Valid point, but Tampa, and Daytona Beach, are much better than Orlando! But I still think party, and potential vote, makes a bigger difference than just “race” in Florida, and several other “red” states.
Somehow, 87% of the people on governor Scott’s list of “not citizens” are minorities. And many are, in fact, citizens. It’s a power grab. The Republican secretary of state got my daughter here in Colorado, a full-fledged citizen, and not even a minority! We’ll be working this week to get her registration reinstated. When the GOP strategy involves removing citizens from the voting rolls and blocking voter registration drives, they really have lost all legitimacy as a political party.
“Yet Bennet thinks voting is less important than recycling cans for money?”Recycling isn’t a guaranteed right granted by the constitution. If my wallet is stolen or otherwise lost before I drop off my recyclables, I can always save them up until my new picture ID arrives in the mail.
Tigger, with your encyclopedic knowledge of aircraft, and airlines, and all things “security”, why did you not know none of the planes hijacked on 9/11 had a flight engineer? The airlines got the cooperation of manufacturers to get them “union dudes” out of the cockpit a long time ago.
Ima, as the Israelis and Mossad have said for long time, if you let them get in the terminal, you’ve already blown it! TSA scans are very profitable for the companies making these nearly worthless “security measures”, but the don’t increase security a smidge. It is OBSERVATION of BEHAVIORS, and EXTERIOR intelligence and security, like the warning before 9/11 that “something was definitely up”, that were ignored, that provide actual safety and security.
Re id for recycling. Over here the theft of copper plaques, especially from war memorials, or lead cladding from historic buildings, especially church roofs, has meant that new measures were introduced, short of requiring an ID ( the U.K. does not have national ID), by banning cash transactions when selling scrap metal.
