[RP TownTalk] Posting Suggestion

[OurDollMom at aol.com]

I have been reading the exchanges on Town Talk
about the immigrant situation in the USA.  
   Our great country was founded by immigrants
   We "immigrants" booted the American Indian
    A very unkind thing to do to the orig.peoples
    Americans feel threatened by immigrants
    Their answer is to "boot" out the immigrants
    Hitler booted his jews to protect his own
    Jews & Palestine fighting to the end
    Iraq groups fighting to the end
    African groups fighting to the end
One common "thread" is we cannot live together
If you threaten my "rights" you have to go
Our country will fall with "you" in it
I have to protect my Rights & privileges in USA
USA did not fall your when your family immigrated
USA will not fall with its immigrants now
But those that do feel this way - what/who gave 
you the right to have one single  "right" that is
at the expense of another human? It is my right to
smoke & I dont care if you get cancer. My right to 
drive drunk - if you get in my way-oh well!. I would 
have more rights if you were not here - so you must go.
If you say Then they should not come here - think
back, your family came here or you would not be here.
Immigrants will always come because they want to
better their life, better their children's life--just like
you want to better yours & keep what you have. But 
are you going to keep what you have or what you 
might have had in the future - at another person's
expense???  Is this what we are about??Is this
what you want to be remembered for?  I think it is
the "attitude" that I object to. Working together to
solve challenges in a understanding caring way is
so much more humane, unselfish. If we & the
world keep fighting over this challenge, maybe 
our spiritual lesson is to drop the attitude &
work together for the betterment of all...even if
it means a little less for each.

You don't need to be Frederico Fellini to see the subtitles  developing 
here in the most recent threads of TownTalk. The pitchforks are  being thrust 
into the air, German accents asking "Vere are your papers"  wafting up from 
the no-so-great state of Arizona into Riverdale Park. If I  were from El 
Salvador, I might be telling my young children "If anyone asks,  we are from 
Iceland."  


There's an ugly pot of stew brewing and some of the cooks ought to be  
rethinking their menus...

Thanks, Kathy!

Also you can go to the top of the  email and click on the address to just 
send a 'fresh' posting.   You can cut and paste the subject if you'd like.

Thanks also  for the great exchange of opinions regarding the overcrowding 
of  single family homes.  So much of what people said was soooo  
interesting.  On the practical side, Audrey's suggestion to take  photos of homes that 
are going to ruin to the town and give them to  the code enforcers directly 
was great.  Of course, then I thought  "I really like that family, they are 
so warm and friendly" and  wondered what would happen to them if they were 
found to be in  violation of something (or their landlord) and had to move.  
But  then I think "That house is destroying our property  values".....

I was disappointed to not hear from our  Mayor.  I had assumed that he 
would have been the most  knowledgeable about the affect this has on our town's  
resources.

Nancy
