Yes, <EM>there's</EM> something for his headstone. <BR/><BR/>I think my main issue with this asshat is what Vince implied - he's disrespectful of those who don't see the world through his eyes. The idea that these "illiterate peasants" might be agreeing to come here and do this work so they can improve their family's lives appears to be totally lost on him. Clearly they're only here to annoy <EM>him.</EM><BR/><BR/>Nice display of compassion, Representative Asshat.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-19690167919306485982008-04-22T16:14:00.000-06:002008-04-22T16:14:00.000-06:00And as an aside, does anyone else now think it's a...<I>And as an aside, does anyone else now think it's a mighty big coincidence that the reporter he kicked had an Hispanic name? Anyone? Just askin'...</I><BR/><BR/>Coincidence? Yeah, right, sure. You bet. Absolutely. How could you even think that asshat... uh, I mean Representative Bruce would kick a reporter just because he was Hispanic? No, he would kick a reporter just because he could.<BR/><BR/>That a person is illiterate doesn't mean they are lazy or stupid, which is what Bruce is trying to imply. People struggling to just survive usually don't have the opportunity for schooling that most people in the US have.<BR/><BR/>A peasant is usually defined as any member of a class that tills the soil as small landowners or agricultural labourers. The peasant economy generally has a simple technology and a division of labour by age and sex. The basic unit of production is the family or household. Peasant families traditionally consume what they produce, though a portion of their output may be sold in the market or paid to a landlord.<BR/><BR/>Although peasants have been characterized as backward and resistant to change, peasant strategies can be highly rational in a society where there is little margin for error. Which pretty well describes the circumstances of most of the Mexicans who enter this country illegally. <BR/><BR/>Look, I think there is a problem with illegal immigrants in this country. But solving the problem can only be done by recognizing that these are people desperate to make sure they and their families survive.<BR/><BR/>It also can't be done without recognizing that many businesses in this country are happy to have these people as they can pay and treat them poorly by holding the threat of turning them in over their head.<BR/><BR/>And the problem will not be solved by name-calling jerkfaces like Bruce.vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955307244053931069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-72502510585452462112008-04-22T15:56:00.000-06:002008-04-22T15:56:00.000-06:00At least he's consistent.At least he's consistent.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.com
