No. The illegal immigration issue and the Arizona law is the difference. Nobody wears an American flag shirt on St. Patrick's day for the purpose of demeaning an already marginalized group of people. They wear orange for that, and yes, if a school happens to be religiously polarized to the extent that this one is racially to the point that it's going to cause disruption of the educational environment, they'd get sent home too.

Margainalized? Are you kidding me? They've scammed their way into a power position in a pretty short amount of time, they know it, and don't care who else knows it. La Raza, "the race"....very subtle. In 20 years, this will be a 3rd world country, just like the suckholes they come from.

Having traveled most of the World, I see third world countries as essentially corrupt governments in league with corrupt monopoly business interests creating a huge disparity between rich and poor with the middle class being squeezed out.

When you have a pay for play government and business can make more money investing in the political system than their own business or their employees, investment in the future in equipment, technology and wages is depressed. That to me is the reason we may become a third world country in 20 years.

The shrinking of the middle class and the influx of cheap menial labor is really about our lack of investment which is the enginge for sustainable high paying jobs.

The other reality is our public school system is failing to create a skilled thinking labor force. We have been debating whether students should be allowed to wear flags on their shirts or if that should or shouldn't offend a minority portion of the school. The reality is our schools are out of control and are failing and when a principle tries to maintain a level of peace, he is depicted as anti-American. In reality many of the parents of these kids on both sides of the border have no business having children at all.

Wow, world birth control...I have a better idea. Why don't we all become gay? That would solve world population...unless we go the scientific route and create kids in the lab.

That's OK, Prince Myshkin.

That is me, simple mind, simple intellectual capacity.

But I am happy. Way happier than most people are. Wouldn't trade that in for anything. Peace just tends to be with me.

Los Angeles City Council Votes to Boycott Arizona Over Immigration Law

The 13-1 vote was largely symbolic since only a small percentage of the city's business dealings are affected

LOS ANGELES -- The City Council voted Wednesday to boycott Arizona businesses, making Los Angeles the largest city to take such action to protest the state's tough new law targeting illegal immigration.

The 13-1 vote, which came after emotional discussion in which several council members recounted their immigrant ancestors, was largely symbolic since only a small percentage of the city's business dealings are affected.

"An immigrant city, an international city, (Los Angeles) needs to have its voice heard," Councilman Ed Reyes said. "It is crucial this great city take a stand."

The resolution is expected to be signed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. It bars the nation's second-largest city from conducting business or reaching new contracts with Arizona businesses unless the immigration law is repealed, and also prohibits most city business trips to the state.

Los Angeles has investments and contracts in Arizona worth as much as $58 million, much of which involve airport, port and energy service that can't lawfully be affected by the boycott. That leaves about $7.7 million in city contracts that could possibly be affected, said Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who co-authored the resolution.

Some of those contracts include helicopter services, Taser guns, waste management, engineering and surveillance equipment.

"Maybe some of those jobs and businesses could come back to L.A. and California," Hahn said.

The resolution claims that Arizona's new law encourages racial profiling and is unconstitutional. The law, set to take effect July 29, requires police enforcing another law to question a person about his or her immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the United States illegally and makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally.

Several lawsuits seeking to block its implementation are pending in federal court.

Some polls have shown strong popular support for the Arizona law, and critics are concerned that other states may follow up with their own versions.

Several cities have passed resolutions or urged boycotts to protest the law, including California cities such as Oakland and San Diego. A nonbinding resolution approved Tuesday by San Francisco city supervisors urges a boycott of Arizona-based businesses and asks sports leagues not to hold championship games or tournaments there.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said the boycotts are unfortunate and misguided, primarily because the law mirrors a federal requirement that legal immigrants carry immigration papers.

"It's already the law in the United States, and I have a responsibility to stand up and protect the people of Arizona and we will do that," Brewer said Tuesday.

Charges that the law will lead to racial profiling are "just pure rhetoric," Brewer said.

"I find it really interesting that we have people out there that are attempting a boycott in favor of illegal actions in Arizona. That to me is just unbelievable."

Of the resolution in Los Angeles, Hahn said: "We want to stand back and say that we're against it. We're hoping that Arizona will be the last state to do this instead of just the first state to do it."

Gerry Miller, Los Angeles' chief legislative analyst, issued a report before the vote recommending the council suspend travel, cut contracts and refrain from making any new ones with Arizona-based firms. He said the city's airport, port and utility companies are run by semiautonomous city agencies and the council cannot compel them to follow the boycott.

The council asked the city's lawyers to report back in a week on which contracts could be terminated without incurring lawsuits.

Hahn also called for a review of the city's investments and divestiture of any pension funds and bonds proceeds invested in Arizona.

Councilwoman Jan Perry said the city should try to lure any organization considering holding a convention in Arizona to Los Angeles, while Councilman Richard Alarcon suggested offering Arizona businesses incentives to relocate to Los Angeles.

In a statement, Councilman Greig Smith, the lone dissenter, said he opposed the boycott because he did not believe taking action on another state's laws fell within the council's jurisdiction, and that the action didn't serve the city's economic interests.

"I have always opposed using the Los Angeles City Council to weigh in on non-related social issues that are not within the purview of Los Angeles," Smith said.

Los Angeles staged a similar ecoThe nomic boycott against South Africa during apartheid and against Colorado after voters in 1992 passed a state law repealing local ordinances that banned discrimination against homosexuals.

The side that has the best food. Duh!!!!

That will be easy to choose. The next Civil War will be between vegetarians and meat eaters.

Right off the bat we will have an advantage because we will have all of the steak knives.

Diet and Exercise to the Extremes

By MARK BITTMAN

Correction Appended

I went running with Scott Jurek on a clear, chilly morning last month, an easy four-mile loop in Central Park. He ran another few miles with 50 or so adoring fans, then another few by himself, for a total of about 15. After that he showered and came to my house to cook lunch before going for a late-afternoon jog of another 10 miles or so.
