Very true what you said Paul but I can assure you it is far worse in California. On the fairness doctrine, there actually was once a need to be fair as their were such technological limits to diversity of opinion. Today, you have conservative talk radio, liberal talk radio, financial talk radio, sports talk radio, sleazy talk radio. Add in the Internet, you can create a new format all together. As a matter of fact, I don't really care if they reinstate the fairness doctrine because I find myself listening to everything on podcast now. I would probably have to start paying for it but it would be worth it to me. What I don't understand is why this only pertains to auditory airwaves and not visual airwaves. Why not a conservative sitting next to Katie Couric doing his or her 15 minutes? No matter what, the people own the airwaves, not the legislators and the people's freedom of speech cannot be stopped.
Let's talk about fairness now. What I find really unfair is that so many immigrants can be lazy and contribute nothing to society these days. We let it happen by allowing the government to put every form imaginable in foreign language after foreign language. They pay for interpreters in hospital and jails and government offices. It is one thing if your a tourist, you have a consulate to go to. But if you want to live here, you have to "live" here. That means, communicate with your fellow countrymen. Make an effort and be a good citizen. Don't try to live your life in America as if you never left your home country. THIS, is your new country and you should feel that way, especially if you took great risks to come here and you see the reward you have gained.

I might not go as far as to categorize the illegal immigrants as lazy, although I'm sure there are some. However, I do know that a study was recently done by the Heritage Foundation that found that each illegal immigrant is a net drain on the economy by several thousand dollars a year. This adds up to 10's of Billions of dollars. This takes into account all of the social services they get for free (education, welfare, medical......etc.) That's insane.
When a person comes in LEGALLY they must first have a sponsor in the country, have employable skills, and have a job lined up. This is a good law and ensures that they won't be a drain on society.
