This is not good governing and lawmaking; this is pandering to fear and not knowing what else to do and using this fear as a place to hang one's hat while figuring it out or not. <br />Think about all the people that will not go to Arizona to play and visit right now.jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708572244678028544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29127973.post-3505669842254342432010-05-14T16:12:29.716-04:002010-05-14T16:12:29.716-04:00Start with the convention business the state has a...Start with the convention business the state has already lost.Jim Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078184665418828961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29127973.post-86218078853735975472010-05-14T16:09:16.001-04:002010-05-14T16:09:16.001-04:00I'm confused.

So to gain power the GOPis willing to tear down the framework and let it rot. It is worrisome that there is news coming from both Texas and Arizona that along with their psoturing with the law for "papers please" etc., there is a leaning towards educational screening in the books in a vein of almost reqriting history or de-emphasizing. Where do we go next. A 3rd world housemate studying here in the states noted it reminds him of a police state and did I think that this type of posturing was really the will of the people as a whole in these states. He definitely does not want to visit there with this reputation.jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708572244678028544noreply@blogger.com
