Colorado out-ranked California, Washington and Oregon in livabilty...and economic growth...they were at least in the dark ink on things. But look again, whose been made to support the illegals also...mostly California, Washington and Oregon. Colorado is primarily an "Government and military" state in it's industries. While we other three are agricultural based more so. I see they are rioting this morning and destroying everything they can get their hands on over higher food prices and unemployment in Algeria. It's an global problem now..the have vs the have nots. Many Governments are in the catagory of the have's... ripping off the have nots(via fee's and taxes)...to sustain thier own pleasurable life styles. Make them give up thier BMW's and drive Hyandui's people...LOL! (They get 40 MPG also). |

Why wasn't the money used for the steel industry or keeping down the price of the petrol or topping up the medical services/education/old age pensions, etc. They are just plain crazy!!! |

I for one dont beleive the UK economy is as bad as it is being painted (not yet anyway). Its all a ploy to get the governments 'ideals' in place. |

Brother can I borrow an dime or two?...as they say. |

She's being looked into from being arrested also...both on charges of "Scam Fraud".....then there's the 3 page spread this mornring about Child prostitution in Portland....and sex trafficking down I-5 Freeway corridor from Seattle to California...also one of their prime "drug trafficking" areas also...though remote eastern Oregon see's it also...by way of illegals coming up from Mexico. It seems Portland joined an FBI task force in 2009 on this...and they related 3 young girls picked up in Seattle and 2 from Portland involved...which was picked up on "nightline" an TV news documentary every week..and given news media coverage by Diane Sawyer and Dan Ruther....and our Mayor is upset..he says the city police don't keep statistics on it amoung the children...and only thing they do keep is on reports given to them by way of the Human Resource Center in an complaint...most often of child abuse. He says the problem isn't any worse then any other major city area most likley...and he doesn't like Portland "singled out" with its status as being one of the most livable Cities in the USA more or less. Could you call"prostitution" an kind of donation for people that need money that can't get it any other way decently...maybe? It is sad that they are anywhere age 9 into teens...but these kids most the time don't live in houses where their parents can support them for various reasons. Men are not stellar these days on having morals any more...in fact many men force their wives into such acts also. As long as employers treat women "second class" with low wages and these women are made to support themselves...your going to find the possiblty of this going on..and it has since time began. |

In London last week £1-56.9 a LITRE! If that isn't a Rip Off with tax being somewhere in the region of 70p per LITRE then I don't know what is! It's a disgrace, but we silly 'Brits' take it on the chin every time, WHY? Hope you are reading this David Cameron because the worm will turn! Do something about it before it's too late!! |
