I wish I blogged more. I’d have a better collection of my thoughts. A better way to express my feelings about stuff ive been holding in. On that note…

Illegal Immigration

I hate the fact that the House & Senate are debating on “Illegal” immigrants. People aren’t illegal. Very few people in this country have ancestry from this country; almost all of us are descended from immigrants. So who are we to try to prevent other people from doing what our parents and grandparents did for themselves. All of the immigrants have come to this country to improve their station in life. It’s the american dream, but the government wants to prevent people who aren’t american from partaking of it. I think this is wrong. We’ve put limits on the amount of people we “accept” from each country, and countries in bad shape, like Mexico or some parts of Asia, have been denied access for years.

My solution is this: Let them in. What’s the worst that could happen? We document them, like we used to do on Ellis Island, and we wish them luck. We can then gain their tax money and stop wasting money to “defend” our borders.

Rap Music

I hate Rap Music right now. So much of it is completely inane. So many of the rappers on the radio are not clever, nor unique, and sound just plain stupid. And when did a life of crime become a prerequisite to rapping. There’s that song by Chamillionaire called Ridin’ Dirty. It’s basically about how he hopes he’s not caught by the police with drugs in his car. I’m tired of the only role models for young people being amoral rich(Paris Hilton), crazy rich(Tom Cruise), or criminal rich(Rappers). When my younger cousin declared T.I. to be an educated rapper, I almost flipped. I’m very very sad about the state of the popular rap music on the radio now. Very sad.
