When one considers the great accomplishments of America’s citizens whether it be in winning gold medals at the Olympics or being responsible for great strides in medical research no one cares what color the person’s skin was. That is as it should be. I can’t think of many people who would turn down a critical blood transfusion for their child or the chance of having a kidney transplant because the person’s skin color did not match their own. To me this are such simplistic things that I just don’t understand the prejudice and actually find it abysmal that such a thing can still exist today. In all truth I think that such attitudes are from the dark ages and exist merely because we have been so separated and because we do not understand the heritage of other ethnic groups. How wonderful it would be if we can all share in the diversity of each group and better our lives by doing so. The Bible says that Jesus died for all. That must mean that He did not have any prejudice based on the color of a person’s skin. Our own pledge announces that we must have equality for all our citizens. Equality means that any one of us is able based on their abilities to become the best that they can be but to achieve this we need good schools for all of our children. We need affordable health care for all of our citizens. We need affordable and alternative sources of energy to ensure that our country doesn’t flounder under the wavering friendship of the Shei ...

The Big Agribusiness opponents of California’s Proposition 2 have a track record of duping the public, harming animals, and polluting the environment. They also exploit workers, many of whom are Latino immigrants stuck in the most dangerous and lowest paying jobs in this country. Just look at the United Food and Commercial Workers campaign to end brutal working conditions at Smithfield, and the recent immigration raids in Iowa where authorities targeted low-wage workers as de facto criminals rather than focusing on the Agriprocessors big shots who allowed child labor, animal cruelty, and a range of other abuses to occur. And now, in a shameless display of xenophobia, it seems the factory farm fakers have launched an all-out attack on Mexico. In nearly every communication from the opponents of Prop 2, including in the state’s official Voter Information Guide, they find a way to disparage Mexico—or, in case you don’t get the point, they put it in capital letters, grade-school style: MEXICO. They claim that California farmers won’t be able to adapt to more humane practices, so we’ll have to start importing eggs from MEXICO, and you know what that insinuates. In their feverish desperation, they are trying to turn Mexico into a food boogeyman—less nutrition, more diseases. Never mind that it’s a myth to suggest that local production is meeting California demand for eggs -- since the state already imports half its eggs, a trend that has ...
