It ain't so!!!!

Guess it's time I explain myself.....

4Salt I promise you, I am not a wingnut! I started this tread because this is the debate that's going on all over the country and amongst all races and political persuasions. It's a very emotional subject that need's light and political attention, without the shouting and name calling. I got this from one of the most respected liberal minded and caring people in Seattle. She helps others as best she can and is not a hater. She is very intelligent and educated. Both her and I are not a racist. Because we care to share, discuss and look deeper at this issue, does not mean that we have to ware the label Wingnut.. For me the issue is the need for legislative action regarding immigration laws, or the need to offer work permits in order to stop the extreme suffering that persist now. How about having them apply for citizenship and pay taxes and contribute to the general welfare. Surely we can find a legal solution.

Building Higher walls will not solve the problem or silence the screams of a hungry child on the wrong side of the ditch. Both parties are avoiding the issue and counting on our continued screaming and yelling, and not looking for resolve. Ignoring the voices of the people that are funding (tax Payers) this dysfunction, offers no answers. Yelling racist, or using the "N" word does not work, as all it does is creates a lot of noise and static while avoiding a civil solution to the problem. Have you heard of the threat to our Social security funds (that people paid in all there life) being depleted because of this issue? If it's true, we should care and demad answers, because those are our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers that are being affected.

Instead of giving the banks all those trillion to take out of the country, maybe some of that money could have gone to help Mexico and it's people? I promise you, that issues involving Social Security for those that paid or are paying into it, and concerned about it's use, does not qualify that person as a racist for asking questions relative to any issue that threatens it's future. Because somebody is screaming "racist" louder, and getting attention because it sets off an alarm that triggers a reflex that has us jump into our bunkers(democrat, republican. liberal, conservative, etc.), while others are questioning how some (that don't qualify and not even a social security card) are getting this money that they have earned, and was deducted for SS retirement. Now they say it's (SS) running out, and to question inappropriate use of these funds is t be labeled a racist? I think not!!! I would rather they print more stimulus money, and use it to fund this dysfunction, or have it voluntarily deducted from passionate sympathizers earnings at a rate of say 25% in order to facilitate the issues involved(i.e.,Medical, housing,etc.).

I posted this to get reactions and input as to what others were thinking. I don't want the continued demoralization of a people (Mexicans) by requiring that they crawl on their belly's and begging in order to do us a favor (labor) in order to survive and care for their family's. The problem is that the Mexican and American government refuses to look at the realities of whats driving this dysfunction. The system on both sides of the boarder is set up in a way that results in the misery and suffering of those not lucky enough to crawl to Mr. Man's Apple orchard's or lettuce fields. The so called grunt work that they do( some say other American wont do), should pay a wage according to it's value. Food has more value that some paper shuffler in a suit and tie taking home 100 g's a year, and commuting 100 miles a day to an office to fake work ( to many chiefs and not enough Indians) . We need to rethink and organize so that the system is more equitable, fair and self sustaining, and not the dysfunctional and toxic mess it is now. The various diseases ( cancers, etc.)we see now are a direct results of the toxic ( physical, emotional and spiritual) mindset and behavior that most of us are program for. All I'm saying is that we can do better with running to get our guns and acting barbaric. I'm sure there are many like myself that will chooses to be true to their hearts, before surrendering to a reflex to duck and run to a bunker, and began firing noise at anything that challenges the imagine rightness the labeled (democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, etc.) box we get locked into. I'm still and Independent, and will remain so. There are many more that think like I do when it comes to getting us out of this mess.

Ideally, I would love to see a world without boarders, and all people having a right to a place under the sun as divine beings that are also blessed with the special gift called human life. That would be my wish (keep dreaming). It would be wonderful to expect our leaders to do the right thing in resolving issues, instead of the polarization, and offer up bait that will appeal for the hateful voter. That goes for both parties!!!! In the last election, I worked my tail off to get candidates elected and with success. I will continue to be politically involved and hope that I can support the best of the choices offered on the ballot. However, I see the potential of all my recent work getting erased, simply because, yet again the mass stupidity button gets switch on , via media and scarcity and presto......you get the picture.

After all, there ain't enough X, Y, Z to go around, and the ego wants it all.
