Little Mr Mahatma

Mayday! It's May Day
Insted of galavanting around the city in this my final week before starting work, I've decided to hole up in my computer room. Many businesses will be closed today in support of immgrants. Personally, I can make cases for both sides. On the "Give 'em a break side" we have the "Spirit of America" - giving people the opportunity to better themselves whether or not they aer here legally. With that comes the business perspective: many businesses benefit from these low-paid workers and while you can call it exploitation, others call it opportunity. The workers, despite the low pay, still do better than at home.

Counter to that is, let's call it, the "Letter of America". These people are here illagelly which puts a drain on our resources and the resources are paid for by legal citizens. The businesses which use them are, in effect, abusing the system.

Both sides are right, both sides are wrong. Though one side is a tad more morally correct it lacks in legality. The other side has the law but not the moral flavor.

However it gets resolved two things are assured of happening: gas prices will continue to rise and we will stay in Iraq.

Smoke and mirrors my friends.
