Another story the media Will Not cover
While taking some college classes, one of the students did a lecture on how the US government mandated that each state be required to provide information in a foreign lanuage based on the foreign population in the area. Meaning that if the region is so many % foreign every store, hospital and resturant must provide any service they provide in english in that foreign language. Forms, Menu's etc etc. Many folks are not aware of this and many states have not been able to keep up. I got furious in class and of course my mouth engaged before my brain and bluttered out how rediclous this was and was told it was only fair. Then my Brain engaged and I asked, why is it fair to provide such service to foreigners living here ( many of whom are here illegally . This also include schools, One of the women I work with who's daughter is in fourth grade talked about how one of her classmates gets all the text books in spanish ( At the TxPayers Expense) as she cannot read english. ( Gee Wouldn't now be a good time to learn)
Yet to the Veterans who have served and given so much to this country does our government do so little for. Example how many VA Medical centers are there in each state? I know many Vets that have to travel 4-6 hours one way to receive their so called benefits for giving to their country. If we can do this to our Vets, Then why don't we just create One hosipital in each state to accommidate what ever the predominate foreign culture is and let them travel there if they don't want to learn to read an write in english.
My entire family came here from Germany in the mid 60's. My Mother never made it past the 5th grade due to WWII, and yet they had to learn the launguage and to read and write and everything else that came with being a US Citizen. I feel extremely lucky to have been born and raised in this great country and have served in the military for the past 18 years, but as we continue to treat everyone with kid gloves and the politicians continue to destory what we have spent so long and given so many lives to defend I am truly scared for my son and the future of our country.
Maybe, just maybe, if we could get the American Public to stop voting based on Party and stop saying Well everyone else is going to vote either Republican or Democrate, So I will just vote for the one I like better and start voting based on the canidate and the issues at hand.
I can hardly watch the news and the debates anymore. They don't discuss the issue's or what is best for our country, They just bash the other guy.
OK I will get off my High Horse and SHut-up Now.
Thank you for listen

You think NY Laws are Bad, Stop in NJ. When I was stationed in Mass I did Law enforcement on the seas. Mostly Boarding vessels in search of illegal substances.. I was young and looked even younger ( like I was 14, I was Told ) as I boarded a vessel with a 45 on my hip. I was qual'ed to carry a 45 / M-16 and a Shotgun for law enforcement purposes. When I went home to NJ to visit family and freinds I stopped at K-mart to purchase some BB's. I was denied as I did not have a Firearms ID Card. Later I went to the Local Police office to apply. Weeks later after a complete background investigation and finger printing I was give an ID, But only for Rifle and of Course BB's. I had no intention of going through the hoops to try and get a pistol permit in a state I didn't spend much time in anymore.
Someday ( I can only hope )the public and politicains will come to the reality that guns do not hurt or kill people. People do. Hold those acocuntable for their actions and leave us with common sense alone.

Speaking of Loony's driving cars. How many people are killed every day by a car? Shouldn't we be outlawing the right to drive as it kills more people everyday then guns?
Oh wait they are starting look at outlawing SUV's aren't they?

Please note that this thread is on the Just for fun/Off Topic section of this great site. I joined as a premium member becuase of all the good information available and all the great and knowledgable people here. But to be honest with you if this site were limited to strict guidelines of the only discussion permitted was tractor purchase and repair, I would have not probably joined as a premium member.
There are many other discussions here regarding landscaping and vehicles and so forth that are extremely helpful and when a thread like this one begins it is good to see that there are so many out there that have their opinions and are not scared to share them. ( Not to mention that I for one agree with
If someone new comes here and reads all this, it is their choice, no one is forcing them too. If they want just tractor specifics then they have that option as well.
Just my .02 I truly enjoy talking with and learning so much about not only tractors, but other folks here, their interests and views.
