Current Events (or...things that pissed me off this week)

[dalthauser]

Current Events are just crazy lately.....................

Arizona Immigration Law.......  I've got mixed feelings - but bottom line is I think it requires racial profiling, so I'm against it. (I hope Latinos and Hispanic-Americans boycott Arizona on principal) One positive - it will probably prod the current administration to get moving with immigration reform.

I hope all the DRILL HERE DRILL NOW fanatics have cooled their jets a little given the situation in the Gulf of Mexico.  Today I read that the oil spill is only 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana - and they are having to consider setting it on fire.

Goldman Sachs is finally on trial.  I hope it's not all for show.  So many good people have suffered, in part, because of these greedy SOB's - I hope justice is done.  (this whoe financial meltdown going to make a really interesting reading, movie and/or mini-series someday too)

My sister moved from California to Arizona about a year and a half ago. She is very near the border of Mexico and New Mexico. As soon as she got there, she said that law enforcement (don't know if seh meant local, state, or federal) are like old western vigilantes when it comes to immigration issues.

I have mixed feelings about this, but I don't think the new Arizona law is the solution.
