There are 12 million illegal Mexicans in the USA.   We know there are 12 million  because these immigrants  entered the USA illegally and we keep an accurate account of illegal entries.  Also, the Republican chicken factories keep an account of their employees ....

Human race being terminated by 'scientific suicide' - Real science is the quest for understanding, not the quest for profit

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 00:14.

Death by science

• Toxic pesticides that kill the soils and rivers? "Science!"

 

• Toxic chemical medications that kill humans and pollute downstream waters? "Scientific!"

WHAT IF NEIGHBORHOODS WERE DESIGNED FOR KIDS (NOT CARS)?

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 05/07/2012 - 18:11.

 

This afternoon it was sunny out and I was up working on the roof where I could see the kids next door  bouncing a basketball in their driveway.    I also could see and hear - on the next street over - other kids playing basketball in their quiet residential street.   Both sets of kids could have had a pick up game if they just could get to one another conveniently and safely - through the middle of the block.

When last we left Juanita Myrick, the meticulous bureaucrat and longtime veteran of the Cuyahoga County Department of Employment and Family Services had been indicted for stealing $864,000 in welfare checks from the agency. In a marathon scam that escaped the county’s notice for a whopping 13 years, Myrick would doctor the files of former welfare clients, switching their information on the computer so that she got the checks instead of them.
