I can only be concerned about may 18-20 things at once. Mexico isn't one of them right now. Maybe next week, after the holiday, I'll have room to add it to my list of concerns. You, on the other hand, seem to have a limitless capacity to be concerned about thousands of issues simultaneously.

I would make a good president based on the fact my main concern isn't how nice my next car is going to be.

GOP would never allow this for fear of losing influence.

Or rather GOP would push for it, to cater to hispanic vote, then rue the decision.

Sort of like how the GOP tries to urge Puerto Rico to become a state.

GOP would be all over it, due to the cheap labor pool. Dems would cave into Labor opposition.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
