A Voice in the Wilderness

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. -- William O.

Homeland Security: A Mexican Hero becomes a US Citizen

Marine becomes US Citizen

"U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Angel Gomez holds up his left arm during a ceremony as David Still, of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services gives the oath at the Veterans Hospital in Palo Alto, Calif., as his parents Paulino and Antonia Gomez stand behind. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services gave Gomez his U.S. citizenship after he was injured in an explosion outside of Baghdad, Iraq, in April. Gomez sustained head wounds and was unable to hold up his right arm during the ceremony." - from Chicano.org

I suppose being paralyzed on the right side of his body means he won't be getting stopped by those wanabe chickenhawks who call themselves, 'Minuteman' Border Patrollers - No Mainstream Media coverage of events like this.
