In January 2004, G.W. Bush brought up the Mexican immigration issue from out of the blue. There had been no major talk about immigration, no major newspaper articles, no major immigration problem that had occurred. So, what was the administration's purpose? Was it economic in nature? Were they searching for cheap labor from Mexico? Or did they feel a need to engage in the age old "divide and conquer" tactic against the working class?

when i was younger i was the victim of sexual abuse, my uncle started when i was 6 and it didnt stop until i was 15, when i turned 16 i moved into the house where he is living to try and stop it happening from anyone else. but i have recently found out that he not only did it to me but he did it to my sister and 2 of my cousins. today i have also found out that my grandfarther also did it to my sister and cousin. on top of that this year has gone really bad for me and i dont think i can take much more. iv lost my job and all form of income and im in debt and i have debt collectors coming round all the time. as a result of all this im clinically depressed. but what has shocked me the most is that the man i trusted the most in my life has been doing it to my sister and cousin. i dont know what to do, the police have been notified but the investigation could take years, i dont know if i can do it i need help

Do only white people know how to speak english properly?
Is that a notion in the media industry to recruit whites only as editors, journalists, and columnists in magazines and newspapers. We see such far and between colored people but they are hindered for roles in writing for a column or headline.

"Madeleine McCann's mother has returned to the UK for a brief visit - as a new campaign is launched to raise awareness about the missing four-year-old.

Kate flew out of Portugal with her brother and sister. They are joining Madeleine's father Gerry, who is already in Britain."

Well I guess this development answers a few things but also raises some questions.

1) It looks as though the McCanns don't have any travel restrictions put on them by the police and are free to come and go as they please.

2) Where the hell are the twins? The article would definitely have mentioned it had they taken them with them so once again the twins are left behind in Portugal.

3) Who is paying for the other McCann family members to keep coming out to visit them? You can bet your bottom dollar its coming out of the 'fund'. It says Kate returned with her brother and sister. The McCann's relations are always flying back and forth to the Algarve. Is this coming out of their own pockets?

From The Sun....May 6th

http://www.thesun.co.uk/articl.....45,00.html

Distraught Kate rang long-time friends Jon and Michelle Corner, the twins’ godparents, at their Merseyside home to break the news.

Jon, whose wife grew up with GP Kate in their home city of Liverpool, said: “She phoned at about 3am. She just blurted out that Maddie had been abducted.

“She said, ‘They’ve broken the shutter on the window and taken my little girl’. She’s still devastated. She’s very upset that the police don’t seem to be doing anything.”

Oddly enough....in the very same report.......

Resort boss John Hill said 70 staff and guests searched until 4.30am after the family raised the alarm, while border police, Spanish cops and airports were notified. He said: “It was a very emotional and frantic night.”
But he insisted there was NO physical evidence Maddie had been abducted from the apartment. He said: “We are still hoping Madeleine is asleep under a bush and we’ll find her sle

I wasn't sure from the story on Yahoo whether the oil and supplies that we shipped them was our way of buying them off (like a reward, OR if it was an end to some embargo that we were imposing on them.

I thought perhaps I was having a seasonal allergy, but any allegies caused by flora and fauna has NEVER caused my eyes to burn. I checked with friends and family and everyone is having the same problem. Is there any scientist out there who can tell us what might be discharged in the air right now.
Smog is a given for LA, but this is ridiculous. If the culprit is corporate, factory, or human related, they should be held responsible IMMEDIATELY!

Why does the media hype negative press up to make us cower in our homes? The newest 'End of Days' mania is global warming. Man made according to most media outlets and Al Gore. Even though a lot of top notch climatology scientists refute that claim. One news channel went as far as to say that Kenya, Africa's average temperature is going to be 180 degrees F, killing nearly all life there. Although they didn't include a date when that will happen. One person on the radio said, it'd probably take a few thousand years before it reached that temperature.

There are so many to choose from. Heres a sample to help refresh your memory about the McCann family.

I think at worst we were naïve. - Kate McCann

"The analogy that I like to use is a bit like when we were students and you’d got to your overdraft limit and you’d gone beyond it and there was just nothing left in the tank."

- Gerry McCann relating the toll the search has taken on him.


"if all three of the children had been taken it could have been even worse" - Gerry seeing the bright side of the whole situation.

"At least she would be recoverable" - John McCann using a nice turn of phrase to describe Madeleine as likely being damaged goods.

"I looked up at one stage at the statue of Our Lady of Knock, which was positioned in front of us at the time, and for all the world it could have been my daughter’s face." - Sue Healy, Kate's mother describing Kate's remarkable resemblence to a significant religious figure.
