  1. I've never known a Mexican who didn't work hard and seek to improve himself. But that's because I hire tradesmen. Menjivar's the best tree groomer in town, I think. Those guys know their business. They dressed up two shaggy shade trees (trash trees, but good-sized and great microclimate-providers) in my front yard for $700. 6 or 7 guys. Good equipment. The Don told me his truck and bucket lift were all paid for. Showed up at 3 and were done in about an hour-and-a-half. Clean as a whistle when they left. I think they gave good value and got a fair price. The whole crew sat with me and had a beer, as it was close to 5:00, they'd finished a little early, and I had a fridge full of beer. 3 or 4 ROUGH-lookin' dudes on that crew, I'll tell ya what. But they all knew their business and they hustled. If there are 2 white guys and 1 Mexican doing landscape, the Mexican gets as much done as the other 2. I think I'd keep up with him, if I were still fit, but that's why I pay people. Speaking of which, I better pay SweetLawn!

  2. They can't pay their retirees. Even those gummint jobs are going to go away, when people stop taking IOUs from the worst-rated state in the USA for bonds.

  3. I dunno if the whole state of Illinois is bankrupt, but Chicago's had it.

  4. I dunno. Whites and other colors mixing make some beautiful, smart babies. We're all the same species. It's MORE about getting everyone to understand about their rights and how to protect them, and whatever color, we've been giving them away to the snake-oil peddlers who pretend to have all the answers, to enrich themselves. It's a culture war. It's an information war. And my side's pretty persuasive, when you see the sweep of history and human progress the way I do, from "first among equals" traditions grafted onto Great Britain by Germanic invaders (The King rules by CONSENT, not Divine Right), to Magna Carta, the Enlightenment, with Locke and Hobbes, Blackstone, Wealth of Nations, Milton Friedman, Dierdre McCloskey... It's the way people work. It's the way the world works. Limited government is better than the alternatives. Anarchy sucks. But so does authoritarianism. The happy, imperfect medium is LIMITED government. Ours is not.

  5. You've just got to understand that Trump's just a salesman. He floats ideas, then reacts to the reaction to make it so you just can't say no to his proposal without looking the fool. He's like a mega-shark in DC, after years of dealing with municipal and state gov't, unions and organized crime in the Big Apple. Like Sinatra said, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. That's why Hillary thought she was a Rooseveltian shoe-in for President, only she didn't make it, there. She made her nut insider trading, down South.

  6. Notice how wide-eyed these people are? Now, I think we're seeing the reaction to the reaction. Wilson might've been an ass, but the alternative was to see the state go the way it is now so obviously going: straight to shit. And there's way more GOOD hispanics than "taker" hispanics. And they're realizing that their natural sentiments are dragging everybody down. They're seeing that it's unsupportable, what's being done, and yes, they do just want to work and raise their children in a safe environment. And the Democrats promise that, but can not deliver. Hoping to see a Libertarian tide rise in Cali. It's really the forward-thinking thing to do. On another front, Switzerland has denied citizenship to any immigrant on public assistance, and are otherwise tightening-up on immigration. And you're going to see more countries start following suit.

  7. No, thank you, HipHop Master. Come to the dark side, instead. Vote Libertarian.

  8. It doesn't matter, too much, when you stem that tide. You just have to cut it off, at some point. A country can absorb a huge slug, and digest it over time, generally for the benefit of all, because the GOOD shit the newbies bring helps everybody. And they all bring something good. Hell, just bringing fresh genes is good for the whole! Hybrid vigor. It's good stuff.

  9. But the newbie males better keep it in their pants, unless that woman wants to raise his kids.

  10. That non-affiliated party shore is growing!

  11. Rick Halverson: That piggy-bank is a poor substitute for actual businesses actually serving the needs of the community. Is Cali gov't really that selfish and short-sighted? Never mind. Dumb question.

  12. I skipped right over THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and THE U.S. CONSTITUTION!
