Why is oil over $65 a barrel right now?

[Clandestino]

We're just looking out for you, Clan.

We wouldn't want you to break the law or anything. , he might be a terrorist using the borders of Mexico to come through the country.

Your gardener could be building a dirty bomb, Clan...then what would happen if he did something. In this "War On Terror...", oh wait, I mean the "Global Struggle Against Extremism," you might be on the front line of all of this, Clan.

We'd just hate for you to end up being charged with something like aiding the terrori...uh, extremists and end up at Gitmo or some place.

I am unable to answer the question as to his status because I have not asked to see his papers. Nor will I....ever..

What's your address, I'll send him over. He does great work and you want to hire him you can check his papers...

Unfortunately, I do the yard work at my parent's place and I live in an apartment in San Marcos - the complex has hired a company which has performed the checks necessary for ensuring right-to-work status.

And I'm a citizen.

wow, good for you... and i'm sure that company is not 100% legit. I bet they pay some workers straight cash...

[MannyIsGod]

Isn't failing to confirm his contractor is legal breaking the law? Clandestino who has the sermon on not breaking the law down pat is breaking the law? No, ing, Way!

But don't all businesses break the law, Clan?

If so, then I'm sure you wouldn't mind the gov't going to your house and doing random searches for illegal workers, right?

i'd get a slap on the wrist... no biggie...

most do in one way or another...

nah, they'd have to have probable cause...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Well, maybe they'll just use the PATRIOT Act to investigate.

Immigration and the prevention of terrori...uh, extremists crossing the border is of utmost importance to our gov't.

Well 20 points of that drop is due to two posters - Clandestino and Hook Dem

I was thinking more along the lines of clubalien, boutons, and cecil collins. I am skeptical that Clandestino got an stupider while I was gone - that would be a mighty task.

Ouch!

It's all good. Let these new guys find their legs, they'll be fine.

[cecil collins]

Just glad to make the list.

It certainly would change the lifestyles of a lot of people. Perhaps there would be a reverse in the current flock to the suburbs. More people would live in the city, closer to work. They would probably walk/bike more, and maybe as a whole the nation would be in better shape.

Cities would become more vertical... and more expensive.

Suburbs that are employment centers would become cities of their own, for example, Tyson's Corner, VA.

Furthermore, with an influx of people back to the cities, the racial divide would be less extreme. Whites and blacks and Hispanics would live closer to one another, building trust and neighborly friendship, all working towards the ultimate goal of racial harmony.

Or, with the influx of more affluent people back into the central cities, property values would skyrocket, and rents would follow suit.

Luckily, there would be a plentiful supply of comfortable tract homes out in the suburbs with low property values for them to move into.

[Extra Stout]

Oh, by the way, for it to make sense for a suburbanite to give up his $200,000 house for a $300,000 condo in the city, oil needs to get up around $400 a barrel or so. At that price, it's probably economical to make gasoline out of McDonald's wrappers and old cell phones.

So I guess this whole hypothetical is just that.

[Spurminator]

Had to be a downer...

[clubalien]

I would also like to point out that under law it is descrimination to turn someone down because you think their papers are illegal or somethng. forgot what it was but the employers say it is a catch 22 but they just use it or something else as an excuse.

It's good to know I bother you that much! Spread the love.

[MannyIsGod]

I would expect a large work from home movement before the migration back the the city.

However, I would like to know where ES pulled the 400 dollar a barrel figure from as the turning point.

[mookie2001]

gas prices up=world economy, greedy oil companies, higher demand, low production

gas prices down=my leader, leading!!!!

In the grown up world, sometimes the real power lies beyond the man. The NeoCons have been around much longer than W. W's part of the new world order crowd his daddy belongs too. It just so happens that both groups saw the opportunity to push their agendas on 911.
