Can I ask you what she does stand for then? What she has meant, standing in that harbour to many generations of imagrants?



I think what she represents to many is subject to each individual's personal interpretation, but as a whole/blanket statement I believe its the idea of freedom and that you can come here and live the "American Dream" - whatever that "dream" is to you - getting political asylum; starting a new life; living in "the land of opportunity," etc. And even with the visa restrictions in place, people still can come this nation and make a good life for themselves and their families. My mom and paternal grandparents did it as many other immigrants still do it today. But I think your point (and correct me if I'm mistaken) is much broader than the issue of just the visas.


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
