Homeless
OK, so I was coming to work today and I was disturbed by the large number of homeless people I was seeing. I got to think about solutions to the problem. How do we help these people? How should our government help these people? I came up with a plan.
I think that homeless people should be tagged and studied. Much like the way we study animals in the wild. They would be fitted with some sort of ear tag tracking device which would track their movements and habits. If they stray into good neighborhoods then a crew would be sent out to take them back to skid row. Anyone who is homeless more than a year, maybe two, would be rounded up and put in some sort of homeless camp far on the outskirts of the city or perhaps Mexico. I came up with that part after I saw this homeless woman wandering around my neighborhood for about the past 10 years. There’s really no reason for a person to homeless that long. She needs to go. It’s really disturbing.
Now I do realize that there are reasons for homelessness that are sometimes beyond a person’s control, like losing a job or a natural disaster or fire. I certainly understand how that could happen and we all need to rally around people when shit like that happens. However, it only takes you so long to get back on your feet and if you chose to live outside the norms of society then you need to be removed from society. There’s really no reason that the rest of society should be bothered by your lack of conformity.
Does that make me a bad person because I think that way? I mean seriously, shouldn’t people be able to walk down the street without being accosted by homeless people? Should people have to endure the smells of these people as you are going about your life and minding your own business? I don’t know. I don’t really have any answers, just an opinion.
A Great Essay I Found On AOL

Illegals
Let’s say I break into your house.
Let’s say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, “I’ve made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I’ve done all the things you don’t like to do. I’m hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).”
According to the supporters of illegal immigrants:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family’s insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It’s only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I’m just trying to better myself.
I’m a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.
And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.
Get the picture????

The only way to fight back is at the grass-roots level. Money talks.
Close your account at BofA and let them know it is because of their support of Illegals — where will their balances be then?
Do not patronize businesses that hire illegals - and tell them why you will not use them.
Tell your friends who use illegal household and gardening help that they must stop or you will have to report them.
Email ALL the congressmen and senators, not just your own. You can compose one clear message and copy and paste it in each email form. We still have a chance that the senate will not pass the plan.
Write open letters to you local papers. These also can be emailed to other news papers.
Report all the comapnies and individuals you know who are using illegals .Call ICE, DHS 1-866-347-2423. The three immigration related agencies — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection — have web sites where you can find immigration information. They are: uscis.gov, ice.gov, and cbp.gov. All three are accessible from the Department of Homeland Security web site — dhs.gov.
