And, once again "you raise the bar high for that which you oppose and keep
it low for that which you favor."
The "slavery" of which you think being a Republican thing is actually the
fact that due to a democrat-sponsored bill, signed by President Bush, there
are no minimum wage provisions for Saipan and other Northern Mariana
Islands. My feeling is that if we have a federal minimum wage, it should
apply to all the lands of the United States.
I also suspect that you have very little knowledge of the industries in
Saipan, etc. I once dated a gal who worked there in the early 1980's as a
seamstress. She made one hell of a lot of money, but didn't like living at
the company store, and she got hooked on speed or crystal meth or something
like that. She sure did sew fast, but we operated on different time scales
...
That's "miles away" from slavery, since slavery means "involuntary
servitude" not "wages and conditions below what Bob Miller thinks is
appropriate."
Let me see. I won't address chili, since you can't spell it, and probably
believe that the beans should be cooked in the same pot and at the same time
as the other ingredients. I do like chiles, I even eat whole Jalapenos raw.
So, let me try a simple one. There is no minimum wage in Britan. Is that a
country where all the workers are slaves? Did you know that the starting
wage is higher in Britan than in the United States?
Minimum wages actually cut employment, and discourage the hiring of less
skilled individuals. They're a sop to labor unions, and they tend to lower
the incomes of heads of households. All orthogonal to disclosed Democrat
ideals.
Speaking of appropriate, in your "years" in this "field" have you ever built
anything? Ever erected a tower? Ever provided even a second of a service
to anyone? Ever bought a transmitter? Heck, ever bought ANYTHING except
rights to build facilities? From what I can tell, the answer to all of
these questions is no.

I have been in Guam, Puerto Rico and Samoa and have held high bids on
licenses for all of them I think including the North Mariana Islands.
I am well aware they are part of the US.
And yes I am sure we do have slavery within two miles of where I live
but not the official Republican sanction type they have in the North
Mariana Islands. Ours is more clandestined and individual in nature.
And I do like chile.
