All of these companies pocketed millions.

They are not offering to pay with their personal wealth.

They are looking to the government to pay for their greed.

If the government DOES absorb the bill – Who will pay? YOU!

Not to say Im exactly running around like Chicken Little yelling ‘The sky is falling’ but if push came to shove do you have the necessary paperwork to make a move out of the country?

I should also mention in addition to a passport it may also be necessary to obtain a VISA for the country that you wish to travel to.

Duane `Dog’ Chapman’s Show to Resume

TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman is preparing a return to the airwaves.
The Chapman family confirmed Thursday that filming is set to resume on the A&E show “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” The show features Chapman and crew in pursuit of bail jumpers in Hawaii and other states.

It was the highest rated show on A&E before the network pulled it off the air in November. Chapman was heard in a taped phone conversation using a racial slur in reference to his son’s black girlfriend.

Chapman has apologized and tried to make amends with the network and the black community.

Network officials says that since the show is about second chances, they decided to accept his apology and resume production. No air date has been announced.

A&E is a joint venture of Hearst Corp., Disney ABC Cable and NBC Universal Cable.

Address at the NAACP’ on the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education

Audio Excerpts:

On poor people:

“The lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. … I’m talking about people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? And where were you when he was 18, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol?”

On illiteracy:

“Brown v. Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We’ve got to take the neighborhood back. We’ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It’s right around the corner. It can’t speak English. It doesn’t want to speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain’t where you is go, ra.” … Everybody knows how important it is to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t land a plane with ‘Why you ain’t …’ You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.”

I’m really tired of the backwards direction black people are going in general. True, there are exceptions to every rule, but overall we are in bad shape. Our family life is damn near non-existant, our financial priorities are not in order, our children have the wrong idea of what success is, our schools aren’t teaching what is important…

Do you know who you are? Do you know where you’ve been? Do you know where you’re going?
