some lights seem eternal

It�s amazing how applying for that second job makes you feel like you accomplished something without the hassle of actually working at it. I�m making an effort without actually doing anything. The people at the place I applied today (Mc Donald�s) were really nice.

Then I went to Sam�s Club, which I have mentioned before is retail pornography for men. (reference). There are things I buy there because it�s better to get them in bulk or I eat the product like the pig I am. I like that a bag of six heads of romaine lettuce is three dollars at Sam�s and three heads of romaine lettuce are six dollars at Super Stop and Shop. Who decides these clowns are super? No one asked me.

After school we sit and gossip in the office, we call this a faculty meeting. When I mentioned that I wanted to get a jump on looking for a job and mentioned where I was applying and then grocery shopping someone said, �You can�t work there, you don�t speak Spanish!� I was disappointed because I need a second job and not being at to work at Mc Donald�s because I can�t speak a second language would suck.

I mentioned that and they said, �Oh no, you�d just have to work with all those Puerto Ricans if you worked there but you shop at Sam�s with them so it�s not a big deal for you.

I�m pretty disappointed with some of the people I work with. They�re pretty down on Hispanics and I�m disgusted at why. The argument lies along this line they come to this country and take our social services and don�t learn our official language.

I didn�t know we had an official language and I�m pretty sure that immigrants aren�t allowed to get many of the social services that our government offers. I certainly don�t begrudge people coming to the f�ing Land of Opportunity and getting a chance. When I look at everything I have, and I don�t have a lot, I�m amazed that people don�t want to share what we have in this country with someone trying to make a better life for them selves.

If I had been talking to a Native/Aboriginal American I would have kept my peace. European Americans have a hell of a lot of nerve. Everyone in America is a descendant of someone who came here to make a better life for them, came here to that themselves or is a descendant of someone brought here by force. No one is indigenous but everyone is blessed to be in America. Being American isn�t easy and it isn�t always fun but it is easier than being anything else and it�s more fun than being anything else.

To be racist myself, all the scientific anthropological evidence points to Hispanics as being incredibly hard working, values oriented and religious people. Those are the people I want as neighbors but that�s just me and as golfwidow has pointed out, my crazy opinion doesn�t count. That�s a good thing too; I�m a bigoted republican who eats babies.

The only beef I have with Puerto Rico is this: they call themselves a continent. You can�t just call yourself a continent. There have to be rules, there needs to be order! The next think you know the Iberian Peninsula is going to be calling itself an island and Canada will tell you that it is the moon. The world is just devolving into chaos.

Most people don�t even know where the hell Puerto Rico is.
