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)

In Ohio, they can arrest you, if you are asked to produce an ID and can't or refuse. That is not freedom; you should be able to say "Get the HELL out of here." It is unacceptable, yet that is the way ot is.

That is a racist remark about Germans! Don't you think a German might find that offensive?

Besides Hitler was not German he was Austrian like Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.

German = Nazi?

I know you are not racist but you did make a racist remark here. It's OK... I still love you.

Besides all countries ask immigrants to show their papers. This is not unique to the USA.

lol - Arnold wasn't a Nazi.

Actually he does enjoy Nazi memorabilia.

The Guardian newspaper from the UK claimed that he possessed America's largest collection of Nazi memorabilia.

That's a little creepy.
