Maybe I did NOT clarify myself well enough, but I was referring to those in SA.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Minuteman have it right in a general way. In the way that those of us who are NOT happy with the US and where it is going and the monster she is turning into due to those in control and squeezing tighter every day need to WAKE up and follow their example... again, in a general way.

The best/better example to follow would be the people in South America...THEY ARE TAKING BACK THEIR COUNTRY, THEIR RESOURCES and THEIR LIVES!

Until we are willing to do the same, nothing in the US will change... period. End of story. No politician or president will do what is needed. We've gone too far to the right..extremism/fascism and close to other unwanted endings. Why? This country was founded by and for the people and the PEOPLE have to make the necessary changes.

The Minutemen are to be lauded because they are standing up for what they believe in. Do I support them? No. Do I agree with their cause? No. We can dis them all day and put them down till the cows come home, but at least they have gotten off their asses and standing up and doing something about what bugs the hell out of them instead of just talking about it in forums or on the front porch while sharing a beer with Joe Blow.

Not everything that people do is entirely wrong. Sometimes people want to do the right thing, but do it in the wrong way.

I'm not into dissing people, talking ugly about others or putting other people down. We are all one of the same cloth and we need to find the good in people/others and learn how to work for the benefit of all around the differences instead of dividing.. constantly dividing and not seeing ourselves in the ugly actions of other people in this world.

EDIT:
We always need to remember there IS enough to go around. Get out of fear or not having enough or not enough to go around. Work with where we are and remember there IS enough to go around for everyone. Withholding from others out of fear of not having enough is never good. Start finding out what the problems are and try addressing those in their country. Talk with Mexico, work with Mexico to see how the people of the US can help them. Reminds me of the Cubans going to poor countries to train if they school in Cuba before they can go into practice. THERE ARE WAYS to find common links and bonds and goals, but first we have to get past our own selves and our own fears and quit pitting them against us.
