Carlos Urbina, 67, was struck when he tried to cross Highway 82.Urbina had just exited a bus from Aspen and was returning to his home at the Willits Townhouses in Basalt.
Nobody loves America quite like Frosty Woolridge. "Today," he blogs, "after 20 years with the last three presidents, Americans watch their most precious value erode into meaninglessness. Does U.S. citizenship mean anything to this president, our Congress, our governors and our mayors of major cities. After 9/11 decimated our national security blanket, our borders needed closing. Our immigration laws and visas needed immediate tightening as most of the bombers hailed from Saudi Arabia. All of them lied on their applications without fear of inspection. Yet, current policy allows endless immigration by Saudi nationals as well as many others from the Middle East. Has anything changed? Not!"
"The more America imports millions of illegal alien migrants from the third world as well as legal immigrants from ancient cultures," writes Post blogger Frosty Woolridge, "the more the third world manifests itself within the United States.
California features in excess of four million illegal aliens as well as millions of immigrants arriving from third world countries. The predominant aspect of those cultures allows careless and endless tossing of trash anywhere at anytime. Across America today, by adding 2.1 million third world new comers, mostly poor, uneducated and without any background for personal responsibility--America’s highways, cities, rivers, beaches, parks and most pristine areas suffer soiled baby diapers, tossed junk, used oil, chemicals and worse--tossed indiscriminately across our land."

Personally, I look forward to cooking in the colder months of a Colorado winter. I anticipate all the warming foods and the heartier fare that the body requires to grow a layer of fat and stay warm, with more than one errant taste bud tuned in to the good smells to come. I like the long slow braising and stewing methods of cooking. I like the warm spices melding together in a certain kind of Cooking Alchemy that can only happen on a cold winter day, with the wind howling outside, the sky dark and close to the ground and the snow piling up sideways at my front door.
There is also something very pleasurable about being a chef and stocking up a good winter larder. I walk through my kitchen and my eye is caught by all the different colors of dried Beans and grains in my glass quart jar collection on my counter tops. I see White Northern beans, Kidney beans, little red Aduki beans, Green Split peas, Red Split lentils, Black-eyed peas, brown buckwheat, White Basmati rice and golden quinoa staring back at me and oh, how the recipes start dancing around in my head.

Fifteen hundred pounds of marijuana is a whole lot of pot, even in Pitkin County, but 1,500 pounds is not nearly enough for Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) officials to alert Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis that a major drug ring is doing business right under his nose—until the bust was in the books.
The Sheriff is, of course, enamored of those who break the law. Though now only intermittently sighted in his office in the basement of Pitkin County Courthouse—“He keeps his own hours,” explains his secretary—Braudis remains enamored of the criminal element.

Suppose the 12 million to 20 million illegals in the U.S., including Colorado's 250,000, were to dream up the ultimate boycott, a year-long vanishing act to show how "essential" they are to the nation's and state's economies. So they all board a giant teleporter and beam up, from where they watch with satisfaction the wailing and gnashing of teeth of all those too unconnected to their surroundings to mow their own lawns, too irresponsible and presumptuous to raise the children they produce, too dull and uninspired to cook for themselves, and too gentrified to clean up after themselves.
Here's what they would also see that dream year: Workers' wages, benefits and conditions would be improving, especially for our more chronically marginalized workers. The shrinking American working middle class would be expanding. Schools would be less crowded, with education costs lower. Shamefully high school dropout rates would be reversing, and CSAP scores would be trending upward. Our health-care system wouldn't be under assault.

This past week, an email arrived that marks a poignant aspect of America's greatest dilemma in the early years of the 21st century.
In this country, most of our citizens and all of our leaders stick their heads into the sand, bury their brains in mud and talk about everything but the overpopulation dilemma that defines America in the 21st century. Additionally, by avoiding it at all costs, it gains greater speed like a Rocky Mountain avalanche, like an asteroid headed for the center of our planet and like the Titanic speeding toward that fateful iceberg in the North Atlantic.

Over a year ago, Peter Brimelow , author of "Alien Nation" as well as director of www.Vdare.com , addressed the Philadelphia Society. Brimelow addressed immigration and its ongoing ramifications for the United States of America.
He said, "To begin at the end, we're talking about "What is an American?"
"My answer is that Americans just are— they are Americans. We're told this is a nation of immigrants. But I say it's a nation. Immigration is not as central to the American experience as a lot of romantic intellectuals would like you to think.

Can you comprehend what it means to add 100 million people to the United States population in 33 years? How can you intellectually, rationally and emotionally accept that number of people added in a blink of time? Do you have any comprehension of the consequences?

Today the United States, at 300 million people and headed for 400 million in 33 years, sucks the lifeblood out of nature at increasing and alarming rates of speed. If we examined the carnage and consumption of our voracious civilization, we might be appalled at the figures we exact on Mother Nature and our fellow creatures.

Today, our soldiers die in Iraq for a country that does not want us in its land. As Achilles said 3,200 years ago about war, “It never ends.” Another kind of invasion ‘never ends’ by accelerating into the United States of America today. It’s the Trojan Horse of immigration. While our soldiers give their lives in order to free a nation that smells more like the futility of Vietnam, we lose our freedom by the day via a pernicious invasion of unending humanity.

Have you ever seen a tsunami? Probably not! Fact is, no one ever saw a tsunami--until it hit! Earthquakes deep under the ocean occur when tectonic plates shift, crash and reposition. In the process, a huge energy wave releases. That energy rips under the ocean’s surface for hours and countless miles until, as you saw in Sri Lanka two years ago, it slamed into beaches with astonishing force. No one could sense, touch, feel, hear or see it. In Sri Lanka, over 100,000 people died in a few minutes.

Today, California sloshes knee deep in its 37.5 million population overload. It grows by 1,650 people daily! Do the math. By 2050, if this immigration-driven population phenomenon continues, California explodes to 79.1 million people. Source: “Projecting the U.S. Population to 2050” by Jack Martin and Stanley Fogel, March 2006.
