<p>&nbsp;Stupidity among U.S. Senators is usually typified by watching Senator Harry Reid (D) of Nevada make some dumb statement. He has company in Senators Vitter of Louisiana and Bennett of Utah, both Republicans proving that stupidity exists in both Senatorial parties.</p>
<p>&nbsp;The question is: Shall all persons in the United States be counted in the constitutionally required census every ten years or shall the illegally resident people not be counted?</p>

 As the people of San Diego stare down a $180 million city budget deficit for the next year, some people are again calling for the wholesale privatization of city government in the foolhardy hope that outsourcing public services will save them. Before taking that leap, I urge city leaders to look at the disastrous results of “managed competition” in the federal government.

 Hijole! Los Chargers continue to disappoint. The team doesn’t look good, the whole team looks a step slow. Este Indio still on the bandwagon but the team has to turn it around muy pronto.

<p>&nbsp;In every other advanced industrial nation, they would have received quality health care as a right.</p>

&nbsp;After thirty years of dutifully cooperating with the census count, and even enthusiastically promoting and organizing for a successful enumeration in 1990 and 2000, I have decided this year to sit it out and not comply with the federal law. I do so very conscious of the implications of such noncooperation and noncompliance, but this is more than just a statement of protest; not a whim nor a lark.</p>

<p>&nbsp;I would make just the opposite argument to Nativo Lopez’ call for undocumented people to abstain from answering the census. Mr. Lopez says, “Their resounding demand is – before you count you must legalize us!” Mr. Lopez seems to have already contacted the undocumented people in the U.S., a task which the census is ready to spend millions of dollars to carry out.</p>

&nbsp;Soccer has been popular in the United States for decades, and our country hosted one of the most successful World Cups in history in 1994. But the sport has received a notable boost from Hispanics, who are becoming some of the sport’s staunchest fans.</p>
