Your Letters
Nearly every one of us walks around with a communication device in our pocket and has a desk or laptop device more powerful than the computers of the Apollo missions. Object to change, but fight the actual agent of change.
American businesses are paying below-minimum wage, or are not taking payroll or Social Security taxes. Immigration happens because they thought it offered them hope of a better life.
Be valid in your complaints, and don�t use statistics that have been proven false like �Illegal immigrants account for 2,160,000 sex crimes.�
Porous borders allow American businesses to avoid paying a living wage. The people they import work off the books and are willing to live in squalor. Americans remain unemployed, and illegal aliens clean our hotel rooms or pick our fruit. More>>

Dang. The last thing I need is to buy stock from some mouth-breathing spammer who thinks I'm going to invest my life's savings into an investment this idiot can't spell. Never take financial or pharmaceutical advice you get by email.
I blow across the top of the BlackBerry, spin it around my finger, and reholster it. I relax a bit, but my hand never strays far from my belt.
Unfortunately, my BlackBerry is also wreaking havoc on my eyesight and attention to detail. The problem is that when I read my emails, I don't always see every word on the screen. More>>
