Thumbs up Well, It's About Time

It's great to see Az. making good laws and rolling back the stupid laws. Now I can get my shopping done before the game or race.

Maybe the whole "Immigration Bill" spectacle is just a smokescreen so they could sneak this one through? If so, I call it "ingenius".

Blue laws are just plain silly in this day and age. For example, I live in a semi-rural town on the northern fringe of Montgomery County, MD. MoCo is likely one of the most progressive, prosperous counties in the nation (for better or worse). Yet, the town of Damascus where I live is dry.

A ballot initiative appears every couple of years to discard this bizarre anachronism. Yet the traditionalists and do-gooders defeat it every time, much to the chagrin of the business community (particularly restaurant owners). As a result, there are no good places to eat in Damascus, yet there are plenty a few miles up the road in both directions (not to mention liquor stores). Without the margins from alcohol sales, nobody is going to open a decent restaurant in Damascus. A typical " cut off the nose to spite the face" reaction, methinks.

My attitude to those do-gooders is if you don't want to drink, then don't. Especially as they are probably putting their property taxes up by being so damned stupid.

From
the L. A. Times
1. 40% of
all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million
people) are working for cash and not paying taxes.
This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working
without a green card.
2.) 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3.) 75...% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
5.) Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention
centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6.) Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are
living in garages.
7) The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9.) 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10). In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are
10.2 million people in L.A. County
10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)

Less
than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% areon welfare. Over 70% of the United States
' annual population growth and
over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons
are illegal aliens .

We are fools for
letting this continue You can't enter any other country illegally why is it racism when you do it here!

We've all see that shit before. (Yawns.)

Anyhow, I applaud Airizonas move to roll back the "Blue Laws".
Which is what this thread was about to begin with.
