<p>In Florida a panel has been set-up to investigate the 'cherished institution' of hazing which has become traditional in the music department at Florida A & M University. Before they get into the actual subject of initiating their band's members, they first have to decide if it is okay to talk about it publicly.</p>

<p>In Florida a panel has been set-up to investigate the 'cherished institution' of hazing which has become traditional in the music department at Florida A & M University.

<p>Bear in mind, this is not about the hazing of high school children, this is about initiating young adults to prove them worthy of joining a particular group. Fraternities do this all the time and it is considered a tradition. The military also participates in such rituals. It is true that deaths sometimes occur from this practice, but service members claim that such tests are necessary to ensure the strength of the unit and that it is better for one man to die than to put the whole battalion at risk.</p>
<p>Opinions on this topic vary as they do with any controversial behavior, but why would lawmakers try to circumvent an existing law in order to keep the subject from being discussed openly? Do you think that in this case they would like to discuss it differently in private than they would with an audience? Why?</p>

Illegal aliens are alive and well and taking our jobs. True story: My son worked as a cook at a restaurant right on the St. Clair River, right in view of Ontario. Right across the street an apartment complex was being put up.<br />

One day an interesting car stopped to have lunch at the Pilot House. The swarm of workers that jumped in their trucks and sped away from the building project was unbelievable. The car that stopped? Border Patrol. And they only wanted lunch, not aliens. And THEN, the American contractor for the job went into the restaurant and complained to the bartender because all his staff left early that day.<br />

I am on public assistance from the State of Michigan. I worked for it. I earned it. When I call in, the first thing I hear is "Si usted habla español pulse 1" then I hear "If you speak English, press 1" We aren't even first!<br />
<br />
And dammit, if you speak Spanish and need free public assistance, learn English. And if you haven't been here long enough to learn English, then you haven't been here long enough to earn public assistance.<br />
<br />
I worked as a teacher in an Hispanic-run adult education school. They did wonderful things. But one that was not wonderful: I was called to the front desk. There was a man who could barely speak English, and didn't understand a math problem he had to do to apply for a job. The Spanish receptionist asked if I would do the problem for him. I said no. I'm sorry, I've lost jobs by answering a question wrong. He can too. Or go back to Mexico or Puerto Rico or South America, learn our language, and then come back to earn our money. Or take a class here, after you have become a citizen, and then you can take my math class and learn how to do the fricken problems yourself.<br />

There will be more rants, but for now I am ranted out. Now it is your turn. Either way.
