And I always like to stress, it's not a quota, not a set-aside, it's not about race, it's about giving opportunities to demonstrate their abilities to do work with the Federal Government.

Apartheid Glorified

Quota Oh quota,
Worst than pota,
Racism strengthened and legalized,
Apartheid glorified and constitutionalized.

Islamic quota, Christian quota,
Harijan quota, tribal quota,
Backward quota, handicapped quota,
Regional quota, linguistic quota.

Quota madness welcomed,
Divisive forces institutionalized,
Ah poor meritorious soul! If this be so,
No end or balm for this woe,
No peace for bright wood,
No cure for thy mood.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy.So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

The federal government was responsible for building the levees, engineering the levees, and consequentially, the federal government is responsible for repairing the damage that has been done, which has not been completed yet.

The Federal Government should be the last resort, not the first. Ask if a potential program is truly a federal responsibility or whether it can better be handled privately, by voluntary organizations, or by local or state governments.

Parents today are under a lot of stress, sometimes working two jobs just to make ends meet. They're trying to find day care for their kids and elder care for their own parents. The Federal Government shouldn't add to their worries by not living up to its obligations.

What Are Best Choices?

At present I work
under my own direction
and financial freedom.

This may change after June
2011 world politics will soon
go through an oiled polar shift

illuminati is cause and effect.

At present
both my daughters
are very young

both my sons
have attained degrees?
financially sprung?

Even had they failed
I would be proud
if they had persevered
with genuine effort.

Perceive many choices
opportunities in oyster life
our abilities suit us to

irritation different pursuits?

Change is possible
and desirable
until we find
where our abilities
are best applied.

Youth flux young
have siren abilities
conflict difficulty
of being a teenager

is often complicated
by awareness
of economic life
pressures to succeed

in a career
to gain status
and enjoy
an asset better
lifestyle.

Where in truth
does real happiness lie
what are best choices?

I often quote Ronald Reagan, who is pretty close to my favorite President ever, I will have to say that, but one of my favorite remarks he ever made was that when you look at Federal programs, there is nothing so close to eternal life on Earth as a Federal Government program.
