Right now my opinions are more voiced about how I am feeling about myself. (as you can read in my above post)

If you have read my other posts then you know that I am always sure where I stand and I stand strong on my opinions. Sometimes personal stuff just tends to get in the way.

The illegal question is one that really inflames me most of the time. I can not tell you how many rants my poor husband has had to listen to. From my point of view this is a very racist issue and it makes me sick more people are not speaking up.

IF this were blacks being paid less than they would all be speaking up and raising hell. If it were women being put in such a position, they would demand equality. If it were white men then the national guard would be called in and those in charge would be hung in the gallows.

I have heard stories of illegals living in poverty. They have houses here and they fit more people than should be in one house. They work many jobs just to send money back to their loved ones. They do what they can to get by. I suppose it is not just a racial issue but also an equal rights issue.

I know I have a pie in the sky sort of view but if even one person is hungry then we should not stop working until they are fed. If a single person goes without health care then we should not sleep until they are taken care of. If but one person is treated with inequality then it is required we stick up for them. I know I would be grateful if others did the same for me.

These, and many other issues, seem to consume what little sleep I am able to get these days.
