Wanted:

One million new cops. Apply ASAP, in Arizona - birdsonawire:

"...The projections show that by 2050:

•Nearly one in five Americans will have been born outside the USA vs. one in eight in 2005."

That's twenty percent by my math. I love it!

I spent some time (not enough!) working in Hawai'i and I was so impressed by that multicultural society. The people in our office there and the workers out in the field (construction) were descended from every nation. You probably won't notice it as much when you vacation in the islands. You're there to have fun, not do a sociological study, but if you have a chance to simply live there for a short time, you'll see how well a multicultural society works and plays. It's great! And if you're not too full of yourself, those you come into contact with will forget that you're a dumb haole and welcome you...

  1. Hawaii also has employer-mandated health insurance and -- guess what? -- the volcanoes haven't erupted or anything. In fact, the employers don't seem to mind: For some reason, they think it's their responsibility anyway. Go figure.

  2. HI has a an unemployment figure of 6.9% and has gained almost 10,000 jobs since one year ago. Not a bad place to do business.
