i am going to have to agree with nezua “that’s a huge question, friend. there are many contradictions, gaps, and injustices in more than one law,” ther are more holes in every law and things need to be checked and rechecked. which unfortunatl is unfair to alot of different people

that’s a huge question, friend. there are many contradictions, gaps, and injustices in more than one law, and part of the problem is the patchwork quality of them. its not an easy answer. and i’m involved with a couple grassroots groups right now and that is the specific question we are all cookin on. these groups felt much less consequential early last year, for example, tho of course we poured all our hearts into what we worked on anyway. (and with results. not only did obamam answer us and provide questions to our survey (search this site for “sanctuary” and “immigration survey” and “obama” or “mccain”). pero por ejemplo, still find it hard to believe that cecilia munoz, someone i know and have been on lists and spoken to is now going to be working in the white house! so much going on.and a ton of people gathering to fight for these thigns. more and more every day. its very inspiring. and it has to be. because the tragedies are still stacking up.

ps, watch for a vid complement to this post that will be posted in an hour or less.

I’ve always thought it was bullshit that civil cases are exempt from the right to counsel anyway. If governments had to take real responsibility for the effects of the laws they pass, I don’t think there would be so much absurd and unnecessary legislation. Also, it would make shenanigans like this much harder to pull off.

Out of curiosity, what would you like to see happen in terms of immigration/border control reform? What’s your preferred outcome?

sweetleaf, you’re entirely too kind, but I’m grateful that you insist and persist in bringing your tremendous positive vibes to the bloggy party. There are so many hidden gems among us, in every day life, even in this rough cut world; and you’re one that shines bright and clear round here. Thank you. Peace.

no, actually, that’s a different number. you want to look further down the page, directly under that and in much smaller font.

i think that “10 more votes to go” has something to do with the user? i see it too. don’t understand. but it’s not the number i quoted. we’re sadly not far from that, a day later.

but i wonder if it constnatly shifts. if the votes are constantly being added to all categories, there’s some math happening as far as in what “place” it is, thus how many votes needed competing with other ideas/bills…

This is also totally unrelated, but I think you would like to know about the situation unraveling out here in the Bay Area.

Oscar Grant was brutally shot in the back while being arrested on New Years Day in Oakland, CA. After having an officer shove his knee into his neck, while another one held his arms, and yet another stood near, one police officer stood up, pulled his gun from his holster and shot him in the back while he was face down. I recommend you take a look at the different videos out there on the net. They are very telling.

“Justice for Oscar Grant.
Justice for Gaza.
End the government sponsored murders in the ghettos of Oakland and Palestine.”

Just wanted to make sure you knew.
