Resettling Rabbits

Wenatchee Valley is in the center of Washington State.
In the next couple of weeks the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society and the Chelan County Public Utility District plan to round up more than 300 rabbits on the grounds of the Rocky Reach Dam and send them packing.
The bunnies, which were let loose in the wild, have been living and breeding on the grassy knolls above the dam for more than 20 years.
Officials will move them to Rabbit Meadow, an animal sanctuary in Redmond where they won't be threatened by disease, predators, vehicles and cold.
The Public Utility District will pay more than $17,500 in veterinary bills.
The flood in Southeast Asia – in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka – has left millions of people in terrible straits.
Detroit, Michigan is a city not only in decline – it appears to be largely abandoned.
Tens of thousands of houses, apartments and factories stand empty.
Maybe some of those millions who have been thrown from their homes and who are suffering – those tired, those weary, those poor – could come to Detroit and help us build a brighter and better future.
The test is now in the face of this tragedy and others in the world. Is the United States a free nation or are we only allowing in illegal immigrants who have proven they are either clever or criminals like those in Miami?
For whom are millions of acres of land being held for? Descendants of DeLay, Bush, Schwarzenegger and Cheney – or Americans?
