Fed law on immigrants

From the United States federal website, welcome guide to the United States, on page eight: "As a permanent resident, it is your responsibility to obey all federal, state, and local laws," except in Arizona. "Pay federal, state, and local income taxes," except in Arizona. "Register with the Selective Service if you're a male between 18 and 26, see page 11 for instructions." All this is true except if you are illegal in Arizona. "You are a permanent resident required to maintain your immigration status," except in Arizona. "And you are required to carry proof of your permanent resident status at all times," except in Arizona, and by extension, every other state now, theoretically. If you can't preempt federal law anywhere else, then we in big doo-doo, heap big doo-doo.

"One who thinks that money can do everything is likely to do anything for money."

--- Chassidic saying

Gaza

“When leading news outlets mention the so-called humanitarian flotillas from Turkey, why do they omit the fact that life expectancy and literacy rates are higher, and infant mortality rates are lower in Gaza than corresponding rates in Turkey? Have they considered that perhaps the humanitarian flotillas ought to be going in the other direction, towards Turkey?”

M Friedman

Milton Friedman said, "No one washes a rented car."

Pauline Kael

Pauline Kael, the theater critic in New York after Nixon won in '72 said, "How did this happen? I don't know anybody who voted for Nixon."

Nat Cath Reporter

No single individual, indeed, no medium-sized office of people, would suffice to provide adequate replies to the mostly-junk theology routinely put out by the National Catholic Reporter.

Husbands

One woman told me, "After forty years of marriage, I can now predict exactly what my husband will think and do in every situation. But why he does it is still a mystery to me!"
