And such is the case with those who come today. Our experience with
the past, which you have pointed out, should enlighten us to look at
the doughnut and not the hole. I do not hold all of the Italians
accountable for the actions of a Capone, nor do I hold every Mexican
national accountable for the violence of a handful of drug lords. I
know too many people of Mexican descent who are smart, hard-working,
solid citizens who love their families and contribute to their larger
communities...In other words, good Americans...to ever make that
mistake. I am proud to call a number of them my friends. Same with
Asians and blacks - it's the doughnut and not the hole that counts.

Believe me - there are cultural mores from other lands with which I
have a lot of trouble. For that matter, our American culture has quite
a bit of it. Characteristics of cruelty, injustice, and various forms
of dishonor accompany most cultures on this planet, and the only thing
anybody can do is push forward to encourage the best and forego the
worst. No matter what, the pressure against our borders will not
diminish, and it is obvious that trying to inculcate foreign peoples
with our own POVs has proven to not be very successful even in this
age of instant internet. Experience has shown that there is a far
greater chance of immigrants assimilating once they get here rather
than trying to do it from afar. What would be the most helpful is if
we could establish a policy whereby we encourage those who come here
legally and learn to be Americans to find ways to bring the positive
aspects of our society back to their native lands. That's a very tall
order, but eventually, if population continues to explode as it now
does, there will be no other choice.

Meanwhile, it would be very helpful to get our own house in order.

I agree, and would add that both the manufacturer and end user must be
willing to make and accept a product that is both reliable and
reparable. The easy abundance of "throw-away" goods from overseas has
made us not only wasteful but also too willing to accept inferior junk
that cannot be renewed.

It is often, however, the hole that defined the donut. Which was
my point.

Sadly, brother, also a tall order.

Look for an area, like my neck of Ozark woods, which still has family
farms rather than agribusiness. As the Founding Farmers understood, if
you can properly manage land, you can also evaluate policy. The schools
here still work.

Get out an Atlas, and look up the hill towns north of I-40 between I-540
and US 65. They are all small towns like Alma, Bee Branch, Clinton,
Deer, Eureka Springs, Flippin, Greer's Ferry, Heber Springs, Jasper....
then go to

http://normessasweb.uark.edu/schoolp...ool/School.php
and see ZERO rates of violence. Dropout rates in the single digits.
Graduation rates over 90%. (last year Jasper had 100%, and the year
before Deer did) Attendance at 95%, and this is with all the kids
tested. They dont take the kids with ADD, ADHD, Autism or whatever out
of the testing cause... they dont have any.

The population is 99% "white". but when you look closer, you find out it
is really most people are 1/3-1/2 Cherokee. The original Pioneers were
Scots and Irish, who knew a thing or two about how Christian aristocracy
dispossessed farmers. So, when the Cherokee came thru on the "trail of
tears" many were taken in, and this hybrid, is still here in the farming
and other business.

We'll see in a few days whether these people are stupid and uninformed
or not when I go to trail, trying to have a medical marijuana test case
on Friday. I've been passing out fliers (http://daybrown.org) showing
how they've been running the drugwar like a speedtrap, using it to bust
landowners for pot they didnt know was on their land.

This is a rural area without broadband, so I'll be out there again today
passing out fliers. One side shows how the corporate mass media makes
money selling pills for transnational pharma, so they will never report
on the medicinal use of marijuana cause that would dramatically cut into
profits. We havta get that word out online or with fliers.

There are some Communities (not listed in Rand McNally Road Atlas) in
your State which you have never heard of before.Good Solid Communities.
Next time you go to a Wal Mart store or some other Book stores, look for
a DeLore Gazeteer which pertains to your State.I have one.

Competent public schools and a "truth to power" tradition in the mass
media are essential to a healthy democracy. There are way too few
station owners. Way too few cable companies.

I don't advocate an actual test.

You're just a garden variety old fart.

Liberal democracy is a form of representative democracy where elected
representatives that hold the decision power are moderated by a
constitution that emphasizes protecting individual liberties and the
rights of minorities in society, such as freedom of speech and assembly,
freedom of religion, the right to private property and privacy, as well
as equality before the law and due process under the rule of law, and
many more.

Such constitutional rights, also named liberal rights, are guaranteed
through various controlled institutions and various statutory laws.
Additionally the constitution of most of the contemporary liberal
democracies protects the rights of individuals and minorities, and
prohibits the will of majority (majoritarianism), by almost eliminating
that rule in practice.

Some would argue that liberal democracy isn't democratic or liberal at
all. They would argue that "liberal democracy" does not respect majority
rule, except when citizens are asked to vote for their representatives,
and also that its "liberty" is restricted by the constitution or
precedent decided by previous generations. They would argue that, by
prohibiting citizens the right to cast votes on all issues—especially
for serious subjects like going to war, constitutional amendments or
constitution abolishment etc.—this turns "liberal democracy" into the
precursor of oligarchy.

Others would say that only a liberal democracy can guarantee the
individual liberties of its citizens and prevent the development into a
dictatorship. Unmoderated majority rule could—in this view—lead to an
oppression of minorities.

The concept of an open society is closely related to liberal
democracies. Since many liberals see democracies with strong statist
reflections through the public choice theory as slow, dogmatic,
conservative and not too apt for change, the liberal democracy contrasts
with what could be called the "statist" democracy in that it emphasizes
the civil society as the engine of its public discourse and development
further.

The design of the US Constitution prevents mob rule by SLOWING heated
populism. The current US Senate and the unrepresentation of the common
people in the House, actually STOP any progressive actions as opposed to
slowing them down. The TwoParty rule that has emerged over the last 100
years results in bipolar government of the worst kind. It is reactionary
and vile.

Those who assert that the United States was to be the bastion of a new
nobility with inherited privilege are enemies of the people.

I dont blame you; tests have been fudged. However, there's nothing to
prevent you from finding other honorable talented people to work with
and find real solutions. Rather than telling others how to live, show
them with the way you and your associates live.

Something under the radar, that I notice reading Cosmopolitan and
Glamour magazines, is that thirty-something white career women, no
longer hot and sexy, are giving up on ever meeting Mr. Wright, and going
to fertility clinics. They wont get the perfect marriage, but with the
support of their families and friends, do get the perfect baby.

Who will no doubt not grow up stupid and uninformed. But look at it more
closely and see it is EUGENICS. Only under the control of women, not
men. This has been going on long enuf now that some of these kids are
already in grad school, having received full scholarship every step of
the way.

The first generation of Uberwench. Next question: in the name of equal
opportunity, are fertility clinic services going to be funded for poor
women of all races? If so, it'll dramatically reduce the number of the
stupid and uninformed, and thereby stabilize the democracy.
