the manual tasks to keep our hospital sanitary and clean. Their comfort level is right where they choose to be. The do not want to return to school and 'advance' their learning in the bookish way. They want the work that they have and are legally tendering it. (And I bet that if we were to get in an arm wrestling match they'd win against us therapists hands down! ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Zooming in just a tad works o.k., however moving it up alot tends to deteriorate the image quality and stability. Depends on who much is your 'little' is. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Just wondering who would do all those jobs that America's unemployed won't take? Paying more for the jobs doesn't work because its work they feel their above, regardless of what it pays, and it would also just slow down the economy... so what has been solved? J We'd go back to growing our own gardens and get some exercise in taking care of our own lawns! All together a healthier society. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
