Yes I am looking for you my friend let us talk once  more,please.
 

Throughout history, great empires have risen and fallen and fought each other over land, resources and people. It seems like a vicious cycle that these empires build themselves over several centuries only to fall later. The Romans, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Ottomans, the Mongols, the British, the French and now the Americans have all been known as great powers in the world. What is it that causes the disruptions that occur later to destroy great empires?

  First, I think it is contentment of the people with the status quo instead of seeking the best possible way to govern a people. "It worked for our ancestors, so it must be good for us too!" we say. Without progress and reform of the government, expansion of an empire can create many problems. The Roman Empire grew from a small city-state into controlling the entire Mediterranean region in a few hundred years. Likewise, the United States of America has grown from 13 small states along the Atlantic coast of North America into 50 states and several territories stretching from Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea to Guam in the western Pacific Ocean and from Alaska in the far north to Florida in the south, yet the same government designed for 13 states is still being used for all of them!

  Second, we may consider the frog in boiling water concept. If you toss a frog in water that is already boiling, it will immediatly jump out. But the same frog placed in cool water that is then sssssssllllllloooooooooowwwwwlllllyyyyyy heated will end up dead because it will not jump out, it's cold blooded body "adapting" to the heat until it gets too hot to live. Likewise, I would suggest that if George W. Bush was doing the kinds of things 50 years ago that he is doing today (like starting a war in Iraq under false pretenses, or trying to give away our wildlife refuges to exploitation by oil companies), he would have been IMPEACHED by now or at least he would not have been reelected by the people. Sadly, it seems that the Bush administration thinks we are all frogs, but we are PEOPLE and we know what corruption and hypocrisy is, so we must fight it! Tolerance of corruption in government is another reason why empires fall.

  Third, empires break up or are destroyed because of one people seeking to impose their will on other peoples. Eventually, the other peoples rebel leading to violence, destruction, hatred, killing, and ruin. While powerful military forces may build up an empire, the rebellious subjects inevitiably learn how to build up their own military, causing splits in the empire.

  Today, we see evidence of all three of these tragic trends in present day American society. Ironically, the very principles of freedom and democracy that we are supposed to treasure have become so twisted that it is hard to see the difference now between America as it is now and the British colonial empire that Americans originally broke away from. With that in mind, I would recommend a second American Revolution to save ourselves from the fate of the empires that came before us!

Subject: Mexico is angry....

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from Sonora don't like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It's almost funny. 

State of  Sonora is angry at Influx of Mexicans into Mexico .
Nine state legislators from the Mexican state of  Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona 's new employer crackdown on illegals from Mexico .
It seems that many Mexican illegals are now returning to their hometowns and the officials in the  Sonora state government are ticked off about it. 
A delegation of nine state legislators from  Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say  Arizona 's new
employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state. 
At a news conference, the legislators said  Sonora -  Arizona 's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money. 
The law, which took effect Jan.1, punishes employers who knowingly  hire individuals who don't have valid legal documents to work in the   United States . 
Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business license. 
The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on their state government. 
'How can they pass a law like this?' asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents  Nogales . 
'There is not one person living in  Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in  Arizona ,' she said, speaking only in Spanish. 
'Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs,' she said. 
'We are one family, socially and economically, ' she said of the people of   Sonora and Arizona
Wrong! 
The   United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico , and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of   Mexico 's citizens. 
It's time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop parasitically feeding off of the  United States and to start taking care of its/their own needs. 
Too bad all the  US states don't pass a law just like Arizona. Maybe that's the answer, since our US Congress will not do anything! 
New Immigration Laws: Read to the bottom or you will miss the message... 
1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools. 
* * * * * * * * 
2. All ballots will be in this nation's language.
* * * * * * * * 
3.. All government business will be conducted in our language.
* * * * * * * * 
4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.
* * * * * * * * 
5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office
* * * * * * *
*

* * * * * * * * 
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
* * * * * * * * 
8. If foreigners come here and buy land... options will be restricted. Certain parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
* * * * * * * * 
9.. Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. These will lead to deportation.
* * * * * * * * 
10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted &, when caught, sent to jail until your
deportation can be arranged. All assets will be taken from you.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 
Too strict?..... . 
The above laws are current immigration laws of  MEXICO !!! 
These sound fine to me.  NOW, how can we get these laws to be  America 's immigration laws??

WAKE UP,   AMERICA -
we are losing our country..... ....

We Are Coffee Beans

---

 A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

  A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as
one problem was solved, a new one arose.Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water andplaced each on a high gas . Soon the pots came to a boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots
out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a
bowl.
Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her
daughter,
               she asked, "Tell me what you see."

        "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

Her mother brought her closer,and asked her,to feel the carrots. She did and
noted that they were soft.

  The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg
and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

  Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter
smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

  The daughter then asked, "What does it
mean, mother?"

  Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same
adversity: boiling water.

  Each reacted differently.

  The carrot went in
strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling
water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer
shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the
boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were
unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the
water.

  "Which are you?" she asked her daughter.

  "When adversity knocks on your
door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?


Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain
and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?
Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial
hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my
shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff
spirit and hardened heart?


Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the
very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases
the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their
worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is
the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to
another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a
coffee bean? I had to be yes  my sweet O! I am bean!


May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they
just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest
future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in
life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to
you.

  (I JUST DID);

  To those who have touched your life in one way or another;
to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you
see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose
friendships you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
