Blogs Schmogs

Three years ago if you were to have told me I was going to be writing a blog I probably would've kicked you in the plums, maybe even taken some money from you for a sundae. Essentially, I didn't even know what a blog was and the word just rubs me the wrong way, but being older and much much, much wiser (thank you wisdom teeth removal) I think the idea is brilliant, there are a lot of psychopaths running around out there that need to be writing while that mouse up there is running, or reading all of the interesting things that other psychopaths have to say. But at the age of 22 and living on a ranch 20 some miles away from the Mexican border, I find now is just a good a time as any. So that brings me to the first topic of Paulytics, The Mexican Border. In the great words of Eddie Money, "So we rode late in the night like fires on the desert sand
'til one day the posse caught us 'cause the sheriff always gets his man, Give me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican border cool cool water I need a little water". I'm not going to get in the depths of the meaning of the song but I just want to highlight the fact that the sheriff does not always get his man but he sure gets close especially these days. The other night my mom found the border patrol strolling through our backyard with flashlights. I would just like to make it known that having lived here and visiting here practically my whole life I have yet to see one wetback, border crosser, mojado or illegal alien. It's almost as though their some mythological creature just leaving clues behind, such as empty gallons of water, food city grocery bags and chile limon sabritas, if I didn't know any better I would think they were leaving a trail for the rest of the Fernandez family. Driving into the city part, if you can call it that, of Nogales you can see the great wall of gringos looking like a furrowed brow on a face. I suppose I would call my opinion of the illegal immigration matter ambivalent, because on one hand yes, they are taking some job opportunities away from U.S citizens, but on a completely different hand there are illegal immigrants from all over the world but its only the Mexicans that are being ostracized. I totally think racism is the hand being played here. It has been stated that white supremecsist groups had been pushing the passed law through to legalize discrimination.  As a member of the BPA (brown people association) I will be super pissed if I get stopped because I have dark coloring, not only because thats racist but because my driver's license is suspended and I am currently riding dirty. I think everyone needs to get off the meanie train and hop on to the friends forever railroad all colors allowed, yes even you Grimace with your purple hue. Unfortunately racism is force that has been just underneath the surface for hundreds of years, and I don't think will be going away anytime soon, but if we shine enough light on it now hopefully soon we'll be able to pinpoint the sources. Right now as an Arizonianite I want to find out more about Sheriff Joe Arpaio and find out how he puts his pants on in the morning, I'll bet he drinks his coffee black, like his heart!!! So stay tuned
