... they are not any of my peers of my community, they are peers of another foreign country with no voting rights.. "

that's just bigoted. We are all earthlings and breathe the same air and drink the same water....it's time to quit pissing on each other and rise up until everyone is fed, clothed, sheltered, educated, and their health is cared for....EVERYONE!

Were YOU living in mexico or quatamala or lebanon and could find a way HERE, to the home of the free and the land of the brave...whatever it took....you'd do it, and so would i. I still believe in the "send me your huddled masses yearning to be free..." and welcome the illegals...the freedom loving masses yearning.... and I hope they find a way to "make it" here despite our gross and aggressive bigotry and dislikes and fears....I know that because they're being here we're all stronger, and the sooner we can find the grace to STAND together as humans, the better our lots in life will be.

open your heart and dance away from the fears....
FREE THE PLANT!
love,
