:donut: I had to crack up this weekend over the massive protest march in Dallas. You have to know how anally retentive those folks tend to be up there appreciate it. Let's just say if cities were political parties, Houston is DEM and Dallas is GOP (of the Neocon variety). In all honesty, I will confess that I spent my early life in Ft. Worth-a fact of which I am very proud and have never cared for Dallas (the bad blood runs deep).
Well, the marches have some of those folks pissing in their pants-I mean the hired help is actually speaking up and heavens, who'll do the lawns and nanny the kids if they don't show up to work on May 1.
In Houston, we are much more relaxed. When Homeland Security declared that the HPD should be rounding up immigrants for legal reasons, HPD all but thumbed their noses at them. The cops have a lot more important things to do than INS's job too. It took a long time for HPD to gain the trust of the immigrant community in reporting crimes. They do NOT ask about status. HISD schools do not ask about status of the kids either. All we want to know is your address to tell if you are zone to the school or not,PERIOD.
I just wish we could draw these numbers to our antiwar rallies.

Well, Happy hunting and watch out for the bears.
