it would do some good to follow that plan. we take care of every other dang country when our own ppl are suffering. but nobody seems to care, its always other countries that get what they need. illegal aliens can get on welfare, wic  and healt care. cant speak a drop of english. for some americans who have lived here all their lives they can't get health care, they are making 7.00 an hour work another job to make ends meet but make too much money to get health care  >:(  tell me the logic behind that ???? ok im stepping off the soap box before i rant and rave too much

What makes you think we would take care of our own if we became isolated?  I mean, really, we already are walking the plank towards it...and Duh-bya's most recent budget slashes welfare and social service benefits to almost nothing...Meanwhile, 75% of his budget proposal was defensive spending...NOT including the war in Iraq and Afghanistan...so, you see what isolation leads to...more defense.

I think we need to get rid of "Duh-bya"

You knew I was coming with my 2 cents...

Sounds like isolationism to me.  Duh-bya would love that. 

I agree, Foxx. This has been around forever, and is nothing but a load of horse you-know-what. 

But, that's just me.

Good rants are great for your mental health. So have a good one.  I will say what is happening in this area with illegals. They are driving the wages down for people in the construction and heavy equipment areas. Of course the owners of the projects are not lower their prices one bit just making more profit.

I think it is great and doesnt matter who said it. I think this country could do with a period of isolation let the world deal with itself for awhile. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  I think after about 1 year of no US the rest of the world would be missing us vig time

perhaps i should have be a bit more specific in the subject of this post. i happen to think that all of the statements have some basis of truth behind them. i really dont care if mr. williams had originally stated them or not. i merely received this in an email today and thought it hit a chord. lol.  ;::

Ok, so Robin Williams didn't say any of it....but you have to admit whoever did say/write it.....makes some very valid points.  :D
