I rarely post photos on magic anymore due to random stuff. Seems most people are on Orlando united now anyway, even my site lost a few posters (and we have so few already)

Big corps say you better provide extra for the company or you could be gone tomorrow. But if I can be gone tomorrow, then why would I want to go the extra mile. It just creates an environment of frustration in which neither side benefits or is happy. There has to be a better way

They need to step in, and stop the off shoring of good American jobs, and stop allowing people to illegally enter this country, where they are quickly becoming a poorly trained slave labor force for those who care nothing about this country. They care only about themselves. Incentives should be given to those who keep, and create jobs here in the States. For those that tend to want to have a cheap labor force, and sweat shops on foreign soil, they should be allowed to do so. They should also be allowed to imigrate to those country's, and live there. While the US decides if it is in the best interest of this country to allow them to trade here duty free. I have never been nor will I ever be a protectionist. I have always believed in free, and open trade. I frown on the thought of trade wars. However, that must be reciprocated by the countries that wants to have our markets opened to them. However we can not allow our country to become a country of users rather than a country of producers, and consumers. Realist job creation, with a healthy middle class is the key to saving our country from ruin. >> for all those who chastisd me on WE about Chicago politics - backdoor deals - forget any rules - spend no matter if you have the funds or not ( look at almost bankrupt Illinois where classroom sizes will now be close to 40 in many school districts ) -- << NOOOOOO VBDAD, you haven't been back over there have you? I must plead ignorance, because I never really knew nor did I really care how Chicago polotics was. That was a terrible mistake on my part. I think myself, as well as the rest of the Nation, is quickly getting a crash coarse in it. >> to hear a former judge - disbarred for bribery- now in Congress on the rules committee of all places- say we don't need any rules now because we're trying to accomplish something here..welcome to Chicagoland of America ... << That is truly a travesty!
