AnotherVoice

Waxahachie, Texas, March 29, 2005 -- Believing what I was raised to hold sacred, that every voice counts, I've bombarded my local paper for years with letters and op-eds (and been active in politics). Yet here in the heart of everyone's favorite "red state," where it's especially important that another voice be heard, no one seemed to be listening. This is my megaphone.

Katrina remembered.

If our home front defenders hadn't been bogged down in Iraq along with vital equipment, AND if Bush were worth a dime, New Orleans might be up and running by now!

Damned shame.

We HAVE to win in November!

Bush's problem

He seems to believe that simply getting rid of a dictator and giving an assortment of people free rein will automatically cause Democracy. He obviously never read Lord of the Flies.

Exporting democracy

Doesn't work. We should go back to exporting blue jeans, sneakers, ping-pong and jazz!

Whither the farms

Apparently some U.S. border State growers are complaining that all this talk about enforcing laws against illegal immigration (and prosecuting those who hire undocumented workers) is making those same workers too nervous to come to work. Said growers, or at least some of them, are threatening to take their farms to Mexico — to outsource their operations — if this keeps up.

Well, bully! I say good for them and for us! Not only will the honorable growers who play by the rules make more money because there are lots of shoppers who choose produce grown in the U.S., but subdivision developers will have a field day, so to speak.

And when housing sprouts quicker'n cotton seed, and land is taxed as residential rather than agricultural, seems like it would benefit the rest of us!

And of course, there's a fringe benefit for the workers of Mexico, who will have jobs without the peril of crossing an unfriendly border.
