Sick fucking bastards. What, according to the thoroughly indoctrinated Babittry, is more "American" than trying to improve your material conditions, sacrificing to get to a "better place?" Like, maybe, working at WAL-MART for 12 years as your "starter job" which will mythically lead to untold riches in the Land Of The Free? Yeah, that happens. The Boss sees your initiative and hands you the keys to The Kingdom, the keys to your OWN SUCCESS - as long as you listen to him, and if you have served correctly. My ass. These are people coming across that river, perhaps unwittingly, but WILLINGLY entering into a country where all odds are against anyone who is not a venal, privileged asshole willing to drive home the capitalist vision (as seen if you care to look) of 2 people out of 10 working day and night to fuck the other 8 so they can have vacation homes and attend nice parties on the beach with the "right people." This system makes me sick and I want it to end. It's hard to take the absolute savagery day after day. I would pray for us, but I can't believe in that shit either.

Thanks for this report, Paul. It has a special meaning for me because my mother, at the time a 13 year old, crossed the border from Piedras Negras, Mexico to Eagle Pass. Though she had the protection of dual citizenship, she revoked her Mexican citizenship upon entry. I am unable to free myself from the rage at the current situation there and in the world.

Back to Paul-speak....I love it. As far as Avakian and the Revcoms goes. I find your style of rhetoric to my liking not so much Avakian's and Revcom's. But will research and listen more.

Peace
