text: Posted June 28, 2012 Not the first QB that would come to my mind when thinking of people to compare Cam to, but when you think about it, it strangely fits. At least in the regard that they are both big dudes who are hard to bring down. Cam's got the toughness of Big Ben with the agility of Darren Sproles though. I don't think he's as tough as big ben. He really shows it on his face when he gets roughed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This project was born out of my love for infographics. I wanted to give myself an exercise in researching and displaying information, so I chose to create a visual timeline of Namco's arcade releases.
The timeline starts in the center of the circle and progresses outward. I used Wikipedia and several sources of archival videogame info on the internet (including Google Image Search) to gather images and release dates.
As for my color choices: red and yellow are used in some of Namco's early games (and the Namco Bandai logo); and red, orange, blue and pink are the colors of the four ghosts from Pac-Man.

Cadillac ( /ˈkædɨlæk/) is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan and is the county seat of Wexford County. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 10,000. The city is situated at the junction of US 131, M-55 and M-115. Approximately five miles north-northwest of Cadillac lies the geographic center of Michigan. Cadillac became the county seat after the so-called "Battle of Manton," in which a show of force was involved in enforcing a controversial decision to move the county seat from Manton, Michigan. Although European explorers and traders visited the area since the 18th century, permanent white communities were not established until some time later. Sawmill owners used the canal...

RSE Remake Speculation Thread

I don't see too much point going into E4 or Gym Leaders for RS remakes unless they are going to use Juan as a Gym Leader or extra character. At least explain Wallace/Juan's relation more. Norman can prolly get a better background as well, leading up to why you had to move to Hoenn.
They could prolly give Wally a more dominant rival role instead of splitting the rival role between him and May/Brendan. Though making May/Brendan the Dawn/Lucas/Bianca role would be a little upsetting and kinda seem like a demotion. I mean I'd like for Wally to get more screen time as the rival, but I don't want to lose the classic Other Character Rival feel like in D/P.
While ill agree with you in that remakes have been just copy and paste games, but I think we have to look at the games they were paring up to. For instance a deep story didn't need to be aplied because well let's face it RS story wasn't that deep. With GS remakes they changed it up a little , they gave the rocket leaders individual personalities , appearance and even names. It just like team Galatics commanders had. They also did it nicely with the gym rematches givin a special area to fight them like in platinum.
So now we come to BW and BW2 where we now have a huge change in how to story goes( giving us one that's worthy of a RPG) so it would be a waste of time to remake the exact same game story wise when it's in the same gen as BW.
Now I know they haven't done that in the pass but like what was said 2 games can't really constitute as a pattern. And since the longest pattern has been broken( third game) I see no reason they wouldn't give us an enhanced story. There's really no reason they shouldn't .
So instead of giving us a remake give us a reimagining

The Arab Spring of 2011 was a windfall for a number of artists across the Middle East and North Africa. But two years later, are they really better off? Last weekend, there was an update on the Tunisian art scene, and this week, the Art Newspaper checked in on the state of free speech in Egypt, a country which experienced a number of democratic hiccups in the two years since protesters in Tahrir Square spurred the overthrow of dictator Hosni Mubarak. Artists in the North African country are skeptical that the new freedoms afforded them under a democratically elected regime will last, as the new government is run by the ultra-conservative Muslim Brotherhood.
Egyptian street artist Keizer told TAN that Egypt's art world is only safe currently because it's under the radar. "At the moment, there's an emphasis on television and the movies," he said. "[The Muslim Brotherhood] has yet to really discover the art world, but when it does, it will clamp down. We have already had statements in the media from sheikhs saying that all art made in the past 20 to 30 years will be abolished." Worry of censorship, however, has not silenced the nation's artists. Keizer also noted that it may have spurred more artistic creation, particularly from street artists.
A number of different sources noted the issues inherent in the country's highly controversial new constitution, such as vague language and an emphasis on religion over rule of law, have the potential to adversely affect the freedom of the art community. However, there is time to change the direction the country is heading for the better, according to Egyptian critic and curator Bassam el Baroni. "We need a couple of years to see what damage this constitution can inflict on culture. A lot can happen in that time to counteract that and push for a better outcome," he told TAN.

Sportblog + Nascar
The Confederate flag has nothing to do with regional bonding, but Nascar spectators insist it's just a matter of southern pride. They couldn't be more wrong
Our favourite things this week Our favourite things this week: from Solskjaer to basketball vasectomiesFeaturing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs, the trauma of dedicated sports fans, and the internet sponsoring NASCAR
Marina Hyde: Some of the gags since Danica Patrick qualified on pole for the Daytona 500 have cemented the suspicion that of all the sports in the world, Nascar is the one with the brainiest fans
Maurice Hamilton: A thriving Juan Pablo Montoya has traded F1's politics for Nascar's pure racing
Marina Hyde: Who in English football would fail a dope test and call his stepmother a murdering whore?
Oliver Owen: This year's Daytona 500 marks the 30th anniversary of the incident that captured a nation's imagination
The need to save money has forced the teams and the FIA to agree a landmark deal. But how long will this unholy alliance last?
After a merger between the IRL and Champ Car, IndyCar is in good shape to take on Nascar and F1 - not to mention baseball, American football, ice hockey and basketball
The overwhelming majority of US motor sport fans do not give a damn about Lewis Hamilton or formula one. Yes, there were a few prominent "LEWIS!" banners at last weekend's US Grand Prix in Indianapolis, but they were lovingly made by ex-pats, not locals. The vast areas of empty seating around the Indy circuit showed that F1 is still viewed as little more than a European curiosity in the States.
Forty-one years after he was named Nascar's rookie of the year, James Hylton is taking a final shot at the Daytona 500 - aged 72.

Yahweh's Law, Covenants and Promises are For EVERYONE by faith
As we talked about in the introduction to "Who Is Israel?", there are teachers and others who will dismiss verses of the bible by saying they do not apply to the church or us today. They believe certain passages in Scripture do not apply claiming those passages were addressed to the Israelites, Jews or someone else, but is this true? Is this what the Word says?
What does Yahweh have to say about this? Did He tell some of His children you must obey my rules and to the others, go do as you please and to figure out for yourselves how to Love God and your neighbor? Or does Yahweh treat all His children one and the same? IF Yahweh expects the same from all His children, then who is not included?
Galatians 3:26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Romans 10:12-13
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 10:34-36
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: he is Lord of all.
What if Yahweh held a feast in celebration and honor of His Son - Wouldn't you want to be invited too? It should scare you to NOT be invited. Yes, All His children are invited, commanded. Who would turn Yahweh's decrees and invitations down, even if they weren't required? Would you?
John 12:20-21
Ephesians 2:10-14
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us
1 Kings 8:41-43, 60 and 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 (Both passages read the same)
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but comes out of a far country for thy name's sake; 42(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; 43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name ...
8:60 ... That all the people of the earth may know that Yahweh is God, and that there is none else.
Deuteronomy 29:9-15
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 10 Ye stand this day all of you before Yahweh your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 12 That thou should enter into covenant with Yahweh thy God, and into his oath, which Yahweh thy God makes with thee this day: 13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he has said unto thee, and as he has sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 15 But with him that stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day.
Isaiah 14:1
For Yahweh will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 56:3-8
Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus says Yahweh unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to Yahweh, to serve him, and to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8 The Lord Yahweh which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yahweh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
Ruth 2:10-13
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? 11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It has fully been shewed me, all that thou has done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou has left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knew not heretofore. 12 Yahweh recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Yahweh God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. 13 Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord; for that thou has comforted me, and for that thou has spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

Numbers 9:14

Thou shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: 18 But thou shall remember that thou was a bondman in Egypt, and Yahweh thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 When thou cut down thine harvest in thy field, and has forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shall not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that Yahweh thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 20 When thou beat thine olive tree, thou shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21 When thou gather the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shall not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22 And thou shall remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

Acts 13:16, 26
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience ...
26 … Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Acts 15:1-29 - The Context (justification) is set in verse one. Whether they have to keep the law to be saved. Which of course it was decided they do not. But notice this section of the passage ...
Acts 15:14-21
Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the Lord, who does all these things. 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
1 Peter 1:1-2
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1 Peter 2:10-11
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
1 Chronicles 16:12-18
Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14 He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 17 And has confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance ...
Psalms 105:4-11
Seek Yahweh, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 7 He is Yahweh our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
Haggai 2:1-5
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Yahweh by the prophet Haggai, saying, 2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, 3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith Yahweh; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Yahweh, and work: for I am with you, saith Yahweh of hosts: 5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remains among you: fear ye not.
It is an open covenant for anyone that will enter. The door isn't closed till judgment comes

Looking for as much information as possible on Primary Peritoneal Cancer.
Oct 29, 2009 - 7:04 am
Hello, my husband has been diagnosed with retroperitoneal liposarcoma. This is a rare sarcoma that develops in the fatty tissue in the peritoneal area. (so they say)
Apr 13, 2010 - 7:59 pm
Hi there... I'm seeking info. too, and will happily share what I've learned, as well as what our story is...I say our b/c it's my mom who has the diagnosis, but I'm the research hound in the family.
She's 68, never had children - I'm adopted. For about a month prior to Christmas 2009, she was feeling more and more bloated, and les hungry, more nauseated when she ate, and experiencing incontinence. Her regular doc didn't see how the incontinence was anything related to anything, but sent her for a cat scan the next day when she mentioned the other symptoms. That was Dec. 23. He immediately called an oncologist, who saw her on Dec. 24 2009 and confirmed an initial diagnosis of ovarian cancer, with ascites, and a tumor wrapped partially around her colon. As a result of the tumor wrapping around her colon, her onc. suggested 3 rounds of a carbo/taxol combo...systemic IV chemo (as opposed to intraperitoneal...where they put the drip right into your belly - I was pushing for this..). She had the ascites removed in early January, but there was only 3 oz. of fluid, and she looked 6-7 months pregnant...very uncharacteristic....so I suspecte that there was a lot of tumor there. Her ca-125 numbers went like this: 6000 (yes, 6 thousand!!!) at her initial diagnosis. 8,000 after her first round of chemo (1-21-2010) , 1054 after her second round of chemo (21 days later), 140 after round 3 (another 21 days later). Then, March 30, 2010, she had surgery, where she had a hysterectomy, discovering a double uterus...cause of her not getting pregnant. They also removed all of the cancer, which had shrunk, and did not require them to take any of her colon, or appendix...though they might have taken her spleen...and they did take large sections of omentum. This is where things start to get interesting. Though, on a very positive note, she is feeling terrific, and her ca-125 was just at 9.
In early April 2010...just recently, she got the pathology reports from her surgery, which stated that the:
Her onc. didn't make any large distinctions between primary peritoneal cancer and ovarian cancer, and didn't tell her she doesn't have ovarian cancer. In fact, she said, of the types of ovarian cancer, this is the one to have (whatever!), but has a nasty habit of coming back (uh..yeah....). I'm a little concerned, because I don't think my parents currently understand the full implication of the origin of the cancer being peritoneal and not ovarian....though they look almost the same.
I'd be interested in any info. you can find.
Again, the good news, is that she appears to be cancer-free - for the moment. She'll have 4-6 more chemo treatments. She has also felt quite good through the treatments...they've given her medication to offset the side-effects, so she's been tired, and has low immunity, so I haven't visited (I have 3 small children and all their germs!). She has lost her hair, but has a lovely wig.
Outside of the medical stuff, which is of course of great interest and concern, I can say that her journey thus far has been much easier than some I've read. If anything, there have been tremendous blessings for her in this:
I think sharing the info. and sharing the stories...sharing what docs are saying, lab tests, and increasing our own understanding can help us help one another. My prayers are with you on this journey, and I look forward to hearing more from you, and anyone else who has info. or experience to share.
Every day truly is a gift.
Apr 17, 2010 - 12:31 pm
I have PPC & was diagnosed Nov 4th 2009. This is a rare cancer as you may well realise so trying to find info is not easy. You are right when you say it is in-curable but all of your mum's CA 125 results are really encouraging. I am so pleased they manged to remove the tumour/s in surgery.
My cancer is made up of small cancer cells all around the lining of my abdomen, so surgery was never an option. Also it had spread to the outer lining of my lungs so I am stage 4. The fluid build up around my lungs was bad for me, but I also has asistes in my stomach.
I have just finished 6 rounds of carbo/taxol infusions and my CA 125 has come down from 1119 to 65. I too lost all of my hair but am hoping it will come back now. So I have finished my chemo and I am waiting for a CT scan next month to see what's going on inside and I will have another CA 125 in June. The aim is for my CA 125 to remain stable and they will monitor me every 3 months. The word my oncologist used was "dormant" he would hope the cells remain dormant. If they don't then more chemo for me.
Take care and I hope your mum continues to improve.

"No Apology" presents Romney's analysis of the world situation and many of his plans to restore American greatness. It is not an autobiography, a la Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, where the reader is "treated" to all the ups & downs of poor Barry's childhood and adolescence. "No Apology" is an analysis of the domestic and world situation, followed by plans to deal with the problems discovered. I suspect it is the sort of document Mitt Romney got used to creating as a top-tier consultant, then CEO, and then rescuer of the scandal-tainted Olympics in Salt Lake City.
He was successful at all these things, by the way, and most of his life has been executive experience, not counting the many hours of unpaid service to those in need or in trouble.
In short, the book is fairly heavy reading, though most people should be able to get through it pretty easily. It definitely answers the question of what Mitt Romney will do as President.
Very high recommendation indeed!
Romney writes well, and manages to communicate complicated ideas intelligently. He has to walk a fine line between policy discussions and public appeals, and hits a good balance. The book is however frequently overly sentimental , especially when Romney goes into one of his periodic paeans to American brilliance, goodness, and beauty.
The best aspect of "No Apology" is Romney's discussion of the US economy and related issues such as health care and the environment. He skillfully makes the case for "creative destruction" (i.e. market competition) and free trade. I particularly liked his acknowledgement of the costs of free trade to workers who lose their jobs -Romney's descriptions of his encounters with laid-off people, recognizing the ill effects of unemployment on people's self worth and dignity, is genuinely moving. Romney actually makes his case not by ignoring the downside, but by weighing benefits against cost.Read more ›
As the grandson of American Immigrants whose family was run out of Mexico by Mexican revolutionaries angry with American Expatriates, Mitt grew up as part of a family that worked themselves up from desperate poverty to live the American Dream. His father worked as a wall plasterer while he supported his family and worked his way through college. He eventually earned his way into the presidency of American Motor Corporation (AMC) and bet his house (or at least the money he'd made from selling his home) on the successful development of the Rambler compact car. He later became three-time governor of Michigan.
Mitt grew up in a family that had strong core values and he discusses those core values throughout this book. This reviewer actually met most of Mitt's family including Gov. George Romney when Mitt ran an unsuccessful campaign for Senate in Massachusetts. The whole family was part of that campaign and the lessons they learned with that loss served Mitt well a few years when he successfully won election for the Governorship of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Romney managed to do a good job managing that state even though he didn't have enough Republican legislative votes to uphold a veto and therefore had to reach across the aisle to the Democrats controlling the State House in order to accomplish his agenda.Read more ›
A real shame Romney couldn't over come the media's jaundiced reporting and sabotage..and communicate his honor and constructive intentions..
Mitt should have been the Right Fit!!Diana b.

Aw shucks
I'm not a big fan of babies, but I love it when parents emphasize the importance of reading. That's why I get a little bit mushy inside when I hear that Gewn Stefani and Gavin Rossdale brought their two-month-old son, Zuma, to the Beverly Hills Public Library to be photographed for his first library card.
That is the look of a kid who wants to gum a board book– for sure.
Full story is in the Daily Mail along with more pictures.

|Alice Hamilton Conference
| Speaker:
|John L. Henshaw
| Status:
Alice Hamilton Conference
The Foundation of Occupational
Health and Safety
Chicago, Illinois
September 21, 2002
- I'm delighted to be part of this conference honoring Dr. Alice Hamilton, the foremost pioneer in occupational medicine, epidemiology and toxicology. Her contributions created new disciplines, but more importantly improved the health and lives of individuals.
- Dr. Hamilton's passion and persistence have inspired many of us to dedicate our lives to worker safety and health. Unfortunately, she died shortly before the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
- But her work as a social reformer, investigator and physician formed the foundation for those who established OSHA. Her commitment to public service -- as an unpaid special investigator -- has been a personal inspiration to me as I moved from the private sector to the public sector last year.
- From what I know of Dr. Hamilton, it's clear that she didn't hesitate to dig deeper when she glimpsed a connection between an illness or injury and an individual's work. She identified links and called attention to health problems.
- It's because of pioneers like Dr. Hamilton, dedicated safety and health professionals, concerned employers, alert workers and committed public servants, that working conditions have improved significantly over the last three decades ago.
- Over the last 30 years, workplace fatalities have been cut in half and occupational injury and illness rates have declined 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment has doubled from 56 million workers at 3.5 million worksites to 111 million workers at 7 million sites.
- The good news is simple: injuries and illnesses on the job in America keep declining. Last December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics told us that injuries/illnesses are continuing on a downward trend. In 2000-injuries and illnesses in our nation's workplaces were the lowest in 8 years. But that's not good enough.
- As safety and health professionals, we know we must accelerate that trend ... too many workers are still going home hurt or sick and more than 16 per day aren't going home at all. We want to drive those numbers into the ground. And I'm convinced we can.
- It's one thing to cry alarm ... it's another -- and more difficult -- to do something about it.
- Everyone has a stake in workplace safety and health ... government officials, safety and health professionals, individual workers and managers and family members. We play different roles... but we share a common goal -- keeping workers whole and healthy and on the job.
- I want to share with you what OSHA is doing toward this end ... in several major areas and also on some special initiatives. The purpose is to drive down injuries and illnesses even further.
- While providing leadership, OSHA is focusing on three strategies ... 1) enforcement; 2) outreach, education and compliance assistance; and 3) partnerships and voluntary programs. We believe these strategies for the future, in proper proportions, will significantly improve compliance and injury and illness reductions.
- Let's start with enforcement ...
- A strong enforcement program underlies everything else we do ... and where we must use enforcement to get employers' attention ... we will ... Since we have limited resources, we must identify those employers where this strategy is the only way ... and then make it stick.
- Recently, we have refined and expanded our strong, fair and effective enforcement program. We pledged we'd do 36,400 inspections this year ... the highest total in 8 years ... and we're on target to meet that goal.
- We've promised to add another 1,300 in 2003 ... and we'll meet that challenge as well.
- Our targeting efforts ... identifying 13,000 sites that need to improve ... and conducting inspections at those with the highest injury and illness rates ... are making a difference.
- Final numbers are not in yet ... but so far ...at nearly 75% of the workplaces we've inspected, we've found serious, repeat or willful violations. That means we're going to the right places ... and we're delivering the right message ... the safety and health of your employees is critical ... And you need to change ... Now!
- No company should wait for an OSHA inspection to take action to protect its employees. And employers that do are going to find themselves facing an average penalty of more than $900 per serious violation. That's not going to bankrupt anyone ... but I hope it's significant enough to get the attention of the site manager or the CEO. It's higher than in past years.
- It's our job to make sure they get the message ... the one I know we all agree on ... this is not about money ... it's about a safe workplace, about people ...
- Our purpose is not to visit sites to collect money for the government. Our job is to create change where it is needed ... to assure a safe workplace. We are developing strategies for dealing with recalcitrant employers.
- What really disappoints me is that the violations we're citing are the same ... Over the past four years, the very same violations have made our top 5 list each year. Oh, the order differs a little from year to year, but it's the same 5 ... scaffolds, hazard communication, fall protection, respiratory protection and lockout/tagout.
- We don't want to see those same violations ... and we don't want to go back to the same places ... we want what we do to result in change... real, lasting change ... fewer hazards ... and most importantly fewer injuries and illnesses and no lives lost.
- One of the changes that OSHA has made is paring down its regulatory agenda ... I know it has raised a few eyebrows. We've stopped publishing a lengthy "wish list" and started putting out a realistic "to-do" list. We want every one to know what we're really working on over the next 12 months.
- And you can hold us accountable for those milestones. The old agenda was not a management tool. What was on the agenda -- in years past or any new items -- can be added back when we actually are ready to work on it.
- We now have a reasonable list ... And we're moving forward on that list. Since May, we've begun the regulatory process on cranes and derricks and chromium. We're taking another look at glycol ethers. And we've published a final standard on signs and barricades to protect highway construction workers.
- Standards and enforcement form the foundation -- and we will pursue them ... but there may be quicker, effective ways to reduce injuries and illnesses ... and we must perfect those strategies to make the biggest impact we can. The first is outreach, education and compliance assistance -- the persuasive advocacy that Dr. Alice Hamilton was so good at doing.
- We've promised to expand assistance for those who want to do the right thing. And we're keeping that promise in a number of ways.
- One of the areas that demand our attention is the need to reach immigrant workers, particularly Spanish-speaking workers. Even as overall workforce fatalities have fallen, deaths among Hispanic workers rose 12% in 2000.
- We've taken a number of steps to reach out to Hispanic workers ...
Our toll-free help line ... 1-800-321-OSHA ... offers assistance in English
and Spanish ... We now have a Spanish web page .... We have a Spanish version of All About OSHA ... We're publishing a new brochure for workers and community and faith-based groups that describes OSHA services -- all in Spanish ... We are not the INS.
- Our Hispanic Task Force is meeting regularly to identify additional strategies ... We have a partnership with the Hispanic Contractors of America to work together on outreach ... And we have to do more.
- Like Dr. Hamilton did, we need to dig deeper into the issue of high injury and illness rates among immigrant workers. Several months ago, we decided to begin collecting information during fatality/catastrophe investigations on languages spoken and nationality of workers.
- Preliminary data show that immigrants or workers who primarily speak another language were involved in more than 20 percent of the deaths we've investigated.
- That indicates we need to zero in on this group in our outreach and education efforts. We're going to be keeping very close tabs on this data. But already, it's clear that language may play a significant role in worker deaths ... and we need to find ways to address that.
- OSHA has another outreach effort that might interest you ... QuickTakes - our e-mail news memo ... Launched in March, we already have nearly 19,000 subscribers.
- If you haven't signed on, I urge you to do so-it's free and it's fast ... just 2 pages every 2 weeks, and in 2 minutes you can keep track of safety and health issues that OSHA is working on. Sign up at www.osha.gov and it will come to your email address.
- Another important strategy for reducing injuries and illnesses is partnerships. A critical aspect of this is youth programs -- we need to do more with safety and health in the schools.
- Of course, our premier partnership program is the Voluntary Protection Programs. Two weeks ago, I spoke to the VPP Participants Association conference. This year VPP celebrates its 20th anniversary. We're very proud of the 864 sites recognized by that program for their exemplary safety and health programs.
- But OSHA covers 7 million sites -- so 864 is a tiny, tiny fraction of that number -- not 1% but 1/100th of 1%. We need many, many more sites on the road to excellence.
- So, I challenged those who've already reached excellence to help us make a quantum leap -- from 800+ sites ... to 8,000 sites. I would challenge you as well ... as safety and health professionals. Help us draw more workplaces -- big and small -- on to the pathway to excellence in workplace safety and health.
- We do have a plan to make this leap ... a strategy for dramatically expanding sites in VPP. We've tentatively called it "jump start." We haven't worked out all the details yet. But the idea is to set up an entry-level program for companies ready to make the commitment to excellence in safety and health ... but who still have a ways to go to achieve excellence.
- VPP works. Thousands of injuries and illnesses have been avoided. And because it is so successful, we must make sure it is not used as a lever. We cannot as true safety and health professionals trade lives and injuries and illnesses for something else.
- As we expand VPP, we are going to expand our strategic partnerships. We now have 139 such partnerships involving more than 6,200 employers and covering nearly 216,000 workers.
- We've also created a new form of partnership ... alliances. Alliances focus on getting out the word on the value of safety and health. Alliances may include one or more elements such as training and education, outreach and communication or promoting the national dialogue on workplace safety and health.
- We signed our first alliance earlier this year with the Hispanic Contractors Association. We now have six alliances, with four more to be signed within the next few weeks. We're looking for many, many more to follow. The purpose is to sign on others to work with us on reducing injuries and illnesses -- particularly professional societies.
- Let's turn now to some of the important specific issues that the agency is addressing ... like ergonomics.
- This past spring, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao announced a new 4-pronged approach to address musculoskeletal disorders. It includes industry-specific guidelines, enforcement through the general duty clause, outreach and assistance and research recommendations with the help of an advisory committee.
- Our goal is simple. Musculoskeletal disorders represent one-third of the injuries American workers experience every year. And we want to reduce those numbers as quickly as possible. I believe the plan the Secretary has outlined is the best way to do that. Let me make something very clear: reducing ergonomic hazards is not voluntary.
- I want to tell you about our progress in implementing this plan. First, we have identified three industries so far for OSHA guidelines - nursing homes, retail groceries and poultry processors. Our draft guidelines for nursing homes came out the end of last month-and comments are due by September 30. A number of people have asked us to extend the comment period, and we're considering those requests.
- Once the comment period closes, we'll schedule a stakeholder meeting to gather additional input and issue the final guidelines. We expect to have final guidelines for nursing homes and draft guidelines on retail groceries and poultry processing completed by the end of the year.
- In addition to the guidelines we're developing, we're looking to individual industries to work on guidelines of their own ... and some are beginning to do that. Last week, I signed an agreement with the American Furniture Manufacturers Association and the state of North Carolina. AFMA has agreed to work with North Carolina to develop its own set of ergonomics guidelines for furniture manufacturing. We're looking to other industries to do the same.
- On enforcement ... this summer we issued a national emphasis inspection program for nursing homes. There will be a number of issues involved here, including ergonomics.
- I want to be very clear here. We will not be enforcing guidelines. And we will not institute special inspection programs for every industry that we develop guidelines for. But we will be looking at ergonomics ... and we will focus our efforts on those companies that have not acted in good faith.
- As part of our outreach and assistance effort, we're updating and expanding our ergonomics webpage. We're developing additional interactive software -- eTools we call them. And we'll be working through alliances to further spread information on best practices. That's the primary purpose of our alliance with the printing and graphic arts industry, for example. They help spread the word and achieve implementation in their industry.
- We're moving forward on the research prong as well. We expect to announce our advisory committee and hold the first meeting very soon.
- We have a number of strategies to take us into the future. We have a team working diligently on a new strategic plan to chart our path. You will be pleased with our plan. And we are putting in place new performance measurements to help us track our progress in achieving our goals as we implement our new organizational structure.
- As you know, any organization is only as good as the people who power it. And we have good people in OSHA, very good people. And we're working on ways to empower them to become even better.
- We're doing some restructuring to better configure the agency in line with Secretary Chao's goals and to help us do our jobs faster, better and more efficiently. We've added an Office of Small Business Assistance to better address the needs of the 80 percent of U.S. companies that are small businesses.
- We've combined our health standards and safety standards groups to form one new office -- the Directorate of Standards and Guidance. In addition to developing standards, this office will be planning, developing and managing non-regulatory approaches. We will work more closely with NIOSH on several fronts, including surveillance as Dan mentioned.
- We're also working to expand training opportunities for our staff. We've launched a certification program for OSHA's safety and health staff to encourage our people to become CSPs and CIHs. We're looking for a 15% increase in certifications.
- We are enhancing our compliance officers' training overall -- rethinking, upgrading and improving the programs we offer. And soon we'll be doing that in a new, larger facility outside Chicago with state-of-the-art resources to improve our training further.
- In some ways, OSHA has an impossible task -- we cover 7 million employers with 111 million workers in hundreds of different industries. I'm sure that the task set before Dr. Hamilton -- exploring the links between work and health -- seemed impossible also. To meet this challenge we must work together.
- Dr. Hamilton pioneered in finding problems. Those of us who follow in her footsteps must find solutions. Our standard is high ... no deaths on the job and an injury and illness rate sloping to zero.
- But it's been said that by asking for the impossible, we attain the possible ...
- We CAN save lives.
- We CAN reduce injuries and illnesses.
- We CAN save lives.
- Dr. Hamilton's "shoe leather" research confirmed her theories about the link between exposures at work and subsequent illness. Today, thanks to her work, her theories are commonly accepted truth.
- I also have a theory ... and I'd like to see us work together to test it. My theory is that there is a greater commitment to providing a safe and healthful working environment than ever before ... and if we reach out to employers, to workers, to professionals, to associations, working together we can achieve results that are greater than the sum of our individual efforts.
- As we remember the achievements of Dr. Hamilton, I challenge you to work with me to fulfill her dream, OSHA's mandate, and our pledge as safety and health professionals ... to provide a safe and healthful work environment for every American worker.

i like this. ok, same idea repeated but still a cool twist thanks to a great insight.
I really like these - a great insight well executed. Takes me back to when I was a kid where I always imagined I was driving along the most exciting bit of road even though I was on my kitchen floor or my grandma's carpet. You caught the feeling. Week done.

Guys & Girls:
CMC is known as the "bro's" school. With that in mind, it is usually a male-heavy environment. Nonetheless, there are some brilliant and ambitious women that have done amazing things while still in school. Both guys and girls, even if they're not from California, usually adopt the Cali surfer look with t-shirts and sandals. All the students here are very driven and have high ideals for their own personal development as well as where they see themselves in the world. It's a school full of passionate, well-rounded, and multi-faceted people.
Guys & Girls:
The guys at CMC are typical frat bros and the girls are often typical sorority girls. They are smart and generally very into their appearance. The dating scene at CMC is nonexistent in comparison to the hookup culture. Lots of students are the type that want to get rich quick and will probably either start companies or get jobs on Wall-Street.
Guys & Girls:
Everyone at this school is incredibly friendly and approachable. It's very easy to meet someone new and develop a lasting relationship from there. The small campus size helps in facilitating these friendships as well, since you see the same people each day!
Guys & Girls:
The girls are very outgoing and strong. They almost seem guy-like in their confidence and demeanor. They are not that attractive however.
Guys & Girls:
The guys at CMC are really attractive and outgoing for the most part but when it comes to relationships, don't even try. They're more interested in drunken one night stands and the next opportunity to buy a bro-tank than they are interested in seeing you as a person. So if you're looking for a relationship in college, this is probably not the place for you. There are some nice guys on campus but they're usually the ones with high school girlfriends. The upside is there are 3 other colleges to go to if you are really looking for a relationship, so there's still hope.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
For a group of career-oriented go-getters, CMCers are relatively attractive and outgoing. They are always up for going out and meeting new people. There are lots of different weekend parties—both at CMC and the other colleges—to meet a partner. While the alcohol flows freely and some parties have crazy themes, there is minimal crazy sex acts happening at the parties; people save it for the dorm room.
The relationship culture at CMC is kind of non-existent; people are a lot more interested in a night of fun than a steady relationship. Most people are single, and one-night stands are popular. The pool of people to choose from is relatively small, so students travel to the nearby colleges for more variety. You can find just about any type of person at one of the other schools, if not at CMC.
While Sunday morning brunch is full of gossip about the weekend's debauchery, students at CMC take safe sex very seriously. Condoms are available outside of every RA's room and at the student health services. At the health center, one can also find contraception, free STD testing, and many information pamphlets.

Skip to comments.The 'Almost Exclusively White Phenomenon' of Conservatism
Posted on 05/23/2014 8:08:25 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The rush to stand with Mr. Bundy against the Bureau of Land Management is the latest incarnation of conservative antigovernment messaging. And nonwhites are not interested, because a gut-level aversion to the government is almost exclusively a white phenomenon.
After all, America is rapidly importing economically poor, poorly educated, low-skilled immigrants. Those immigrants generate racial inequalities, and inequality is then used to shame and guilt the majority. This is the neurotic cycle I call "America's never-ending shame." A constant influx of the "disadvantaged" guarantees a racialized political system and the growth of a Leviathan welfare state.
How can we verify that "a gut-level aversion to the government is almost exclusively a white phenomenon"? For starters, we could look to numerous polls and opinion surveys, which are a better indication of Latino opinion that any self-serving GOP talking points.
The Pew Research Center recently explored Hispanic views about the role of government. Seventy-five percent of Hispanics want "a bigger government providing more services," while only 19% prefer "a smaller government providing fewer services."
Source: Pew Hispanic Center, Pew Research Center
Among Asians (the second-largest group of immigrants today) the result was 55% favoring big government to 36% favoring smaller. In response to a similar question in 2002, far fewer Hispanics (55%) preferred bigger government; the trends are unfavorable for advocates of limited government.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Dude didn't look at the chart. The longer Hispanics are in the country, the less they wanted big government!
Well, then all the Americans should go to Mexico and demand free stuff to make things fair....
Now this is shocking.
Yup. I use my white privilege daily to get free cars, free food, free money at the bank. Just walk in and tell them you want to use some of your "privilege" to get an extra couple thousand for walkin' around money. Works like a charm. Ahhh. Utopia.
Remember the Alamo!
And why do all these minorities want to immigrate to such a evil and racist white country...?
And then go about to change it to the hell hole they just left???
So when we hear the squawk that the "government" imprisons black men at a rate 3x that of white men, that has to be racist because Mr. Sharpton said so. But when TP fans claim that government is too big and in your face, that too is racist because there aren't any black Al Sharpton supporters behind the guy in NV. And it isn't racist, of course, when the IRS goes after conservative groups 1000% as often as they do black non-profit groups.
Honestly, I don't know liberals keep all this stuff straight.
The people of Colorado would like to know that as well.
You mean to tell me, that, the author of this article wants the folks that burned their own stores in L.A., sat on the porch while the water rose in New Orleans, to be counted as 'conservatives'???????
At that rate you'd have to wait for the sixth-generation Hispanics to catch up to the rate of the general population.
I can't understand why, but it sure seems like people WANT to be ruled over. Totally goes against the original premise of the United States of America.
According to the chart, it looks like the Mexicans are not coming here for work; they are coming here for all the free stuff. If work was the main objective, they would want less government - less police, less immigration, less social security review of workers, fewer inspections of the workplace from the FDA, EPA, Health & saftey, Fire, etc
It's a question of Judeo-Christian values. Who cares what damned color you are?
Heres the word for word quote of the presidents most recent declaration against any and all who might disagree with his Big Government, no questions asked, agenda. They were spoken at a big money, California fundraiser:
The truth of the matter is, is that the reason that we have not seen Washington address the core concerns of too many working families around the country is that you have a party that has been captive to an ideology, to a theory of economics, that says those folks, theyre on their own and government doesnt have an appropriate role to play.
And our goal and our task in this midterm has to be to break that grip, that particular view, that particular wrongheaded vision this country has so that we can get back to the business of investing in the American people and investing in Americas future.
It's only fiscal conservatism that qualifies as a SWPL (stuff white people like).
You see, social conservatism is something virtually all ethnic and racial groups in this country can get behind. Hence, proposition 8 in California - the state's population is majority non-white, yet it voted several times in favor of real marriage. Almost every racial and ethnic group in this country is going to be a majority-in-favor voting block against perversion.
Social liberalism is the "almost exclusively white phenomenon" the author of this piece should have identified, along with libertarianism.
If you want the minority vote in this country you're not going to get it with a combination of social liberalism and fiscal conservatism, as a matter of fact that particular political blend a sure-fire way to send your party into total and complete obscurity. Anyone too naive or ignorant to realize that probably shouldn't be voting in the first place.
This should generate interesting discussion. The Bible makes no mention of race save for the decedents of Noah's kids. I think we'd be wading into a scriptural mess if we made racial determinations off Noah's curse on Ham. The apostles got into trouble when they exhibited the slightest hint of racism: Samaritans, gentiles, etc.
For me, that dispels the best case to be made for racism. The next best case is experience which, unlike the first one, has nothing to do with genetics. We know by experience that we're more likely to have crimes committed against us by non-whites. This isn't just perception or racism, it's reality. It's also a reality that countries with large black populations are pretty miserable places. This, in know way, is proof of white superiority, but is proof that something is wrong culturally.
Culture explains the disparity between perceptions of government. This is something we've lost sight of. Democracy, liberty, individualism is an Anglo-American discovery, so to speak. It developed out of unfettered access to the teachings of the Bible. It wasn't until the the Bible was allowed to be translated into English that the common man had access to the whole council of God with no liturgical filter. The more people who read the Bible, the more people understand there's no King, Pope, priest, aristocrat, noble or parliament that intercedes between you and God.
Anyway, Asians, Mexicans, Blacks, etc don't have the heritage Anglo-Americans have. To the extent that people assimilate into Anglo-American culture, they understand the evils of government. To the extent the Anglo-American heritage is ignored, harangued, abandoned, the more people will turn to government.
"The longer Hispanics are in the country, the less they wanted big government!"
Given the rates for 3rd generation latinos, it will only take about 150-200 years for assimilation. So...shut the southern border down for 150 years? Works for me!
The pace of mindset change is distressing.
A hundred years ago, people came to this country with their sleeves rolled up, begging to get to work on improving their lot in life.
Now, they show up fat, hat in hand, looking for the free stuff.
Sponsor of the Trillion dollar coin. One of Barack Obama's favorite columnists.
That's it.
We're in an environment where demographic groups are being targeted for bribes and other benefits as well as being provoked based on them being the victims of discrimination, bigotry and racism.
The great provider and protector is ... the government. At least they are conditioned to believe that.
The problem is that at some point the government is going to start failing in it's role. The current situation can only be strung out for so long before the predicable, inevitable decline occurs. At that point, then what?
The question of who is or is not "white" has changed with practically every generation. There were times in the 1800s when the Irish were not considered "white"; at the turn of the century the Italians were not considered "white," and Russian/Ukrainian Jews were certainly not considered "white" until well after WWII.
It is telling, I think, that more long-term-American Hispanics are beginning to think of themselves as "white": it doesn't mean they have dumped their heritage or are trying to "pass," but that they have accepted long-term-American values, and see themselves more as Americans than as an ethnicity, just as previous generations of immigrants have done.
The same thing could happen in one generation with American blacks, with only two actions: first, the re-establishment of the nuclear family, both within the black community and in inter-racial marriages, and second, the popular shaming of race-baiters--including people like Sterling, but also people like Sharpton, Cummings, and Holder.
Solution: Government services with a USER fee not supported by taxes. THEN see how many people support it!!
Oh for that matter Vietnamese clinging to their guns who had to flee their homeland on make shift vessels.
Oh for that matter Cubans clinging to their guns in the US who were abandoned by JFK on the shores of their homeland.
And you wont find a more conservative person then a Mexican who fled the drug cartels of his country so he could cling to his guns in the US.
They have all had children. They have all instilled conservative values on those children. They now number in the 10's of millions. And they will soon be coming for the tyrants.

You suck at math, you know that?
Tell ya what dude, why don't you start a coffee bar! I'll buy a $1 cup of coffee from ya if you pay me $1.64 first. All you need to do to get rich is offer that same deal to 20,000,000 other folks, you'll be making a loss on every sale, but hey you'll make up for it in volume!
Sound like a good idea?
How about this one, because my ancestors have been here for generations you pay me $1.64 so I can buy your $1 cup of coffee. But my cousin who was born in this country but has recent immigrant ancestors, you gotta pay him $1.78 before he'd be willing to buy your $1 cup of coffee. Sound like a good deal to you?
How about my other cousins, all 25 of them, they just immigrated, so they won't accept less than being paid $1.88 by you in order to buy your $1 coffee - I mean, they haven't had as long to assimilate or accumulate wealth, they've got to rely on you to pay for their home, health care, education, drug habits, all that good business.
Seventy-five percent of Hispanics want a bigger government providing more services, while only 19% prefer a smaller government providing fewer services.
That's a leading question. Ask, instead "Do you want a bigger government charging more taxes, or a smaller government charging less taxes" and the numbers will flip right around.
Thanks to the power and ability of the government to create money out of thin air, more and more people are suffering from the delusion that government is Santa Claus, or a empathetic nurturing parent that can provide them with free benefits that are costless to the citizens.
But white settlers of America of Anglo-Saxon descent wanted to promote a renaissance of Anglo Saxon primitive institutions on the new continent.The statutes of the Anglo-Saxons were like a breath of fresh air that furnished ancient principles of freemen that could become an inportant source of the model for the new government.
On August 13,1776,Jefferson wrote to Edmond Pendleton to convince him that Virginia must abolish the remnants of feudalism and return to the "ancient principles." He wrote:
"Are we not better for what we have hitherto abolished of the feudal system? Has not every restitution of the ancient Saxon laws had happy effects? Is it not better now that we return at once onto that happy system of our ancestors, the wisest and most perfect ever yet devised by the wit of man, as it stood before the eighth century?"
You are wrong to ignore genetics as a factor in personality traits. However, it is not inevitable that Conservatism not appeal to any particular group. The Leftist agitation of the past century has been largely successful, for example, in undermining the natural Conservatism of the American Negro--a major talking point when Booker T. Washington was the principal spokesman of the race. (See Booker T. Washington Address.)
When you write of "assimilation," you must not overlook the reality, that while America was clearly the land of the rugged individualist, the Anglo-Celtic culture appealed far more to a self-selected group in other nations, to whom those traits appealed (kindred spirits, almost certainly with some similar innate personality traits), who formed the preponderance of the 19th Century immigrants. (Those who did not fit that pattern, often crowded into Eastern Cities, which early in the 20th Century moved decidedly to the Left.)
With the increasing acceptance of Egalitarian/Collectivist values after the New Deal, this selection process broke down; with the adoption of the radical--indeed anti-White--immigration policy in 1965, which has actually subsidized immigration from lands with no social history or cultural parallels to that of earlier settlers (and, indeed the very opposite social norms, as related to individualism vs. group thinking); there has been a 180 degree departure from any likelihood for assimilation.
Frankly, I do not pretend to understand your apparent suggestion that we look to culture rather than genetics as the explanation for differing attitudes towards government. Specific people create specific cultures. Cultures will reinforce the personality traits that do well in any community; but culture, itself, reflects the result of the dynamic interaction between the unique individual types that live in a particular community.

Even if they were 40% Republican, it wouldn't benefit us. Basic math. If you add 4 Republicans and 6 Democrats, it helps Democrats, not Republicans.
Exclusively tax payers all.
You know what else is an all-white phenomenon?
Volunteering to help in times of disaster.
My brother-in-law was in New Orleans after Katrina. White people were there from all over the country, helping out every way they could. There were virtually no black people doing the same things.
But you're not allowed to mention this.
Why isn't "bigger government with fewer services" an option?
The Republicans are obviously committing political suicide to support amnesty, UNLESS they're big government Repubs.
I's neerly bout whitern a glass o' buttermilk an' my great granpappy toted a musket fer Gen'ral Lee. Wherebouts kin I git me one o' them 'ere cards? Will they hold it agin me 'cause granpappy 'as too pore tuh own no slaves?
They don't really want to be ruled over but they are willing to accept it in return for a free ride. Their ultimate goal is to join the ruling group and get a free ride too like all the worthless leeches who "work" for the government now.
Noah did not curse Ham. He cursed Canaan, the fourth of Ham's sons.
I have no idea what you talking about. I simply pointed out the reality that Hispanic views of big government are changing as each generation grows up in this country. Your talking about coffee. I'll bite. Try decaf.
Not if the trend in the chart continues.
