We had one here in NC last year who was much more fortunate...he didn't
suffer! If you get my drift.  "Dave Fouchey" wrote in message ...

He kicked a stuck branch. Potentially dangerous. Stupid. So are you saying you've never done something that others would say was potentially dangerous and/or stupid? Also, if you look at the poor man's name (Rigoberto Martinez, 20, of Long Branch NJ), you may wonder if the fellow was an immigrant from Mexico. Maybe he wasn't trained properly on how to safely use the equipment? Shelly |

"Shelly" expounded:
DARWIN AWARD? How so? He kicked a stuck branch. Potentially dangerous. Stupid. So are you saying you've never done something that others would say was potentially dangerous and/or stupid? What you've described above is exactly the criteria for the Darwin Aware. Also, if you look at the poor man's name (Rigoberto Martinez, 20, of Long Branch NJ), you may wonder if the fellow was an immigrant from Mexico. Maybe he wasn't trained properly on how to safely use the equipment? It doesn't take a rocket scientist, in any language, to know you don't stick your foot in a running branch chipper. Of any size. -- Ann, Gardening in zone 6a Just south of Boston, MA ******************************** |

But most people draw the line when it comes to wood chippers, especially after seeing for the first time what it can do to a 6" tree limb. Those who don't, however... get the Darwin Award.

I'm 99 & 44/100ths% sure he was not only from Mexico or some other 3rd world spanish country, but equally sure, considering his employment within a heavily cash-only industry (Like landscapers, car-washes, and Taco stands) that he was an undocumented illegal alien. As such, I have about as much sympathy for him as I do the robber or rapist who dies while falling from a cliff while running away from the police. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

As such, I have about as much sympathy for him as I do the robber or rapist who dies while falling from a cliff while running away from the police. Wow, it really takes a special kind of racist to compare a migrant worker to a fugitive rapist. Oh, wait, let me guess...he probably wasn't paying taxes right? That son of a bitch! Where does he get off thinking he can come to this country and drink our tap water and use our garbage pick-up for free! Death to him! If only they had deducted taxes from his $3.25/hour salary, then his death would surely have been a tragedy, rather than poetic justice. But I don't blame you for your ignorant and malicious remarks. You are, afterall, only a brainwashed product of the society you live in. Make sure you aim the car the next time you see another Mexican 'rapist' riding his bike home from his 15 hour work day. If you find yourself hesistating, just think of all the tax revenue he's screwing us Americans out of. |

Wow, it really takes a special kind of racist to compare a migrant worker to a fugitive rapist. How do you equate racist with anti-illegal immigrant? Oh let ME guess, anyone who thinks there's just too damn many illegals in this country is a racist. Tell you what, I'm just as opposed to illegal Greeks, Irish, English, German, Scottish, French, etc.etc.etc. Oh, wait, let me guess...he probably wasn't paying taxes right? Probably not. But that pales in comparison to crossing a border illegally, not to mention the devastating economic impact this has on naturalized American citizens from all socioeconomic stratas. (Other than the wealthiest 1%, of course) That son of a bitch! Where does he get off thinking he can come to this country and drink our tap water and use our garbage pick-up for free! Death to him! If only they had deducted taxes from his $3.25/hour salary, then his death would surely have been a tragedy, rather than poetic justice. If he were a citizen, he would never accept anything less than a living wage (after taxes are deducted) in the first place. The fact that he's undocumented and illegal is why he accepts paltry, unthinkable wages. If he were legal, he wouldn't accept living in a rented house or apartment where far too many people live, and pay through the nose for. This is how slums are created. If he, and none of the other illegals were here, then employers would have to compete for employees instead of having a never-ending flood of practically free labor, which would cause wages to rise, and natural-born and legalized citizens could finally do all those things "Americans don't want to do" for a living. But I don't blame you for your ignorant and malicious remarks. There was nothing ignorant in my remark, the only ignorance is in your perception of what I said. You are, afterall, only a brainwashed product of the society you live in. Aren't we all? Brainwashed would be a good way to describe someone who is anti-illegal immigration with racist. Make sure you aim the car the next time you see another Mexican 'rapist' riding his bike home from his 15 hour work day. If you find yourself hesistating, just think of all the tax revenue he's screwing us Americans out of. Did you know that in most of Europe and Australia, and many other 1st world developed nations, you can live off the wages of a bussboy? You can raise a family off the wages of a gardener. A retail store clerk, full time, makes as much as most tradesmen. So do salespeople. In most of these countries, you get 5 weeks paid vacation per year. How is this possible? It's easy when your countriy's first priority is a decent standard of living for all it's citizens FIRST. The USA can not be, and should not be the end-all solution for all the downtrodden peoples of the world. We don't NEED anymore "unskilled" labor, we don't have enough work for our own. We already built our highways, railroads, and now do most manual labor by machine. We just passed through the best economic times in 100 years, and very few Americans have a thing to show for it. It's easy to supress the masses when you can let in a few more hundred thousand indentured servants at the first sign the middle class seems to be "getting too greedy." www.numbersusa.org .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Thanks for cut and pasting the whole white supremacist handbook for me, even if it had nothing to do with what I originally said about your comments. You attempted to find a parrallel between an immigrant worker who tragically died in a freak accident and a rapist who falls off a cliff while running from the police. I never once argued the virtues of letting illegal immigrants into the U.S., so I'm afraid you wasted all that time writing out your elitist propoganda for nothing. I know all I need to know about you from your post. Sometimes I'm ashamed to call myself an American because of people like you. |

You were equally off-target then as well. At least you're consistent. You attempted to find a parrallel between an immigrant worker who tragically died in a freak accident and a rapist who falls off a cliff while running from the police. I pointed out that I have as much sympathy for both. I never once argued the virtues of letting illegal immigrants into the U.S., so I'm afraid you wasted all that time writing out your elitist propoganda for nothing. Yea, the street gangs, MS13, the Latin Kings, that's all propoganda... I know all I need to know about you from your post. Sometimes I'm ashamed to call myself an American because of people like you. What shames you, the fact that I can and do have a different opinion than you in regard to illegal immigrants, or that I'm not afraid to excersize my constitutional right to voice it?

Seems you are forgetting our own national history.
Blessed are the poor Luke 6:20 "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus (what it says at the base of the Statue of Liberty , Mother of Exiles, Liberty Enlightening the World) Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Read that again -- "Give me - give us - your poor. Your exiles, homeless - we welcome them. We're asking for them. Give us your wretched refuse. Please." Funny, but you don't hear people talk like that much any more http://members.tripod.com/doggo/doggpoverty.html Dave Fouchey, WA4EMR http://photos.yahoo.com/davefouchey Southeastern Lower Michigan 42° 35' 20'' N, 82° 58' 37'' W GMT Offset: -5 Time Zone: Eastern |
