| I was just informed by a good friend of mine last night that he was not able to register his nephew for the fifth grade here in Southern California because his nephew was here on a visitor's visa. I have a feeling this happened because my friend's nephew is Korean and not Mexican. I told him to ask the administrators at the school if they would have allowed him to register if he was Mexican. I wonder if they would have even dared ask about his status here in the U.S. if he was Mexican. Why is there a set of rules for Mexicans here in California and another set of rules here for all others. Now while I don't agree that any illegal immigrant should be allowed to use the resources of the American taxpayer, the schools could at least be consistent with their policies. No wonder there are certain people out there who feel that they are entitled to certain things in life while others simply follow the rules to obtain them.

So the President is ready to freeze interest rates on home loans for the next FIVE years!?!?!?!?
Wow, I should have bought a house before this crisis then. I would have been able to make up false earnings to qualify for a loan and then restructure my interest rates after a few years.
I wish that I could do the same with my credit card payments too. Oh wait, I only purchase things that I can afford and since I can't afford much, I don't purchase much of anything besides necessities (a house is not a necessity). I don't believe that I can say that I was tricked into signing the legal documents for my credit card payments either. Isn't it my own responsibility to agree to what I'm signing before I sign any documents?
And Bush says that this isn't a bailout because government money is not involved. This plan will help out around 1 million "home owners." If each home owner is absolved of $500/month in mortgage payments (this is a really low number), then 1,000,000 X $500 X 12 = $6 trillion/year that companies are just supposed to write off like it's nothing. I just learned today that only the government is capable of bailing people out.
Morals of this story:
1) Buy something that you can't pay off so that the government passes some law to help you out.
2) Lie about your income to "qualify" for a home
3) Don't take responsibility for documents that you sign (especially if you can't read English, bleeding heart liberals will feel sorry for you and have the government help you out).
4) When in doubt, blame companies for "misleading" you even though you signed everything.
5) It's not considered a bailout if companies have to pay for it. Just like it's not amnesty when you allow people who entered this country illegally to become citizens.
6) I was hoping that with the huge numbers of foreclosures, the inflated real estate market in California would finally come down to where it should be so that I could afford a home soon, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Can someone explain to me how a 4 bedroom house can possibly be worth $570,000 in Rancho Cucamonga, CA? | | |

The article is about a student group that would like universities to allow students with concealed carry permits to carry their firearms to school since they can already legally carry their firearms to movie theaters, public parks, etc. So far, Utah is the only state that has a blanket policy allowing students to carry their registered firearms to campus. Policies in other states vary from state to state and from school to school.
The article still bashes our rights to carry guns, but this is the first article that I've seen where the other side is presented in a non-redneck type of way.
The arguments against allowing students who already have a concealed carry license still follow the general misconceptions and the general media has done a very good job in brainwashing several generations of people. Here are the examples:
1) "If there's more we need to do, we certainly need to do that, but
introducing random access to firearms is not the solution," said Hamm.
"You have more victims, not fewer victims."
Response: The group is advocating only people with concealed carry permits be allowed to legally carry their firearms with them to campus. The actual process to obtain a concealed carry permit varies from state to state, but they all follow this general process: Applicant must be at least 21 years old, background check done on individual, instructional use on deadly force, fingerprinting, and most states require individuals to be proficiently accurate with each handgun that they plan on carrying. The last time I checked, obtaining and maintaing a concealed carry weapons permit is still a privelege.
2)"Candace Soya, a 20-year-old student at TSU-San Marcos, said she
fears chaotic shootouts. If someone decided to open fire on the
tree-lined quad in the middle of her campus, armed students would
likely make matters worse, she said.
"It's not a situation where you can fight fire with fire," Soya said." Response: How can matters be worse than a rampage shooter killing as many people as he wishes? I believe the response from police officers who arrive after most of the carnage has been inflicted is to "fight fire with fire." I also like how the reporter puts her opinion down like it even matters. It goes back to this perception, "I don't like guns/I'm scared of guns/I don't know how to use guns/I don't know how to handle this type of situation, so someone else with a gun would not know how to properly handle this situation, unless of course it's the police. Like a person who was interviewed said, and like I've been saying for years now, "Gun control only affects people who abide by the laws, not people who disregard them."

| Yes, I'm ok, thanks for the people who called. A little smoky and ashy here, but I'll live.
Ready for the political part? Here goes:
1) The police shot the suspected arsonist after a vehicle chase AND the suspected arsonist rammed his vehicle into police officers. For the morons out there, you can't taser a guy through a car.
2) President Bush can't give states aid UNLESS the state government i.e. the governor asks for it. The governor of Louisiana didn't ask for help until it was too late. The Governator asked for help on Sunday. That's the difference in the response time. If President Bush had forced Federal help upon the states, we would still be criticizing him, only in this case it would be for overstepping state authority.
3) The funding for the Iraq war has nothing to do with the "lack of funding" for fighting the fires. Natural disasters are the responsibility of the local government. If the local government can't handle it, then they must ask the state government for help. If the state government can't handle it, then it must ask the federal government for help. Last time I checked, we have plenty of planes and helicopters to fight the fires (around 90), but the wind conditions prevented most of these vehicles from participating. Also, reporters have stated that there is not a lack of food for the evacuees. There are currently over 10,000 firefighters fighting the blazes. So where is this lack of funding?
4) "Greedy corporations" Well these greedy corporations for some reason or another decided to donate a lot of food, clothes, and toys for the evacuees. "Greedy" insurance companies set up mobile aid stations not only for their policy holders, but also for the neighbors of their policy holders. How strange.
5) We'd have an easier time clearing brush if it weren't for the environmentalists.
