Unfortunately a photo can only partly convey the atmosphere. You have to add incence, prayers being mumbled and chanting priests yourselves...

The Mantra

YOU HAVE THOUGHT THIS ONE THROUGH PRETTY EXTENSIVELY. DO YOU KNOW WHY JAPAN IS ONE OF THE SAFEST NATIONS IN THE WORLD? IT IS STRICTLY BECAUSE THEIR BORDERS ARE THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND UNLESS YOU ARE A DAMNED GOOD SWIMMER AND CAN ELUDE THEIR "REAL" BORDER PATROLS, SHARKS AND THE JMSDF, YOU WILL NOT GET IN WITHOUT A PROPER PASSPORT AND AN APPROVED VISA...

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, THE LAST THING JAPAN WANTS IS A DIVERSITY PROGRAM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE IDEA OF SENDING FIVE MILLION UNEMPLOYED WHITE FOLKS FROM THE CAROLINAS, ARKANSAS AND TENNESSEE TO JAPAN TO HELP DIVERSIFY THEIR CULTURE?

HA HA...THEY WOULD NOT THRILL AT THE IDEA. THEY HAVE WHAT IS CALLED A HERITAGE WITHIN. THE USA HAS A HERITAGE WITHIN, BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, WE WANT TO IMPORT MORE HERITAGE. A NATION CAN ONLY SUPPORT SO MANY HERITAGES UNTIL THERE IS A CONFLICT. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW, A CONFLICT OF CULTURES. AND UNTIL THERE IS A PROPER, SENSIBLE IMMIGRATION PROGRAM, WE ARE NOT THE MELTING POT OF THE WORLD, WE ARE THE STINK POT OF THE WORLD.

WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH DRUG DEALERS, SO WE JUST LEAVE THE BORDERS OPEN. COME ON IN FELLOWS, LET US MAKE THIS DRUG DEALING FAIR AND BALANCED. NO PASSPORT? NO PROBLEM--WE DON'T WANT TO SEE NO STINKIN' PASSPORTS. JUST DRIVE ON IN. AND NO, WE DON'T CARE WHAT IS BENEATH THAT THERE TARP IN THE BACK OF YOUR PICK-UP TRUCK, JUST COME ON IN...

THAT IS THE HOMELAND SECURITY WE HAVE, NONE

Immigration Reform

Immigration Reform
Originally uploaded by greenelent

A NEW GALLERY INSPIRED BY GREENELENT'S PHOTOSTREAM. I AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF CITIZENSHIP FOR IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE GOING TO BE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. I HAVE MET VERY FEW IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE NOT ADMIRABLE IN ALL THEIR AMBITIONS, VALUES AND GOALS TO LEAD A GREAT AND FREE LIFE IN THE USA. I ALSO BELIEVE IN A SEMI-BI-LINGUAL SOCIETY IN THAT ALL U.S. SCHOOLS SHOULD BEGIN A SPANISH / ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROGRAM FOR ALL SCHOOLS K THROUGH 12 TO MAKE COMMUNICATIONS A PART OF THE IMMIGRATION. WHERE THERE IS COMMUNICATION THERE IS HARMONY. IT IS MY GOAL TO SEE THAT THIS CURRICULA BECOMES A STANDARD FORMAT IN ALL U. S. PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND I WOULD APPRECIATE SUPPORT FROM ALL WHO BELIEVE IN THIS CAUSE. HAVING BEEN TO MEXICO MANY TIMES, I LEARNED TO SPEACH VERY BASIC SPANISH; I LEARNED ABOUT THE HISPANIC STANDARDS AND VALUES, A LIFESTYLE OF SINCERE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS KIND AND UNDERSTANDING TO AMERICANS VISITING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THOSE WHO ARE OF A CRIMINAL MIND NEVER REACH THE U.S. BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE OF ANOTHER NATURE, NOT ONE THAT I AM INVOLVED IN. SO, CONSIDER ME A SUPPORTER OF IMMIGRATION REFORM IN MOST ALL OF ITS ASPECTS. YES, I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN, BUT I KNOW THAT NEW IMMIGRANTS WILL MAKE THIS NATION EVEN GREATER THAN IT IS NOW AND MAY HELP US WITH THE ILLS WE ARE SUFFERING AT THIS TIME.

STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS ESSAY WITHOUT RULES OR PUNCTUATION AND SOME OF THE WORDS DO NOT MAKE COMPETE SENTENCES BUT GO OFF THE PAGE AS IF THEY FADE FROM OUR MIND...........

TERRORISM IS NOT THE PRODUCT OF ANY TRUE RELIGIONS

THERE ARE THOSE WHO PERVERT RELIGION IN EVERY NATION ON EARTH

MAN HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO FEEL BIGGER THAN THE CREATOR BUT SINCE ALL MEN ARE MORTAL

WHEN SPEAKING OF MAN, IT IS USED IN THE UNIVERSAL DEFINITION OF MANKIND. YES, ONE COULD SAY MANANDWOMANDKIND.........but it gets lenthy. HUMANITY MIGHT BE THE WORD FOR THE PLURAL....

WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE EVIL PRESENT AS WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE GOOD PRESENT

GOOD AND EVIL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION SINCE HUMANS APPEARED

THERE WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE A PERFECT WORLD OF GOODNESS HERE ON EARTH

THE UNIVERSE IS LARGE AND WE DO NOT KNOW ALL THERE IS OUT THERE

THERE COULD BE OTHER WORLDS IN THE TRILLIONS TIMES TRILLION LIGHT YEARS OF SPACE TIME, SO IT IS A MYSTERY NO LIVING PERSON CAN EXPLAIN

THERE ARE THOSE CLAIM TO KNOW ALL WISDOM

THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY ALL WE SEE AROUND US IS ONLY A MIRAGE

THERE ARE MANY WHO SIMPLY DO NOT SPEND TIME THINKING ABOUT THE MYSTERIES OF SPACE BUT SIMPLY TRY TO EXIST AND FIND HAPPINESS HERE AND NOW

THERE ARE THOSE WHO WISH WE KNEW MORE ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY SATISFIED BY THE SIGHT OF A RAINDROP ON A ROSE

THERE ARE THOSE WHO MUST BE IN THE PUBLIC EYE AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SATISFACTION

THERE ARE WRITERS WHO CONTINUALLY TRY TO FIND WISDOM THROUGH PROVOCATIVE FICTION AND ESSAYS

THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME RELIGION THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND FIND SERENITY AND PURPOSE

THERE ARE THOSE WHO FEEL THAT RELIGION IS A JOKE

THERE ARE JOKERS WHO ARE RELIGIOUS

SOME RELIGIONS ARE AKIN TO BAD JOKES

WHAT IS RELIGION BUT A WAY OF THINKING ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LIFE ENDS

WHY ISN'T GEORGE WASHINGTON STILL ALIVE IF HE WAS SO GREAT?

IF THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE, WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON AND OTHER GREAT LEADERS?

IF THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY COULD TALK TO US, WOULD THEY TALK TO US?

DO THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE SOMETIMES BECOME TOO EXHAUSTIVE TO CONTEMPLATE?

THERE ARE THOSE WHO THINK THE CREATOR HAS CREATED US FOR AMUSEMENT
