The taxes are not the same! The free trade, deregulation, and uncontolled survival of the fittest capitalism has nearly bankrupted our nation! Both political parties are guilty of allowing this. The particular party that claims Christianity as their driving force is just as guilty as the others. There are devout Christians in both major parties and some hypocrits in both parties. No, the enforcement is not the same! The taxes are not the same!

According to federal law all commercial truck drivers (those having a class A or class 1 license) must be able to understand and speak English enough to converse with law enforcement. Do they need to know perfect English? No, just enough to understand and answer questions. Law Enforcement has the legal right to impound the truck if the driver is not in compliance. Trucks from Mexico are supposed to meet the same safety standards as their US counterparts.

I have a friend from the past that wanted to reconnect through emails but never wanted to talk by phone. I thought it would be nice to compare parenting ideas but it never got to that sharing. I guess it did hurt my feelings. You are right. Very good thought about the reconnecting with friends.
