There is only one race and that is the human race. Ethnicities add color and variety to the human race. That is all.
There have been systems put into practice since the end of our civil war that put w****s at an advantage over b****s. They include Jim Crow laws, redlining neighborhoods to prevent b****s from living there, separate and unequal education, and discriminatory v****g practices. There was a time here when it took 5 black men to equal 3 white men for Congressional representation. It was necessary to consider b****s as less than human in order to justify their ens***ement, mistreatment, and lynching. What about the current practice of calling the police when b****s are not doing anything illegal? Some things have improved, but not all.

Michigan borders on Lakes Michigan and Huron. Our Upper Peninsula borders on Lake Superior. In addition we have many inland lakes. All this water creates a lot of wetland areas both big and small.

As for the CA fires, did you watch the news broadcasts? In some the reporters stand in front of wildlands which are not burning. Take a look and you will see an abundance of undergrowth. LOTS of fire fuel. Firefighters in CA had been trying for years to change the CA laws which prohibited control burns and removal of dead trees where growth is dense. The governor firefighter supported vetoed bills which would have addressed the problems. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB1463
It might come as a surprise to some, but fires become larger and more intense when they have more fuel. This is a phenomenon known since the Paleolithic Age.

The record shows that hurricanes in general, as well as "extreme" hurricanes, have diminished over the last thirty years.
Asking "could it be" puts you into the category of the TV wackos who assign every improvement in humanities lot to "Ancient Aliens". It is impossible to prove or refute such a premise.
The expected rate of warming is based on flawed models, which obviously do not account for all parameters, since, if they did, the rate of change would have been predicted correctly. To claim your erroneous analysis proves your point is asinine.

Actually I was just asking questions. I wasn't providing or claiming an analysis. I was merely looking for more information. That isn't asinine.
What about more frequent extreme hurrlcanes like Katrina and Maria? What about the large fires in the western part of the country? Could these be a result of a changing climate? The polar icecaps are melting at a faster pace than anticipated. Is this another sign?

I am from the REAL WETLANDS of Louisiana and Missippi. I dont see how a five acre track could qualify as a wetland.
I have ponds and homenade lakes larger than that on my tree farm.
Wouldn't location be more important than size?
The question of open borders v a wall is solved by a wall with a gate.

I have lived in Ca for 55 yrs. Are U saying that your son & family are in need. Tell them to go to the welfare office. They will come away with a lot of c**pons for all kinds of free stuff. Your son can read and write can't he?
I'm not saying they're in need. I was responding to your statement that "every" California resident gets food stamps. My son is a Marine with a masters degree. He can read, write, and fight.

More Dem-0-rat pragaganda. Food stamps sold for cash, cash for drugs. Every single person in California gets two hundred bucks in food stamps. I can buy $200 worth @ anytime the day they are issued. Beggars everywhere, holding signs, "I an hungry." After panhandling for hundreds of $ they get into their Cadillac and drive home. I could care less. I see a lot of fat people on snap pushing two over flowing carts filledw with candy and coke . I look the ther way about the hungry issue. Dem-o-ra BS.

My son and his wife live in CA. They don't get food stamps. Where did you get your information?
Seems to me this post is true of both the right and the left extremists.
I offer my amens as well as I remember my father (WWI), my brother (WWII), and my husband (Vietnam).

Of course not! People who have a******ns either pay for the procedure themselves or through their health insurance. Who is profiting?
Want fewer a******ns? Support all forms of birth control and family planning.
