Evolution

Fish out of water could bridge fossil gap between sea and land creatures
Updated 4/5/2006 8:28 PM

..."Just over 380 million years ago, it seems, our remote ancestors were large, flattish, predatory fishes, with crocodile-like heads and strong limb-like pectoral fins that enabled them to haul themselves out of the water," say paleontologists Per Erik Ahlberg, also of Uppsala University, and Jennifer Clack of the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge, in a commentary accompanying the journal report....

380 million years worth of life forms evolving.

Wow.

Think it will survive these guys?

I can't wrap my head around the system

November, by the Numbers

Tracking poll numbers is one way to determine if we'll win back the Congress in November. Tracking money is another .


I understand that spending money is one of the realities of American politics. A lot of people's only involvement in politics is voting. Their reception of political messages happens in front of the television, or driving by yard signs for specific candidates in their neighborhood. Occasionally they read an op ed, or immediately before an election they search for information on a particular candidate or a particular issue.

Question:

Why the fuck are they so stupid, lazy, and passive?

Exhaustion from working two or three jobs to achieve the "American Dream?"

Indifference? Ignorance?

Hopelessness, because they feel like their damn vote dosen't count anyway?

(Preview: So Diebold is running around the country making visits to its voting machines.)

Life too pleasant to bother with it?

I- just- can't- wrap -my- head- around- it.

Of course, I don't know what I expect with our media sources.

Gracias Señor Sirota

For being brave and intelligent and well-informed enough to tackle
The Taboo Subject at the Core of the Immigration Debate

I loved that he mentioned the movie "Traffic" as a way to understand some of the problems, but I might add that the problems with water will increase the flood of illegals across the border.


from Mexico City (which has it's own problems with water)

Illegal immigration part 3




I am not backing down on the problems of illegal immigration. The problems have touched my life. Think about this: You were born here, but you live in constant fear that your parents, who work their asses off for shit pay could be deported because they are here illegally. Does that give you respect for laws in your country of birth? Think like a teenager. Does that give you more power to do whatever you want? Your parents can't say anything because you have an inordinate amount of power over them. They need you because you understand English better than them, and you're legal. Besides, they want you to have all the toys, and education, and rights that they know that the handful of people who run the countries they fled from will never let them have for you. No matter how hard they work. They're used to keeping their heads down, working hard, and staying out of trouble so they don't get kicked out. You don't respect the laws of your country of birth because they don't make sense. You don't respect your parents because they get treated like doormats. Where does that leave you? Angry. Who do you take it out on? Gueros. Whites. Norteamericanos. They control the economies of the countries your parents fled from also, only most of the Norteamericanos don't know it:

And one more thing for those of you who immediately snarl racist. The problems just may be increasing because the worldwide population is increasing. That means more competition for resources.

You don't live with it, you don't know. Yo se.
