The category of farmers also include fishermen and forestry workers. All 3 are very dangerous professions. And remember, suicide as cause of death on a death certificate is not frequently used, because the family does not want that to be on the public record, nor do news media want to report it. I heard about a new express passenger train just started operating in SE Florida, called Brightline, and people have started to kill themselves by jumping in front of it. It is interesting to compare these dangerous professions, along with roofers, construction workers, and convenience store clerks, with firemen and police. The latter groups can retire after 25 yrs with a large portion of their salary (more than 60 percent usually), but what about those roofers, farmers, fishers, etc? |

Yes, it certainly looks like Mexico is collapsing, but Americans still visit it, in carefully controlled areas like Cancun and Cozumel. It used to be a place where Americans low on resources would go to retire, thinking they could live well on a minimal Social Security income. Unlike many aliens in the US, those retirees will not be voting in this Sunday's election, where the most important office, the President, looks to be won by a confirmed leftist candidate. Some might wonder whether the Richest Man in the World, Mexican resident Carlos Slim, will call him into his office and read him 'the riot act.' Remember when they said, if we legalize marijuana, the drug traffic will disappear? Well, I read that Colombia has just had a record-breaking crop of the coca plant. And the Mexican gangs do not seem to be going out of business. |

Combining the 2 agencies would be good news, a first step in reducing to 0 the Education Dept budget. Better to have eliminated it entirely. But, now that this news has surfaced, the Democrat's friends in the media will start playing it for their own benefit; you will not get a fair and balanced view of the topic.Say, while we are on the subject of saving $$, let's talk about Afghanistan. How long have we been there? Have we done any good? The Taliban is still powerful, killing people every week, if anyone pays attention. Meanwhile, we ship boatloads of $$ to pay off the local leaders to keep things safe. And then those drones you hear about, that's a million dollar program. Each time they kill off some leader, another one rises up to take his place. |

I think it's quite appropriate the location for his remains, since the people in that cathedral have little to do with the gospel. Somewhere I did hear of an increase in attendance at these European cathedrals, but it was related to their music concerts, much as this article mentions the music of Holst, etc. And, as we see in baseball stadiums in the US, one thing is the 'official attendance' count and the visual evidence when you watch video highlights of a game and see hundreds of empty seats. For example, yesterday in the famous Camden Yards, I saw very few fans but their official number was nearly 24,000! So, if anyone boasts of a resurgence in attendance at European Cathedrals, ask them if that is attendance at church services or concerts? |
