JD - Good I am taking this in a very light hatred manor - I was hoping it came across that way through email :)
As for the American empire and current illegal activity; it does not justify the breaking of laws in any way - I was retorting to the "liberal" (or conservative not sure which it was) curriculum regarding the Mexican American war. The light hatred nature of my mildly satirical retort is to show that it does not matter. But you cut it off too early by jumping to the point!!! - I was so going to go another round indicating that all those Mexicans flooding across the boarder would already have good American jobs if we just took the whole country over 150 years ago insted of stoping where we did ;) Now I have to let some one else fan the flames :) The whole point I would like to make is that truth depends greatly on your point of view. Don't recite rhetoric, think in a logical and scientific manor, don't cloud the issue, define the problem and develop a holistic and pragmatic approach. But I may not have been able to pull that argument off in an email forum any way so I suppose cutting to the chase (which is something that I encourage) is to be rewarded with a cessation of flame :) At lest from me, at lest for now ;) On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 6:33 AM, JD Austin <j...@twingeckos.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 21:41, Bryan O'Neal > <bryan.on...@theonealandassociates.com> wrote: >> >> Did you not even read you cited references? > >> Not that I am complaining.
