My conservative Mexican father told me;
"Mijo (son), Only by the grace of god and white people are we Americans"
My grandfather was treated like a dog but that is nothing compared to the blessing of being an American.
Bush will never stop selling out his country for his cheap unrepresented labour. That is what the free market is.
CJ - protesting whatever. When I feel helpless - when letter writing, petition signing and voting don't get anywhere, it makes me feel better. <shrug> my perogative really.
Amigo - so, what do you think of the guest worker legislation?
k, protesting is fine, but don't do so by denigrating the symbol of what allows you to do so. It makes you look silly.
Says you. I'll do as I like.
I've been a freak all my life - I so don't care anymore if people point and laugh at me.

If the symbol is suppose to represent my freedom then it is worthless if I can't protest by denigrating the symbol. The very act of denigrating the symbol is freedom. Take that freedom away and the flag is worthless.
The internet is full of people bragging about how they flew the flag upside down when Clinton was President out of protest. If we had deported all of them Gore would be President now.

They are idiots.
I just smoked my cigars backwards after licking them in a suggestive manner.

There's a point I will never agree with you on, no matter what anyone says, not even the USSC.
If they're illegal immigrants, then they don't have a right to bitch and walk down the street floating an American flag upside down.
If they really are US citizens, so be it. There have been hippies around forever, what's the difference?
The hippies were too stoned to figure out how to get a Mexican flag actually flying above the stars and stripes.
its just a flag.
Thats all.
It doesnt carry the power.
The people who live under it have the power.
They make the country that the flag represents.
Cloth is cloth.
thats my stand point.
i've never understood most americans morbid fascination with some stars and stripes
i'm a canadian by virtue of the fact that i was born in cnada, i like my country, pay my taxes and obey the laws, i could give a rats ass about my flag, it's not what makes me what i am
i consider my self first and foremost a human being, and luckily we have no flag
I was arrested once in Kansas because my VW bus was painted like the US flag. fuc*k that ****.
Dys, I don't care who ya' are, that right there's funny!
I like this version better.
Hunk included or there's no deal.
Eryemil! What's he got stuffed in that speedo?
(pointing at k)
