Progressive Dream

Life is for the takers, and in this age there's a lot to take in. It is not enough to simply endevour, or to be ignorant of the lot of the others among us. Someone once said that when there is suffering anywhere, all of humanity suffers. To me that is a charge for each of us to do something about our lot, and do something for those less fortunate, and to strive for justice, and all of the many other high ideals.

Bill O'Reilly

I was watching the Bill O'Reilly show the other night (quite entertaining) and he and his guest were practically throwing a fit about how many immigrants there are in this country. --That part wasn't unexpected --But, then they started talking about how all the "aliens:--" "take us to the Motherboard"--in this country--"illegal and legal" were committing some of the most heinous crimes. The figure that they then threw out there was that twenty-something percent of all crimes in this country are being committed by "aliens, both illegal and legal."

I don't mean to be a professor of Semantics, but, this idea, that they made up in their heads just doesn't pass any kind of test. And the sad thing is that he had some congressman on agreeing with him and promoting his own inflamed, nonsensical rhetoric for a few minutes. If I can get footage, I will.

Anyway, all for now.
