What ...I'm am writing about growth in general. What are the limits of growth? When does growth begin to impact the quality of life and standard of living for all of us. What can you do to stabilize the U.S. population? It's sounds from the census data that the answers lie in the Hispanic communities across America because that is where most of the growth occurs.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-5482872298802686142010-12-22T17:54:37.059-06:002010-12-22T17:54:37.059-06:00It's time for Hispanics to wake up and realize...It's time for Hispanics to wake up and realize that this kind of growth is not in their best interests. Every new face is another competitor for jobs and resources and another step down the road toward the kind of country they abandoned when they came here.

After hours of debate, they issued the 158-word “Ordinance of Secession,” which repealed the consent of South Carolina to the Constitution and declared the state to be an independent country. Four days later, the same group drafted a seven-page “Declaration of the Immediate Causes,” explaining why they had decided to split the Union.<br /><br />The authors of these papers flattered themselves that they’d conjured up a second American Revolution. Instead, the Secession Convention was the beginning of the Civil War, which killed some 620,000 Americans; an equivalent war today would send home more than six million body bags.<br /><br />The next five years will include an all-you-can-eat special of national remembrance. Yet even after 150 years full of grief and pride and anger, we greet the sesquicentennial wondering, why did the South secede?<br /><br />I can testify about the South under oath. I was born and raised there, and 12 men in my family fought for the Confederacy; two of them were killed. And since I was a boy, the answer I’ve heard to this question, from Virginia to Louisiana (from whites, never from blacks), is this: “The War Between the States was about states’ rights. It was not about slavery.”<br /><br />I’ve heard it from women and from men, from sober people and from people liquored up on anti-Washington talk. The North wouldn’t let us govern ourselves, they say, and Congress laid on tariffs that hurt the South. So we rebelled. Secession and the Civil War, in other words, were about small government, limited federal powers and states’ rights.<br /><br />But a look through the declaration of causes written by South Carolina and four of the 10 states that followed it out of the Union — which, taken together, paint a kind of self-portrait of the Confederacy — reveals a different story. From Georgia to Texas, each state said the reason it was getting out was that the awful Northern states were threatening to do away with slavery.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://raciality.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Raciality.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
