Hi Robert, you bring up subjects women don’t think of themselves, please don’t be offended but I wonder why we need a male, any male, to point out these things and yet you seem to get kudos for any comment you send in, you are articulate I’ll give you that – though ladies, why not bring up these subjects yourselves if they are so top of mind and have been as issue in your life, I would love to hear about it from a female mouth bc your the bearer of the burden, why not have your own say?

Again Robert, no offense to you…but as the comments indicate we apparently are aware of this and other subject matter you’ve brought up, but hey…I’m just thinking out loud. I’ll say, based on your comment, it’s really no wonder why I never ever go to those movies, not only are they just trash to me but tehy make me ill in the belly, I guess on a subconscious level I know what you stated was true, wouldn’t know that for a fact though bc I don’t see the garbage movies and don’t hang with anyone who does, no bros in my fam.

Clark, the pink pant pics are in MIscha’s possession, it’s her call when she and if she uses them : ) you have been patient though, appreciate that, you too, Larry : ) after these you’ll have the ZL ta’s, legs/buttocks/back, so now I’ll get going on the face shots, maybe a nice black and white, love that look…

Misch, hope you’re busy doing something fun : )

Caio for now, Luv, Zen Lill

The time has come for the mainland to recognize its fellow citizens outside its continental borders.
=======================
The Constitution of the United States should be applicable wherever the flag flies. That would be the logical conclusion.

However, a series of Supreme Court rulings from 1901, known as the Insular Cases, created a distinction between incorporated territories and unincorporated territories –a distinction not envisioned by the drafters of the constitution.

Backed by these legal doctrines, which granted unlimited power to Congress and federal officials, resistance to territorial autonomy grew over the decades. The distance and lack of voting representation in Congress allows the federal government to put off policy decisions on territorial issues.

This drift has strained relations between federal officials and our community. With the impending military realignment efforts underway, it is incumbent upon Congress to address the political status of Guam, as well as provide for a voting member in Congress.

The possessions have become cynical of federal officials, who accuse local politicians of bad faith and irresponsibility, never looking into the mirror themselves, and, as a result, fail to act at all on this important question.

This non-responsiveness has meant economic weakness for the territories. Per capita income in all the territories is about a third less than that of the lowest state in the union and well below the U.S. average.

What is and has been the fundamental principal for territorial relationships with the federal government? The principal can be found in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which established that the goal of all territorial acquisition eventually was to be statehood.

The federal government was granted broad authority under this act, but the power was not unlimited. It envisioned that settlement of the ceded territories would, in due course, cause them to become states.

The act ordained three states in a territories evolution: total government authority in an appointed governor; continuance of an appointed governor but with an elected legislature and local courts, and statehood.

This evolutionary process culminates into statehood. However, Guam has never been allowed to follow the pattern of other territories. The insular cases created a political purgatory status that keeps Guam in limbo until Congress so desires to take action.

The time has come for Congress to move on the question of statehood or independence for Guam. In sum, the offshore territories have been treated differently than those on the continent.

The issue today for Guam is to formulate a path to political status change, in line with the Northwest Ordinance, to permit the full economic and political participation as U.S. citizens. Thus the designation of unincorporated status must be erased.

As to whether Guam should be granted a voting member of Congress, since the Northwest Ordinance was enacted when congress was unicameral, the tradition was developed of limiting the delegates seat to the House of Representatives and restricting his speech to territorial matters that required congressional action. Asking for a seat in both houses today has merit.

=================================
Surely, if we are expected to house another contingent of America’s finest, then we should be granted the right to vote in the Presidential election and given the right to be represented in both houses of the US Congress.

Why would you prevent us from knowing about those who are in contact with you?

Jackie, my sister said that she wanted to go join the “girlz.” That was about a year ago. She and I were best friends for 31 years.

The person or thing that is here with me now is not my sister. A very good copy, but NOT my sister. I ask her if she is a cyborg. She smiles and says no.

Sometimes I tell her I know that she is not my sister she smiles and says although she wants to be a girlz, as I can see she is still here. I know my sister, we communicated every day even after I got married 4 years ago.

This is not my sister. She is different in ways that others can accept as okay, but i knew my sister, this is not her.

Why does she have to lie? I would accept my sister’s leaving. She was set on going and I know that where ever she is if she could contact me she would. She knows that she can trust me.

This thing still calls and we talk about many things even your blog Michelle. I tell her that I know that my sister has left and that I will keep her secret. But she continues to lie. She says, “I would tell you if I had left.”

My sister has left.
