No one is saying we are living in a post racial America but we have come a long ways.   Racism still exists and probably always will but racism from all groups is starting to emerge.   Some just don't want to admit it though. 

Another bad thing emerging is that everything that happens nowadays some people turn into a racial issue when many times it isn't.

Mark, pick one once in a while and stay on the side lines.  This one in particular.

Went to the cousins web site.  What can I do?  This paragraph had special significance to me though

"Like most, they were brought here as a family to get away from the sufferings and fear of the never ending violence and extreme poverty caused by the controversial abusive power of socialism, militarism, capitalism and government corruption that existed in Peru at the time. Their parents wanted them to have a better life, some call this the "American Dream" others call it “survival”....."

I thought I had a plan getting us to drivers licenses, then amnesty and all it would take would be a little talk radio getting behind a boycott idea I had planned for a certain country.  Assuming everyone here gets amnesty......what are we going to do about the corruption down there?  They'll stay poor, but we could have helped them when we had the opportunity to use amnesty as leverage (blackmail).  Pitty little Gary has no............ mojo

Here's some gospel for that family and Beto and others like them

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows but Jesus Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, Glory Hallelujah!  Sometimes I'm up Sometimes I'm down Oh, yes, Lord! Sometimes I'm almost to the ground, Oh, yes, Lord!

Gary, I stay on the sidelines on many of these topics.   Why does it bother you so much when I don't?   Can't tolerate another viewpoint?

Gary, can't you see that you will never gain any support in here for your boycott plan?   My reasons are different for disagreeing with you about it than the majority in here.   They have a whole different agenda if you haven't picked up on it yet.

Dear Dave, I’m sending this to you in a private message and posting.  Hope you don’t’ mind my doing so.  You surely expected a private response to the private message you sent me suggesting I maybe tone it down on the gay rights side of the blog; “listen to your friends at the gay rights blog.  They appreciate your passion, but when you come bulldozing in without listening to people it is very alienating and they don't understand what you are doing.  Ana lisa said the same thing, if you recall.”

I'm leaving my message to you as a famous stream of consciousness for which I’ll be known far and wide eventually.  There’s only 3 people commenting on this blog anyway, I could have posted it another story where the gang is all assembled.  Please don’t ban me- this is a little outrageous- remember Beto.  Maybe me posting this publically is in your master plan, who knows?  This might be a big chess game?  I’m a pawn and you’re a rook however.  But no Kings here, we are small timing it.  We could get around that- pool our resources.  Here it goes..

Stream of consciousness (worth sorting through #126)…….. You know I’m such a tortured mother, worrying about you being busy and taking time to respond to me- and ana lisa too, worry about the same thing with her- and yes I remember her saying the same thing you said about getting off track.  And these words like “hijacking a thread” etc- saw them over at the Daily Kos.  Another waste.  Assholes think they’re helping elect Democrats, then they ban any Republicans- whose butts they could be kicking, or trying to sway at least- from the discussion.  Some of them are brilliant over there but what audience are they reaching really?  Preaching to the god damned choir they are.  They could learn a little about inclusion from this site.

Listen I’m running out of time, there’s only 3 months left before the election, this blog (the immigration, not the gay rights side) could be doing a little more for me………….nobody fucking gets it…..I need 2 or 3%, I could get it with a little  help here and elsewhere.  Nobody has to agree with someone 100% of the time.  Do I agree with Republicans all the time?

  I’ve put amnesty front and center on my campaign web site.  The web site nobody sees is more like it.  I don’t expect a politician to say a boycott is workable, they’re followers, fingers in the wind type- but Spanish talk radio, and immigration blogs could give me a boost; then big bad O’Reilly maybe would take over …..and it goes like that down the line.

What have I said that is so crazy?  Drivers license’s immediately, a boycott, and then amnesty.  If the fantasy ever became a reality what’s to lose?  It’s on the table. And if the boycott is ineffective, well then, many Americans are sympathetic and appreciate the “old  college try. ”  And amnesty once offered ….what is it going to be un----offered if a boycott didn’t work.  I can’t express every nuance (I’m no writer, that’s why I need a reporter to flesh me out properly) but I know it would work and Mexico would be on notice about the petty corruption that  we tolerate (from our cozy homes here)  like they’re some small child.  We have something the “child” desperately wants. Amnesty for their citizens and something the “child” requires or it dies; remittances.  The Mexican citizens aren’t going to starve, assuming “illegals” here participated in huge numbers- but the Mexican government would starve, it’s their 2nd biggest source of revenue after the revenue from the dwindling oil fields. On and on I could go, they need us on that score too….that is our expertise to stretch the oil reserves.

Dave, think about it please.  This blogging is small potatoes; it's a good starting point though.

I’m thinking of starting another poor man's web site; I may have told you this already, Stein for Congress 2010.  It could show up in the search engines under Stein for this Stein for that… and some people will know to type my name in the search engines by the end of these next 3 months.  I’m thinking of leaving all the pages blank but adding the music player on each page- making them curious what this mother fucker is up to now.  Or just one page showing, contact, and Barbara Streisand singing “Happy Days Are Here Again”

Making a fool of myself, hoping for a laugh it’s called. But  I’m thinking of one page being used for that story you directed me to, about the two innocent brothers that are going to be deported.

Transferring the story just the way it looks on change.org

Here’s a you-tube.  Burt is playing me in a 1960’s movie (without the multiple sex partners of course)

Mark, hello, thanks for joining in.  One of these days I'm going to get a good dose of my own medicine.  There's nothing wrong at all with you jumping in, it's just a blog and I was probably trying to curry favor with Dave.  There's nothing wrong with that if I'm up front and if I'm sincere when i say I was moved about Julio and his cousin ( I might have said brothers somewhere along the line).

I know there's an agenda, it's politics every where all the time 24 hours a day- 365 days a year and nobody can ever get beyond that.  I would have made a great Congressman, it's a shame.  The janitor chiding the career politicians.

I'm wacky, still laughing inside from the effects of me posting that you tube and checking to see that the link worked.  I watched it again.  Saw that movie 30 years ago probably.   For years I waited for it to be shown again, like on TCM- when we still were able to get TCM!  Well they showed it eventually and it was not as good as I remembered but it still was good.  And now you can find just about anything you want on you tube, and there it is.  and how appropriate....I "appropriated it"  I'm the "swimmer" now along with Fielding Melish, Virgil Starkwell and yes ana lisa- Don Quixote.

and Dave work with me, don't ban me.  That would be too ironic, you warning me about being banned on the gay side of the blog and then this.

I don't think you are- but who knows?  We all need each other so I'm asking just in case I got you on a bad day.  You must have plenty of those!
