I listened to Whitman’s interview today. Although she might have said she would veto the Arizona bill, she’s also against giving illegal amnesty and she constantly repeat that illegal immigrants are just that illegal.

She is being quite the politician by not really taking a controversial stand. If they are illegal, they should be handled as being in this country illegally which is exactly what the Arizona bill she is against does. So what it the proposal from her? Grant amnesty so that the illegal immigrants are no longer illegal?[/quote]
Did you read the part where I said she’s completely against giving illegal amnesty?

[quote=desmond]What if Arizona said fine, we will just stop sending water to San Diego?

The Colorado River is a major source of supply for cities in San Diego County as well as the Imperial County towns of Calexico and El Centro. San Diego County cities also rely on water from the State Water Project, with groundwater comprising only a small portion of the county’s overall water sources.[/quote]

Does Arizona own the Colorado River?

[quote=sdduuuude]I’m OK with people, as individuals, bagging on this law, or arranging a boycott, but why is our government voting on Arizona laws that we can’t possibly control ?

We don’t pay our govt employees to manage Arizona’s government. The school board? Really? Did I miss the day where they were voted in as the new Supreme Court? Shouldn’t they be cutting budgets or something.[/quote]

Why do we pass resolutions condemning human rights abuses in China or in Cuba?

Local governments, schools and universities were boycotting and condemning South Africa during Apartheid. Did that have an effect and did it bring about change?

How about if Google condemns and boycotts Arizona?

I’ve always wondered this myself, particularly about China. Because it’s a farce/hypocracy for our government on one hand to criticize about human rights in China, and on the other hand go begging the government if we can borrow money from them via T-Bills if they blatantly don’t give a hoot about what the U.S. government says.
Either put up or shut up imho.

Nope, but reading about it in papers did.

If google is profitable and wants to spend their own shareholder’s money to do this, sure…But let’s not forget, government is not for profit.
