Mexican President Felipe Calderon warned Mexico would reject any effort to “criminalize migration.”

Mexican President Felipe Calderon warned Mexico would reject any effort to "criminalize migration."  May 19, 2010

The hypocrisy of the Mexican President is evident if you consider the facts.  It is terrible that the President of a country like Mexico would be so dishonest as to play politics with the lives of Mexican citizens.

Mexico, annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does. In 2005 ALONE, Mexico deported approximately 250,000 "migrationists" from Central America.   Mexico has criminalized migration.

Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are in the country legally, have the means to sustain themselves economically, not destined to be burdens on society, of economic and social benefit to society, of good character and have no criminal records, and will contribute to the general well-being of the nation.

Mexico has a record for each foreign visitor, ensuring that visa status are not violated.  Visitors can not interfere with internal politics, visitors who come to Mexico under 'false pretenses' are deported or imprisoned and those who aid illegal immigrants are imprisoned.

President Calderon, please be honest.

Big Brother Gets bigger in Banking bill

Big Brother gets bigger in the new banking bill.  In particular:

The bill sets up two new supersnooping federal agencies to collect data on ordinary Americans:

•The Office of Financial Research. This supposedly would predict risk in the system by collecting massive amounts of new financial data, such as patterns of credit card use.

•The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It would collect data, especially on consumer transactions.

See this article for more details.

With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, — none of which I know how to work

"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Barack Obama, May 9, 2010.

"Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn't.  He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail." - Barack Obama, September 12, 2008 on John McCain suggesting he is out of touch.

a willing relinquishment of power is one of those things which human nature never was, nor ever will be, capable of.

Will the oppressor let go the oppressed? Was there ever an instance? Can the annals of mankind exhibit one single example where rulers overcharged with power willingly let go the oppressed, though solicited and requested most earnestly? ... Sometimes, the oppressed have got loose by one of those bloody struggles that desolate a country but a willing relinquishment of power is one of those things which human nature never was, nor ever will be, capable of.
Patrick Henry
in Jonathan Elliot, ed., 'The Debates of the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution', (New York, Burt Franklin: 1888 ), 3:51-52.

AT&T asked to comment on its Privacy Policy

We have asked AT&T to comment on its privacy policy.   Specifically we asked:

1. Why doesn't AT&T verify email addresses it sends emails to?
2. Why does AT&T not provide a link in the emails it sends out to allow "good samaritans" to report that AT&T is sending someone else's records to them?
3. Why don't AT&T customer service representatives take calls letting them know that they are sending information to the wrong addresses?
4. Why do AT&T representatives state that they do not care whether AT&T emails are republished?

Specifically, as recounted previously AT&T has sent us information for various AT&T customers and each time has been rude and unhelpful when we go to report them.

January 20, 2010: AT&T did not respond for comments on its privacy policy, but did ask for a copy of the most recent email regarding Mordecai Alpert's account.  On a humorous note, AT&T did BEGIN sending us account statements for Richard Schweitzer, without any means of reporting it, so, Mr Richard Schweitzer, you can get your account information on-line:
