Let's stop kidding ourselves that Greek debt is the Euro's key problem. With Greece gone, who's next ?

In the days when hyenas of hate suckle the babes of men, and jackals of hypocrisy pimp their mothers_ broken hearts, may children not look to demons of ignorance for hope.

I do not belong to any political party because I am not a party to the wrongs they eventually do.

It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as [inherently] exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord__ blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

What did __ood government_ really mean? Langlie and his brotherhood promised an end to political corruption. (There__ no evidence that Langlie ever even took a drink, much less a bribe.) The days of __onest graft_ were over, at least for a while. But seen from another perspective__hat of ordinary citizens without access to Langlie and Abram__ elite network__anglie didn__ so much end corruption as legalize it. Langlie wasn__ opposed to a government organized around the interests of the greedy; he just didn__ want to have to break the law to serve them.

A less well known impact of immigrant populations is the increase that destination states gain in Congress where apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives is calculated on the basis of a state's entire adult population regardless of legal status. And, because each state's electoral college vote is the sum of the number of its representatives in the House and its two senators, high immigration states play a larger role in presidential elections than they might if only adult citizens and legal aliens were counted in population surveys.
