    Legal Showdown - Arizona's Immigration Law

    Please tell them to get busy. We've been waiting for quite some time. So far very poor results. numbers speak for themselves. Sorry I don't agree. Federal government is broke! 127 trillion in debt last I heard. over 100K for every family in the country. No way it will ever get paid back.

    Legal Showdown - Arizona's Immigration Law

    O yes we can and do but just don't have enough resources to send them back and so darn many I's to dot and T's to cross that they are coming in faster than we can send them back and besides it costs a lot of money to process and transport. Be nice if some of you folks would send us some money to...

    Legal Showdown - Arizona's Immigration Law

    That is why Arizona just passed this law. Just a state version of the government version that they are not enforcing so we have to find a way to do it ourselves. You know the saying, if you want something done do it yourself.

    Legal Showdown - Arizona's Immigration Law

    Anyone able to enjoy music with their cochlear implant?

    I have the Cochlear had a tune up Tuesday, next one is three months away. Love music and enjoy very much but have to say it does sound different but I guess I've adjusted? I use ha on left side and CI on right. In a controlled environment I went from about 28% comprehension before CI to 98%...

    Coffee Party turns bitter...

    Reba; That is exactly what this new law in Arizona is trying to do. "make the price higher than they are willing to pay" and they wont come in. Several have already left due to this new law. I agree thoroughly, keep them out and let them enter through regular legal channels but obviously more...

    Coffee Party turns bitter...

    Probably the wrong place to post this but I think interesting and worth reading. Maybe someone can move it where it belongs? Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer Are not allowed in most public schools anymore and Because the word 'God' is mentioned... A Kid in Arizona...

    Can Hard of hearing people get a CI?

    On my last audi test, she said that new hearing aid would not do me any good. Recommended me for a CI and I said "what's that" :) I now have one and been on for about 6 weeks or a bit more and it is really making a difference for the good. No second thoughts in the least. You do loose any...

    Arizona governor signs immigration bill

    Jiro, I think maybe we need to clarify "civil rights" and personally I for one say "NO" I don't think they should have any rights in this country if entered illegally, they are criminals no matter how you coat it and should be treated the same as any other criminal. That does NOT imply that...

    A Gun Thread About Absolutely Nothing!

    Now that is fun but like everything else, getting expensive even when hand loading. In Alaska one can have a gun and in fact required to have one if you fly in private aircraft along with survival equipment. In Arizona you can have gun as long as visible but law just signed in that will allow...

    A Motorcycle Thread About Absolutely Nothing!

    As bikers we are invisible and have to ride that way. I don't worry about others not seeing me as I keep a sharp eye out and see them. Don't put myself in position to get hit. Been lucky for many years now riding that way. Generally put about 10K miles a year on my GW. Admit it is a larger bike...
