If you've been needing an excuse to buy some model railroadingmerchandise (or anything for that matter), consider Monday, May 1st asthe day to do it.Don't know how common a story this is across the States but the southwest is expected to see another protest by illegal aliens and theirsupporters that day. Their plan is to stay home from work, school, anddo no financial business that day in an attempt to hurt the economy andsend a hostile message to Americans to give in to their demands.Just as Mexican radio stations are a rally point for these protests,conservative radio talk shows (mostly local) have been a good source forcounterprotest organizing: wide scale plans for Americans are to makebig purchases that day, fly the U.S. flag (home and auto), and buynothing made in Mexico. Some are also keeping track of what businesseswillingly close that day to let their workers join the protest. Thesewill be listed on websites and permanently boycotted.It's going to be an interesting day. Think I'll start early and go putmy new flag up today. :)~Brad H.

Many of them sleep in ditches, and certainly can't afford rooming houses.

Shrub and the NeoCons have been doing a good job of dragging us down the road to third world status, with a small wealthy "elite", if that word means biggest pigs, a shrinking middle class, and a growing underclass.

Oh - I forgot: we're not supposed to mention class, that's class warfare, or at least, that's what those who've been waging and winning it say to the rest of us.
