According to one elected official in Arizona you can tell who is an illegal immigrant by his:
* Hair
* Clothes
* Shoes
And with that depth of intelligence, the governor of Arizona signed into law an immigration policy that gives law enforcement the right to profile individuals they "suspect" may be an illegal immigrant.
At anytime, police in Arizona can stop even a "citizen" and ask to see proof of his/her citizenship, and if the former objects, the latter will arrest them.
For 20 years, America's elected officials have wrestled with how to stem the increase of illegal immigration in our cities such as Arizona. However, more than $3 billion in tax dollars have been spent to build a wall across the border that is so flawed that the senior citizens from Mexico have climbed over it in record time.
As one can see, intelligence has eluded Arizona public servants, and in the process, they've crafted and implemented a law that will make even citizens of Arizona and the Republic feel like they reside in a Fascist country.
It would be fanciful to place complete blame on Arizona politicians for this Machiavellian venture, but we would be in error because in fact, some voters in the state are just as guilty. You see, once the drug wars, kidnappings, and murders in Mexico spilled over into Arizona, people demanded solutions at "all cost." Their anger and hatred over illegal immigration reached a boiling point, and in that blind fury, they now have legislation in place that they never realized would ask them to provide documents that prove they are Americans.
Consequently, suspicion, lack of intelligence, and anger has been a part of our lives for the last two millenniums and has warped the human psyche in the process. The legislation passed in Arizona speaks of bigotry, racism, and is unconstitutional. Arizona's legislators' "misguided" attempt to address the illegal immigration issue has resulted in a law that in wreaking in fear, racism, and anger as the result of 20 years of addressing illegal immigration.
Sad. Very sad.

"Remember Where You Were."
As the lay-offs and pink slips continue to be handed out to teachers, and as public schools close faster than the breaking of the sound barrier, one thing seems crystal clear, education for every American youth and adolescent is nearing extinction.
Did you ever think you would live to see the demise of education in the great Republic? Did you ever think that in 2010 you’d see quality and effective education provided to only a select few in America?
Currently, there are more than 50 million Americans that are functioning illiterates, and in 2015 the number will increase to more than 60 million. By 2025, it is estimated that there will be 90 million illiterate Americans, mostly youth and adolescents that will become one of the fastest growing populations in U.S. history.
Remember where you were because one day you'll tell your great grandchildren you were present during the "education genocide" of youth and adolescents in America.
How did we get to this chapter of an American tragedy?
Well it began with:
Chapter 1:
"How Parents and Caregivers Effectively Failed their Children."
Followed by...
Chapter 2:
"The Failure of the Community to Assists the Parents and Caregivers to Raise Our Youth and Adolescents."
Then there was...
Chapter 3:
"The Complete Failure and Betrayal of the Public Schools System."
Finally...
Chapter 4:
"The Rise of the American Penal System and the Need to Feed the Machine.”
We are all guilty because we fell way too short of supporting the children who looked to us--the adults--for nurturing, love, and guidance to become well-rounded beings with high morals and to be productive citizens in the universe. We are guilty!
Remember where you were. Remember the day, hour, minute and second because one day, you’ll tell your great grandchildren of the day you saw the great Republic’s citizens revert back to ignorance, and barbarism.

"Just Suppose."
Just suppose Muslims marched on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the deaths and inhumane treatment of family members in America and Europe. Would they be considered Terrorists?
Just suppose African Americans, and Latino Americans marched together on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the rising disparity of youth and adolescents of the same ethnicity being incarcerated. Would they be considered Thugs?
Just suppose Asian Americans marched on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the constant bullying inflicted on their children in schools around the country. Are they Agents of Chaos?
Just suppose Native Americans marched on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the terrible "genocidal" living conditions they endure because state governments provide very little or none of the basic, fundamental services that they require for sustainability. Would they be considered un-American?
Just suppose women of all nationalities marched on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the lack of local, state and federal funding to address the increase deaths to women due to domestic violence. Would they be considered Anarchist?
Consequently, just suppose members of the Tea Bag movement marched on Washington with guns to "peacefully" protest the federal government because they believe President Obama is going to take their guns, even though they were told carrying fire arms in Washington is illegal, but still they carry them. What are they guilty of?
