Re: An HP Position is Open in Texas
It seems that more Haitians want to emmigrate to the U.S., than vice versa.
I have not yet seen any news stories about U.S. citizens trying to get to
Haiti in a makeship boat, only to be picked up on the beach are forcibly
returned to the U.S. Please let me know if I missed one of them.
In the meantime I'll take my changes with being "socially maladjusted."
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
