Illegal immigrants are people who want a future as much as you and me. Thats why they have there homeland to start a new life. Britain has conquered many places (Africa, N Ireland, Middle east) through out the world, in an aim to prosper from a country(s) resources. You could say its much the same as a person from another country to coming to set up a life for themselves. What do you think?

Gas prices continue to rise all the while the oil companies are recording record profits. You think if they were making so much money that the prices would drop not continue to rise.

My future husband and I are from MI who's economy sucks terribly. So we are trying to find a list of the states with the best economies. Does anyone know of a website that will give me a list of the best and the worst out of the 50 states.

We were thinking some place close to MI, but not here. So if we can stay more in the midwest that would be great.

I am just struggling to find some kind of certified list.
