Lighter side of issues

Everybody wants to be governor! Even high school drop-outs aspire for power of an office to which we will see ripe and green coconuts dumped into an empty rice sack for public husking and grating. Critical scrutiny is in order!

It’s an admirable quality working up the nerves to join the cramped room of GOP parade of prospects vying to secure official standard bearer for the gubernatorial race in 2001. But I am not sure that the Puerto Rico Dump qualities that some of the candidates have are as admirable though. It’s a no brainer. A` Saina!

Oregon State immigration officers have driven away businesses from Japan by too strict an interpretation of the law on technical people brought to work in both Oregon and Washington states.

Said INS port director John O’Brien: “The Immigration Service is trying to protect American jobs for American citizens”. Darn good point but please tell that to California Congressman George Miller and Senator Daniel Akaka whose measure isn’t about protecting American jobs but more like killing Juan so that George can live.

Both shamefully call it “American Values”. No, gentlemen, it’s labor unions’ warped values that turn human rights cause on its head, yeah?

No where to be found on the totem pole, the NMI becomes the perennial whipping boy of liberal social democrats. Imagine the distinction we hold so dearly as the only group of US Citizens who are not represented in the US Congress. I’ll defend to the death the preservation of such privileged distinction provided that the Kanaka Boy in the US Senate returns sovereignty to Chamolinians in these isles. After you’ve done that, sir, you can have your immigration and federally mandated wages. Gee, talk about the epitome of a hybrid coconut!

Despair not friends for our country may be a democracy, but it hasn’t been able to reconcile the dark chapters in US History in the way it has treated Native Americans, African Americans and other minorities.

But this historical setback will someday change some ten years from now when the demographics of US population shifts to a no real majority. Only then would there be an equal playing field for, read carefully now, ALL AMERICANS!

Perhaps by then we would collectively close the racial divide which has alienated the least politically connected today. I still find it troublesome though how can the likes of Miller talk about immigration in these isles when he’s the descendant of an immigrant himself. Such inconsistency is a tale of one grand hypocrite!

We ought to be put up a campaign of our own of the ruinous effects of a federal takeover not against the NMI, but against US mainland taxpayers who would have to fork out more of their hard earned income to defray the cost of running a bankrupt government here. That is the very essence of the economic annihilation of these isles in the proposal that recently cleared the US Senate. It has the equivalence of the Nuremberg case. Remember this episode in world history?

I am a US Citizen since 1986 and truly believe in the vast accomplishments of our country in the last century. Yes, we have our share of dark chapters in history as Americans because it involves human beings who commit errors. And it is because of the very nature of human beings (fallibility) that infractions are committed unintentionally.

It is up to each of us to reconcile and rectify these errors. In our case, we have come a long way since liberal social democrats started using human rights to inflict economic annihilation proposals against our fragile island economy. For some odd reason too, they have used the same set of standards of a hugely differing economic structure that exist in a technologically advanced nation like our country versus a helpless and fragile island economy. Let’s keep fighting for our economic and political freedoms. We are Americans too!
