Dianavan-

You're spot on in this debate, and that's not easy to do when you are not a resident of the community that all of you "from away" are talking about. Ron is off-base on this incident and Dickey... oh well, why waste time trying to even reason with him.

Life for the Somalies in Lewiston is not going to be easy but it's more promising than in Somalia, and they're willing to work and learn. Fortunately there are enough people in greater Lewiston to encourage them in this process.

If I had the power I'd be temped to transport some Mudcatters to Somalia and watch how well they adjusted to the society they found themselves in.
