Whoops, Declan, but I've stepped very deeply into this. But what the hell I'm a manly-man.
We now have opened our borders to those very people we persecuted way back then. [History? What's history to a U.S. American.] Every four years we shed our skins, sort of like snakes. I like George Bush. I wouldn't vote for him in a million years. And his policy of allowing cheap labor over our borders...go to a restaurant and check out the behind the scenes staff, is just great for our loutish kids to stay at home playing nintendo or whatever they do.
Still, I grew up in mixed neighbor-hoods..i.e black and hispanic and I've seen the change in this countries prejudices: a white girl with a black guy is no big deal. I grew up in a time when...but that's history, and we pay no attention.
But, my god we are a bunch of very dangerous people...every four years we stage a revolution or the opportunity for one. Some times comic, some times...dangerous, if not for us and who knows, but for the rest of the world. And I'm going on and on...but, as much as Bush p*sses me off, I think we did right in Iraq. But then again, my thinking is very often jingoistic. And I want my cheap gas back. Regards Cockeyed.
