Me too, Bernita. Speaking of critters, I killed my first ant yesterday. This was a big step, but living in the desert has changed me. I still feel guilty, though.

I’d find it pretty hard too, to not feed anything/one hungry – except crittersuch as mosquitoes and their ilk.

Isn’t that sad, Edie? Terribly sad!

Charles, I think you’re right. On all counts.

Isn’t that weird, Melanie? Just weird.

I agree. Laws are less and less important, the closer you get to life and death decisions, LOL. Even just well-being decisions. I would rather we go back fifty years or so when it comes immigration laws.

Katie, Glenn laughed at that, too. Technically, it’s set up the correct way for a joke, with a surprising end.

That sounds like an even-handed, reasonable approach, Katie! Probably I would have to do the same.

Written, I can understand all that. (Although my limited research says they can’t and don’t use social programs.)

I just don’t understand why we’ve become so drastically difficult about it in the last ten years, and even the last twenty or so.

I hear you, Merry. I’ve known a few in Little Italy when I lived there, and my step-grandparents were immigrants. It was a WHOLE LOT easier to get into the US, then.

I researched a bunch, yesterday, and I’d say most all our immigration laws have come about from prejudice or fear. It’s hard to be accepting of a system based on that.

HAH! I love that! “The law and I would have to square up later.” LOL!

I would hate that, too.

I see what you’re saying, Bets. It’s become so difficult, though. There were many ways for people to come to this country, but a lot less so in the last ten years. A lot less so in the last twenty years. Before that, I’d agree with you!
