something is funky with yahoo apparently, as it rerouted an email to a friend to you, gary. april labine katko is my wife. i am the mover from coleman's. you asked me to send a link to her articles, and for me to send you a couple cartoons, which i did weeks ago.

as far as "lily white wheatie eaters" and "feeling sorry for herself", you are about as off base as one could possibly be. she is salt of the earth-raised in a mining town in northern ontario, canada. her father worked 80 to 100 hr. weeks for years to raise the family. i've seen the pay stubs-it's no joke. she and her sister worked construction with dad for NO PAY -just to help him. she worked full time in toronto and went to school full time to put herself through journalism school. dshe now writes a weekly column for an online mag and for a quarterly in canada, as well as holding down a day job.

as far as "lilly white", yes she is-a beautiful lilly white aryan woman-just the way i like them.the best breed in the world. as far as "feeling sorry for herself", that comment was pretty whacked as well. when she went to see her folks in toronto, she was detained at the border on return and disallowed to reenter the u.s. for ONE YEAR,TWO MONTHS AND 4 DAYS, even though we were married. i was not allowed to enter canada because of a d.u.i. and if we had snuck in to see each other there would have been a 10 year moratorium on her visa. meanwhile. in that year. over 400,ooo illegal aliens snuck in to the u.s., with no background check and no health tests. that's right-believe it or not, the truth of the matter is that 10's of thousands of rapists murderers, pedoophiles, lepers, hiv and various other disease carriers crept in to our country to overcrowd it, suck up fed and state assistance {30 per cent of them are on some form of welfare]. medicaid, unpaid hospitable bills, etc. these are not my "brothers and sisters". nor are the chinese.i would like to know when the last time you worked a labor job was. sounds like...never? as for me i am working a union job with good pay where bylaws say i must be paid a good wage and be treated fairly. mass cheap labor is the threat to a livable wage. we do not blame anyone for trying to make a better life. but if it's so bad where they are from, they need to grow some balls and change their own 3rd world toilets in to a place that is a decent home for their families. instead they change our places in to a toilet. won't learn the language.i live on the dividision of white/ barrio. i know. all i have to do is look out my window to see reality. can you see it from yours? or is there a million dollar condo blocking your view? chris
