Common Sense Thoughts

Quick little common sense thoughts...

1. Immigrant Protests - Did anybody really care? The Liberals want to open the borders and let everybody be free. Conservatives are calling for a military presence on the borders. Sean Hannity believes the Feds should bulk up the border patrols and allow them more control of the situation. While not having a clear strategy for how to handle this mess, here is my question for the immigrants:
If you are caught breaking the law, are you prepared to abide by the punishment of our legal system? 'Cause many of you, who do break the law, end up fleeing back to Mexico. Just wondering.

Note: I had the opportunity to speak with a number of hard-working Mexican immigrants on Monday, May 1st. Some have landscaping jobs, while others work in Information Technology. The concensus was, "If I don't work, I don't get paid. I can't feed and shelter my family without money. There's lots of opportunity here." (United States)

Wow! What a great attitude. And just to think that most American teenagers can't even comprehend that!

2. The Moussaoui Trial - From the front page of CNN.com:
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema told Zacarias Moussaoui "you will die with a whimper," never allowed to speak publicly again, as she sentenced him to life in prison, The Associated Press reports.

Justice has been served. Besides, I predict he will take his own life after a few years in isolation.

3. $5 / Gallon of Gas - Yep, you saw it right. While listening to Sean Hannity yesterday afternoon, he mentioned recent fuel reports stating that, by this coming winter, we could be paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline. Can you say Honda Scooter? Or, better yet, just let me work from home.

4. Child Predator Laws - I'm all in favor of strengthening child predator laws similar to what the state of Georgia recently did. In fact, I say throw them (predators) in jail for life or banish them to an island where they can't go near children. If you believe 'therapy' will help these fools, and it is the only way, then you're stupid. Don't even bother wasting my time arguing the matter.

Besides all the aforementioned, have a great day.
