Where is the "three times a week" option?

Kudos to the sherrif though too for keeping calm and not overreacting to the situation regardless of what he may have said.

I'm sorry, but I have to give the kudos to the guy. He obviously wasn't drunk, or he couldn't have evaded them, and other than the one punch, he really wasn't violent. He also had his heart in the right place, listening to the statements about his taxes paying the idiot.

I find it hard to believe you've interviewed very many of the local hispanics, or maybe it's just like that where you live.

Actually, the father of my niece's two children is illegal, and I've talked to many of his friends, who are all illegal. Quite a few of the students here at the University of Oklahoma *WOULD* be considered illegal, but their parents came over just before they were born. That last group is funny, because they realize how stupid their parents look 20 years later still talking about how they want to go back to "Good Ol' Mexico".

Here in Oklahoma there are mostly two kinds of Spanish-speaking people. One is the kind who hates America and thinks that we exploit them, so they will take the money they make and move back to Mexico and start a business. The other kind are those who came across to have children so that they would get Section 8 housing and food stamps for at least 18 years.

I honestly have no interest in reaching out to either of these types of people in any way. Of course, being a Libertarian, I think welfare should go away and the border should be open, but I don't really want to listen to Spanish.

This is the same crazy arguement I have with people here at college. They all looove welfare and socialism, but they don't have any answer for me when I ask them about me. See, I make about $22,000 a year with three children, and pay for full time university tuition at a 4 year university, which runs about $5000 a year.

I still manage to find $25 a month for Ian and Manwich, give away another $250 a month in charity, own a Civic and a Lexus, three >3.0 GHz computers, and have less than $17,000 total debt, including school loans and one of the cars. If I can do it, ANYONE can.

The standard response is that I'm more dedicated than the drug addicts and I need to support higher taxes to help them be like me....
