Mexican Bees

I was watching the Fox News Channel the other day and one of the anchors, in leading up to the next story, indicated that she was displeased with the fact that illegal Mexican immigrants can get hospital care paid for by the tax payers. So if you are working at a hospital and some illegal alien (or immigrant, whatever is politically correct now) comes in with an injury, are you supposed to turn him/her down?

"Hey, go back to your own country and get health care!" Doesn't that seem a little cold? It's not like billions of tax payer dollars aren't already wasted on a thousand other things less important than the health and welfare of a human being. What's a few more dollars?

That just goes to show you the shape of the U.S. health care system today, if there actually is a "system."

Rambling on further, I was reading a PETA web page and discovered that they actually have a page on the reasons why you should not use honey or other bee products. Those poor bees are kept in poor conditions and forced to produce honey and royal jelly for their capitalist keepers. How can anyone find it justifiable to spend even one ounce of creative energy to protect a relatively abundant insect, as beneficial as it may be, when these illegal Mexican immigrants are not faring much better than the bees?

I think there are a lot of other problems which have a much greater impact on the environment and humanity than bee working conditions. Or is it worker bee conditions? Maybe you could make the argument that each little group and each little cause forms a big net that protects all of the environment and humanity. But what about resources? We all have a fixed amount of resources, whether it's funds or time or life energy, to handle the multitude of problems facing the world. Do we really need to worry about the bees at perhaps the expense of some other more important issue?
