im definitely looking for a nice big watermelon patch about where these projectiles landed!!! maybeRead More some extra credit if they can get more 'ammo' from that patch too. now, as for the last launch that resulted in damage, maybe the final math analysis can reveal which structural element failed first and why.

John Sheehan states the obvious that unless we are native born Indians we are all immigrant toRead More America. However what John misses is the point our forefathers came to America and followed a process of obtaining citizenship legally, and did not enter the country by illegally coming across the border under a fence, in the darkness of night. John applauds this action by Ms Ritter because it makes him feel better in case of a car accident ( insurance processing ...who knows ?). Well John I feel differently because it is a bigger issue than making car accident claims easier. It is an issue of following the law and becoming a citizen in the proper framework. I guess you think it is OK to sneak across the border illegally, and once in, having people such as Ms Ritter giving you undeserved special benefits, than waiting in a foreign country wanting to come to America, and applying for entrance into the country legally, and having to wait your turn for this privilege. There are great, responsible, worthy, law abiding people, in Europe, Africa, Russia, Japan, and other countries following the admittance process to come to this country---yet they are made to be complete fools when they should have sneaked in and be greeted by Ms Ritter with open arms, a welcome mat, free benefits, a driver's license, a free phone, and voting rights next week, while other law abiding people from around the world wait their turn to do it legally. What a petty example you give John that it helps the driving license process while forgetting to understand or respect that others enter the country, and become citizens, in legal compliance.

the key issue here is the LEGAL VS ILLEGAL aspect of these immigrants. sure, we're mostly allRead More immigrants, perhaps way back 4 or 5 generations ago, our parents/grand parents, great grand parents, except, those people went through the process, learned to spell, speak a common language and become integrated into the 1776 crowd. (remember them, the ones that spilt their very blood to overthrow the "Englise" Devils?) most people today, age 0 to 99 were actually born here, on US soil, thus LEGAL citizens by birth. these newcomers, fence jumpers, tunnel crawlers and sneaky SOB's are here ILLEGALLY. and these mooks like Ritter simply hand them a 'free pass' ??? Try to get a licence (or an ID) yourself without the proper 'papers', even as a LEGAL citizen, and see how far YOU get! This is a slap in the face to EVERY american who follows the rules. This is criminal activity being aided, abetted and fostered by yet another 'practicing criminal" No wonder these illegals look at people and smirk at us! Legals have become the fools, and illegals plainly acknowledge it! FDC149076598ABF11214305101290812804C7D5E3C31495C0

CT is a joke to the nation, and Nancy Ritter is what CT voters elected to represent them. She fitsRead More the example of Chris Dodd and other people elected to represent them, and in the process destroy their community, destroy our State and destroy our nation. CT could not have elected a more useless example of mediocrity and incompetence. Hopefully Ms Ritter will vote to give illegal aliens the right to vote and every free handout of this bankrupt nation including free food, free phone service, free medicine and hospital care, and free college education so these illegal aliens can send money back to their country to sneak more across the porous U.S. border to repeat the cycle of dependency and criminality of illegal alien occupation, instead of helping poor patriotic worthy law abiding, hard working, US citizens. What a disgrace !
