I agree with you Mr. A...although I´d like to point out the fact there is a huge immigrant natualized citizens who are changing the complexion and culture in the USA.

It probably is that where I live has more immigrants than the "heartland" (which is pretty pale), that is in the SF Bay Area. For example, just in the last 20 years we have had a large Afghan immigration, not to mention the already very large Philipean community, the Indians, the various South Asian communities, the various Horn of Africa group.  It´s easy to find bread from Ethiopia and Eritria, and exotic vegetables from South Asia. I´ve discovered different types of Korean Kimchee. The girls who prepars my moring expresso are from Bulgaria or Eritria, my bank has people from Latin America, Afghanistan, Russia and more. 

As an example, fifty years ago it was hard to find sushi, now it´s over the place. You can find it in almost any Super Market. 

By the third generation people usually are mixed with other races and ethnicities. God bless the immigrants. They bring  energy and fresh vision. 

I hope Obama does a good job, but he is just one tiny cog in the wheel, and as you see, there are way too many who do not wish him well. I can´t imagine how anyone could have actually voted for the "other" guy. Were they that ignorant as to their own well being?

Interesting, the first two links don´t work, but the last one leads to a site that allows you to downoad and view the whole book.  Beautiful illustrations, thanks.

Do you have anything to add to that, like a link?

There are some here who were very interested in the American Indian Movement....of which Mr. Means was a leader of.

May he rest in peace.

Statement From Russell’s Family

October 22, 2012

Hello our relatives. Our dad and husband, now walks among our ancestors. He began his journey to the spirit world at 4:44 am, with the Morning Star, at his home and ranch in Porcupine. There will be four opportunities for the people to honor his life to be announced at a later date. Thank you for your prayers and continued support. We love you. As our dad and husband would always say, “May the Great Mystery continue to guide and protect the paths of you and your loved ones.”

Ha ha ha....I forgot about that one. 

I assume this is a very dry joke? You don´t seriously suggest/expect us to take anything touched by the famous Islamaphobe David Horowitz seriously, do you?

great on all of it Henry, however I can imagine the stress when looking at the last thing....

Might I suggest a food stuff regional to the place they are coming from. Of course, anything from pig, or alcohol might not be a great idea as many Turks do not eat pork, or imbibe. Even if one did bring an alcoholic beverage, it wouldn´t be enjoyed by the whole family, only the men in most cases. 

Here where I am I often bring See´s chocolates, or sour dough bread when visiting other places. 

Yes, I´d find the big rock problematic. Although I´d probably starve to death, or be eaten by cannibals. Taking a shotgun to someone over food goes against my nature (I can say now as I sit here with a full stomach). I´d rather just give them the food or water, and, unfortunatly with the way we are depleting our resources, it may come to that. 

I´m not sure on this, but it may be possible if you can prove Turkish or Ottoman ancestry, you may be able to apply for citizenship. I´m not sure though. I know there are other countries, like Ireland where if you can prove at least one grandparent´s Irish citizenship, you can apply. It was that way a few years ago, perhaps that has now changed.
