Thanks for the info, Rob. I'll pass it on. She visited over Thanksgiving for a few days, but that's about it. I suppose she can always come back if she doesn't like it long term... -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org

Them who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Well, I see only three more alternatives. 1. Convince the growers to sell their land and relocate to Chile or Brazil to be close to their cheap labor source. 2. Pay Americans a living wage to pick fruit. 3. Genetically engineer smarter chimpanzees to pick the fruit, but don't let labor organizers find out about the potential new union brothers...

As long as the crops grown in CA can also be grown overseas and imported more cheaply, Americans will buy the cheaper imported version and let California landowners, farmers, and laborers go to hell. It's the American way.

All of California was nice and conservative before the Mexican Depression started in 1972 and all the wetbacks started heading north. Compare these demographics, and also realize that Fresno has an Armenian problem and a Hmong problem... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis,_California#Demographics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresno,_California#Demographics |
