kimballt@pacbell.net - 27 Aug 2005 05:55 GMT I work at a rocket company. We have been forced to relocate our static fire tests for large SRBs to Edwards Airforce Base to avoid large fees from the state of california for air permits to cover the smoke we make.
The other day I was reading in the Sacramento BEE (our local newspaper). It turns out that California is planning to do the same for farmers. California is considering requiring diary farmers to pay for permits in order to let their cows fart! I'm serious! That is how far these wako's have gone.

This isn't "compensation", it's just plain old government extortion. No one's been harmed, no one can prove they've been harmed, and the money isn't going to anyone who's even claimed to have been harmed.

Sir, you are consuming valuable O2, and exhaling copious amounts of CO2, not to mention expelling ridiculous amounts of methane gas.
I hereby DEMAND that you pay taxes to compensate for this damage.

Reece Talley - 27 Aug 2005 09:51 GMT The height of stupidity is that we continue to elect Feinstein and Boxer to the Senate as well as that bunch of crooks running our state legislature. The PRK is an entitlement state. Every misfit and weirdo you can think of has his or her hand out for some form of compensation. Bovine flatulence is just another venue for raising taxes and redistributing the wealth from those who work at something productive to those who either do nothing productive or who fail to work all together. The latest little episode revolves around some shmuck who got in the way of a gangster's gun. One round to the body and another to the head..complete with brain tissue on the sidewalk. Paramedics pronounced him dead...no pulse no respiration no pupil response, covered him with a sheet and moved on to a wounded party. The crowd saw movement under the sheet and figured the paramedics made a mistake. (since none of these idiots ever passed a basic biology class, death movements from major head trauma never even occurred to them) A minor riot broke out that had the local Nation of Islam chief arrested for attacking two cops. Now the NoI is aligned with the local gangs and is threatening a riot if the LAPD doesn't apologize and ante up some loot. LA is a s#%$hole and the PRK is nothing more than a breeding ground for thugs, racial extortionists and frustrated socialist/communists.

Reece Talley - 27 Aug 2005 15:25 GMT "And there's the grovernator who has pissed off just about everyone one way or another and I'm happy to say I did NOT vote for him"
I did vote for him and would gladly do so again. He has pissed off folks because he won't kowtow to the unions and the special interest groups. That special election he's calling for is a direct result of the unwillingness of the legislature to act on anything that limits entitlement spending. Why do you think Kalifornians have so many initiatives on the ballot? It's because our elected officials are either chicken s$%*^ or owned by special interest groups. Since they refuse to act, the people in desperation are compelled to rely upon initiatives, referendums and special elections. This is no way to run a state and it's costly as hell. We should have better but unfortunately, we have exactly what we tend to elect.

Starlord - 27 Aug 2005 20:31 GMT Ya right, he goes to NYC to raise megabucks for pushing his chickensh*t bills onto a special election which uses up taxpayer moneys that could have been used to support some of the things he's so fast to try and kill off.
There are at lest 2 small countys which are NOT going to have the election at all, because they are small and can not afford the $3 million it'd cost them. As I said HE should be made to pay for the whole operation and then when his bills get shot down, maybe he'd learn a lesson. But I don't think so, he's nothing but another raygun ronnie but without the raygun. At lest there's one good thing, he'll never make it to the whitehouse like ronnie did.
And with what the US Surprem count say, that groverment workers can raise all the soft money they want to for funds to fight against his bills, he's in for a long hard ( and losing ) fight. Already his apirovel rating has gone down to almost the same sad level as bush's level. Two losers in the same sinking boat and the Indian tribes are giving him a hand too, by making the hole in the boat even bigger.
I'm not alone in thinking that he should have stayed in hollywood.

Starlord - 27 Aug 2005 22:12 GMT Well BFD, I put my cards on the table face up and if you don't care for than BFD. His ratings have gone downhill. For awhile there was a bunch in DC who wanted to do away with that part that would keep him out of the white house, but that little deal was killed off.
He's been very good at getting teachers, cops, firemen, and others lining up against him and his bills. He may very well become a one term wonder.
I still say that HE should be made to pay for the whole Oct. operation, after all, he's got lots of deep pocket supporters in NYC and DC. They could help him pay the $5 billion it'll cost the State.

But anyway, I think a system of hoses and accumulator pumps, would be a better way to go, like modern day milking machines. In fact, You could extract the methane while you were milking the cows and kill two birds with one stone.

We could just use the illegals to catch the cow farts, somewhat like a catalytic converter. Just insert the "intake" end of an illegal alien into the "output" end of the cow, and when he's full replace him with another one. There seems to be an endless supply. ;)
BTW, I read in the paper recently how the Mexican politicians are complaining about our attempts to keep illegals out of the country, which they claim shows a lack of respect for Mexico. Hey, why should anyone respect a country that actually _encourages_ millions of its citizens to illegally invade another country? Not to mention the rampant corruption.

So they obviously ARE taking jobs from Americans. If the illegals weren't filling those jobs, someone else certainly would. You're not talking about picking cabbages -- unlike farm labor, construction is not something people generally spurn. If the contractors there are hiring illegals, it's because the bastards are too cheap to pay a decent wage.
In any case, there is never ANY excuse for leaving our borders open and letting anyone, from anywhere, avoid scrutiny. Secure borders are ALWAYS necessary to the safety of our nation and the preservation of our freedom -- and even moreso when we are at war with terrorists desperately seeking ways to strike at us.

Randy http://vernarockets.com/
Reece Talley - 28 Aug 2005 15:42 GMT A brief history lesson is in order before I make this next point. Back when California was considering coming into the union, there was a big debate over whether or not it would be a free or slave state. In truth, California would never adopt slavery for two very key reasons. First, it was not set up for plantation type crops. Of course, had it been feasible, it could have been but this never happened due to other competing issues such as the gold strike and the war. Second, California had the Mexican. His labor was cheaper than that of a slave for a bunch or reasons. He did not have to be purchased. Nor did he have to be guarded. He never ran away and when you were through with him, you just turned him away. Age was never an issue like it was with an owned slave. If he became too old, you fired him. If he were too young, you didn't hire him. Sickness was likewise not an issue. What did it matter if the Mexican got sick? He was replaceable. Thus, you has an endless supply of cheap labor. Add to that the 200 years of social conditioning the Spanish government had imposed upon them and the spiritual fatalism that the Catholic church had imbued them with (not to mention the idea of permanent social class) and you've got the perfect worker. Cheap, available and socially static.
The above is historical reality. It is also repugnant and shameful; firstly for the Mexican for ever tolerating this system but even more so for the white men who perpetrated this injustice. At least for the Mexican, there was some nobility in the work accomplished. There was nothing to be proud of for the whites. It was an evil imposed on a weaker social group by a powerful majority and it condemned in perpetuity, millions of their descendants to the same "defacto" slavery. So while it's true, California was not a slave state under the law, it was certainly a slave state in daily reality though not protected as such by the constitution's property laws.
Fast foreword to the present. The illegals among us today are these same defacto slaves. They exist because they can be economically exploited by the upper class. Of course, in our more socially conscious world, there are social repercussions. The Mexican must have medical care and his children must have schooling. Add to that the need to contain and control the Mexican's behavior and the courts become over-burdened with cases. Fully 80 % of all drunk driving arrests in the state involve illegals. The number of domestic abuse cases is equally high. More than 40% of the prisoners in CA's high security prisons are illegals convicted of violent crime. The over-all majority of Hispanic gang members are illegals and the majority of teenage pregnancies can be traced to this same group as well. Who pays for all of this? The middle class. The rich who insist on keeping the borders open sure don't. The taxes they pay make up a much smaller proportion of their disposable income than those paid by a middle class worker. it remains, even with taxes, far cheaper to pay the illegal minimum wage than it does to pay the taxes that cover the real cost of his being in the US. The social problems associated with illegals could for the most part, be avoided by their moving up into hire income brackets. Slowing the influx across the border would also give the majority time to forcibly acculturate the Mexican. Once we train out the "peasant" mentality and we instill English language skills, they will rise in status and they will also rise in income. The end result will be that they mainstream into society and become financial and social contributors. Think about it. How many potential Einsteins are wasting away in carwashes and jails?
As bad as this is for the Mexican, it is worse for the white majority. The whole process of paying for this mess is stripping away valuable resources that could/should be devoted to societal advancement and enhancing the quality of our lives. A select few benefit from the cheap labor while the rest of us foot the bill. Add to that the none-to-subtle racisim that this whole system begets and perpetuates and the moral debasement becomes even worse. Any people who can allow this system to continue are or shortly will be, morally bankrupt. This grows like a cancer. If one can do this to a fellow human in one area of life, the barriers that protect us from exercising even greater evil upon each other grow weaker and weaker. Eventually, we adopt cruelty and inhumanity as virtues, shoot, we even find it entertaining and insist on it being packaged and presented to us in the form of music and visual media . Violence becomes dejure. And we become like the ancient Romans who became captivated by their own lusts; greed, violence and moral/sexual debauchery.
The borders must be closed and the illegals must be prevented from entering. Then we must be equally ardent in our efforts to educate and elevate their children, who by virtue of their American birth, are fully citizens of this country. All future immigration should be strictly held to a quota. These limits must be in accordance with what our social system can process and most importantly, we must insist upon complete acculturation and assimilation. There simply cannot be two moral value systems competing for recognition. If we do these things we can end this shameful practice and elevate us all. Even Mexico, once deprived of its social safety valve, will have to deal with its horrific poverty and ignorance. The ruling elite such as Vincente Fox will loose their protected racial status and the color barrier that exists in Mexico will come down.
This stuff makes me angry as hell. I hate even to talk about it because so many people are so blind to what is going on. I feel most of my words fall on deaf ears so I usually remain silent. Every once in a while though, something ticks me off enough to speak up. For some reason, this was one of those days. If you don't agree with me fine, I'm not going to argue with you. The facts remain the same though. The illegal is a de facto slave and his existence perpetuates racial and social discrimination. His existence cost us far more than he contributes and it is as hurtful to us as it is to him and his progeny.

Reece Talley - 28 Aug 2005 17:15 GMT You know, what's equally sad is that there is a key aspect of Hispanic culture that is so easily exploited..the work ethic. Hispanic men and women work and they work hard. This fits well with the Puritan work ethic that permeates our culture. What is missing is the idea of social responsibility and delayed gratification. Centuries of unrest and revolution have taught many Hispanics that one should live for the moment. Savings and investment are impossible when the government may change in a moment's notice. Thus, if you have $100 spend it. Spend it on your friends and family because they are the only constants. Make children because they bring you happiness. The church tells them no birth control...abstain from marital relations instead. Fat chance. If the world denies you every other pleasure what remains? Ignorance of other possibilities and other potential futures is maintained by the idea that one must begin work as soon as possible and by the cultural concept of peasantry.
We are missing out on a great deal of potential societal gain here by perpetuating this system. If this love of hard work could only be coupled with education and self-restraint think of what we might accomplish together.
As yourself why Hispanics come to the US. What do they want? They want work. They want food. They want a future for their children. Sound familiar? It should. It's the thing that drove so many Europeans to these shores 100 years ago. The great "unwashed" of a century ago has become us. The same can happen to the illegals too if we can control the tide and if we devote ourselves to aculturaization and education. We are after all, made of the same genetic material and possessed of the same potential for greatness.

While I admire the rosy sentiment, Reece, I have to fault you on a few historic details. Many of the Irish who "emigrated" in the 19th century were, in fact, transported. That was a common punishment given to Irish guilty of the crime of being poor in time of famine. The Irish who survived the trip on the coffin ships (there was no economic incentive for the captain of a coffin ship to ensure the continued health of his human cargo) had to take jobs other immigrants had the luxury of turning down. Many jobs were closed to the Irish. "No Irish Need Apply" was often posted on hiring notices. The railroads were built on the backs of Irish transportees. Coal miners were largely transported Irish.
This doesn't excuse the exploitation of the Hispanic one bit, Reece, but don't delude yourself with the idea that European immigrants all came voluntarily. They came here because they had no other choice. And unlike the Mexicans, they had no way of easily getting back to their homeland.

Shortly after he called and wanted to get this gun back and give it to the police. I asked about it and was told his father was so scared to come home at night from the rail yards that he carried it for protection.

Herbivores evolved to "steal" the nutrients plants had so patiently collected; carnivores found a more concentrated source - the herbivores! So one could argue it's in our nature to take advantage of the weaker/slower/less sophisticated; to "acquire" more than we "earn." When we stop doing this, we've become truly human.

Culture? Weather you are assimilated into 'our' culture depends on what part of town you're in and which part you came from. None of this stuff is something you know immediately.

Case in Point 20 years ago there were NO mexicans on any of the Bluegrass Horse Farms around here: they were populated by the eastern Ky white trash and the por inner city blacks from Lexington; who did the tobbacco planting and harvesting: poor whites and blacks... NOW all of that is done by Mexicans In Lexington City proper, the mexicans took over the west part of town and now its called Little Mexico... the poor white and blacks moved out of that area....
They have taken over most of the construction labor jobs and lawncare businesses....
And why? Because they can be hired and fired at will; they accept lower wages which benefit the farm owners; they will work 12-16 hr days in violation of labor laws; they don't complain or know their rights like citizens do,etc etc etc
And think about this: 30% of the people locked up in our prisons right now are illegal aliens... they are costing citizens billions of daollars a year to "house them"... the damage they do to our society by raping,killing,etc is inmeasurable, when all they have to do is flee back across the border were we don't even have an extradition treaty.....
and finally:
The "quality" of the people who are entering this country leave alot to be desired; I mean its not like the best and brightest of mexico and central america are coming here. And I don't want to hear any BS arguments about how they are just trying to make a better life for themselves. If they want to do that I suggest, they overthrow their corrupt government and start again down there.
