QuotedavesterIt was sooo much easier for american terrorists of a few decades ago.

That's just so apparent even C students might grasp it. Oh! Right GW was a C student.

How many "criminal" employers does that make? If they didn't get work they wouldn't come. If the law were enforced ($10,000 fine for each incident) there would not be this problem. What part of that don't people get? The law is on the books, the spinelessness lies with the politicians who won't allow it to be enforced. Enforce the existing law and we won't be talking about this.

Is that true? You have to put on an act to remain in good graces with family. That's so unfortunate. One of my brothers (I have 5) is gay and actually went through the hetro marriage ritual. It was unfair to him AND his wife. They never had kids and amicably split. A few years later (well into his 30s) he brought everything out for family consumption. It was transforming for him and the rest
