Thread Name: To Edward Snowden, With Love
Subject: RE: To Edward Snowden, With Love
Insulting the President of Bolivia is a very bad move. He deserves as much respect as any world leader. We all learned a valuable lesson here, one that our neighbors to the south will not forget anytime too soon. After decades of being trampled on by the CIA, we're all a bit tired of this kind of thing.
We're always talking about immigration, securing the border etc. Ok, fine. My mom is a retired health nurse and she told me that the "migrant workers" are the nicest people in the world. They work very hard for peanuts and their first priority is family. A few years back, we had an issue where a local supermarket was making them unwelcome to come in and buy food. It became front page news and was quickly sorted out. Just the same, exactly where were the people who help gather our food supposed to get their own? Oh yeah, it got sorted out. Many people were outraged. Bunch of liberals ruining the country, right? Yeah right.
This year, they are cutting 14 positions, ten in the fire department and four cops. There's no money. We hear this all the time. But when they want to spend, money magically appears. Did you ever notice how that works? All this bitching constantly. THOSE people and their free health care and free education is it? Wake up.
