Mick Brigden - please make sure Joe is booked for some Australian shows huh? What can I do to help make that happen, just drop me a line...

*sigh* I see 3 shows are booked for France already, go you lucky Frenchies!!!!

Rygel - you gave me lots of kind help over at the other place i remember, hope you get a Belgian show with Joe.

Do The Stu- Apologies is one of my favorite songs. I started listening to Grace Potter (& The Nocturnals ) after watching the "Cortez Jam" for the first time. She sings with a lot of passion & has an awesome voice.

Castle's right. Illegal immigrants cause a lot of problems in the U.S. They come here with nothing and then try to steal it from other people. They also traffic A LOT of drugs. Has anybody watched Border Wars on National Geographic?

Border Wars-Illegal Crossing

Newsweek: Why Arizona is afraid of immigrants

I'm sick of these aliens too!!! Parking their fecking spacecraft in our backyards and then trying to use their bloody anal probe on us!!! HOW F#@&ING DARE THEY!!!!!!!!

FATAPE: LMAO!!! Here's a Mexican beer for you, smuggled illegally into your country just to stay on subject :D CHEERS!!

Third World sess Pool. Wow. That actually is very close to the truth right now. And it's happening at lightening speed.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people in this country might be missing the bigger picture with this bill in Arizona. I can't imagine for a second that they think it's going to hold up in federal court. You really have to think that this was done to open the eyes of the government who has been on and off the fence about this issue for years. Meanwhile, record numbers of illegals are crossing the borders everyday. As far as I can tell from all accounts, there hasn't been anyone just yanked off a street corner and forced to show proof of citizenship. At least not yet.

Something drastic has to happen about this issue. We are so quickly becoming a country that doesn't want to "inconvenience" anyone at the sake of their safety and protection.

Campbell - The world would be a boring place! =)

Immigration really is a complicated issue. And what bugs me is so many people are reacting to this bill (or the issue in general) without thinking.

I've seen some people compare this to Nazi Germany, which is just absurd...nothing Hitler ever did was based on the concept of "reasonable suspicion" like this bill is (just like so many other laws not at all related to immigration).

It also bugs me when people defend illegal immigration by saying the US was built on immigration. Illegal immigration and immigration are two completely different things, and you can't use one to defend/rationalize the other. Maybe immigration restrictions need to be loosened, but painting a picture that Arizona hates all immigrants isn't the way to do that.

I've seen some proposed solutions to the immigration problem that are about as far to the left politically as this Arizona bill is to the extreme right. I don't think either extreme is the correct way to go, but as I said in my other post hopefully this will force the federal government to finally act on the issue.

She's also kinda cute, and my age! :-) She lives on the other side of the country, though...argh.

I have a busy day today so I don't know if I'll get to watch it until tomorrow, but we'll see.

Hi Everyone.

Earlier today, I went to Best Buy and picked up the Chickenfoot DVD. Woo-hoo! I'm excited about that.

DTS: Austin, the winning time was 15:34, which means I was 3 minutes and 7 seconds behind. 2nd place was 14 seconds behind. 3rd was about 2 minutes, and 4th-6th was three minutes.

Elpp: Jose, thanks for the praise on my running. Sooner or later, I'm going to get my VISA/Passport and I'm going to travel to places and do some running there. I would like to do a marathon in Mexico or somewhere in the Central America area sometime. Thanks again for your comment on the guitar bug. I've just been thinking about it.

Cappy Steve: Happy Star Wars day to you to.

Satriella: Thanks. I love to run because of the feeling, experience, and people cheering you on, especially in races.

DTS (again): Austin, I agree with you that immigration is a complicated issue. There's so many different laws and bills about it and I don't get into it.

Oxley11: Thanks for the links.

Joe: Thanks for the blue, we appreciate it. I agree with you on the sb 1070 bill. That is such a horrible thing. I hope you're doing well. Best to you.
