It's Time to Boycott Arizona

Everything has a price, in the end. No one is advocating to kill anyone off faster than someone else, or to silence any one. At least, not me. I have to go for today, but thanks for your thoughts.

Nothing when it comes to human and civil rights comes without some battle wounds be they economical or not.

Staying silent only kills us off faster.

This law clearly marks a group of people for racial profiling, not a far cry for other monstracities to follow.

Make sense?

Here is a link to the Los Angeles Times which has an entire series dedicated to the drug wars in Mexico, "Mexico Under Seige." The series began in 2008. I have not read every article.

I struggle with what is the answer, remedy to the current global economy and it's impact on humanity. Is there a remedy? Whatever it may be, I am convinced economics are tainted with beliefs that do not play fair. Is human nature capable of consistently playing fair? Can we really shed our fear and judgement?

I suspect that many of us believe we cannot make a huge differance in matters playing across the world stage. I refuse to accept that notion. One thought and action at a time. If nothing else, I can at least pause and extend myself beyond my own personal circumstances at times.

This LA Times series is graphic. You may choose to ignore what is happening right here in North America. I think it is at our collective peril to do so.

This forum thread on immigration concerns was once the hottest forum thread to read and participate in. Some of the members who posted here might not be around anymore but by commonly held knowledge on immigration concerns and such, one (myself included) can see how there has been literally not much progress toward fixing immigration policy.

I’m bumping this thread for others to read so people can map out and connect the proverbial dots, best as one can, concerning immigration concerns today— which is at best, the biggest flaw in policies affecting humans in our country and for others across the globe.

I myself mourn the loss of particular members, in the membership here, who no longer participate in very important conversations about policies affecting not only the LGBTQ+ family but also families of non-white composition.
