The Manana Solution

iT'S FUNNY...If I didn't know better, I might think it's even a case of role reversal.

What I am referring to is the implications of the new Immigration Bill.

For most Americans, there seems to be a South of the Border attitude that suggests "we'll deal it with it manana..." while conversely our Hispanic friends south of the border want a resolution to the problems of immigration now. Even though they are illegals, they may have a point. If there is a problem, let's address it, make whatever changes are necessary and move on. But it can never be so easy when there are so many diverse issues represented.

But is this the way it should be in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?


Like Bill Maher says, "I am pissed off because not more Americans are pissed off."

And I think that may say it best.

Most Americans seem to be in suspended animation as if they are on a space ship headed into deep space.

The enemy, instead of being HAL trying to con us with his lulling voice is actually the government trying to tell us why this hodge podge of legislation that attemps to please everyone is pleasing no one.

In attempting to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, they have only managed to put together something that looks worse than a sow's ear.

What's the answer when nobody is happy?

You start over!

But our candidates are feeling the pressure of summer recess.

Maybe our representatives, with all that they are being paid, should take fewer holidays than a highschool teenager. Maybe that's the way they could make up for their poor showing this year.

But, frankly, taking the holidays away from a group that seems to be generally on holiday all of the time would be maybe as bad as sending innocent citizens to a Cuba internment camp for questioning.

It would not go over well.

So meanwhile while we say "manana;" they beat the drum for change that seems to be slow in coming.

What else is new?
