Niamh asked:
I’m planning on going to Scotland this year around Xmas/Hogmanay time. Since it’s winter, it’s usually the off-season but with the holidays prices are still not as cheap as I thought they’d be. Does anyone have any recommendations for websites with deals or cheap flights? My dates are flexible.
Oh yeah, I live in Phoenix, AZ.

I always find it ironic when someone who fled their country of extreme poverty, then when they get here to the US, they criticize us. Its true if we expel all the illegals the price of our fruit will go up. But I think that is a lot cheaper than hiring an illegal for $10 an hour and having to pay for their seven kid’s education, having to pay for all of their health care, providing them with nice parks and community facilities which are non-existent in Mexico, having to provide them with cheap housing, having to provide them with food stamps, having to clean up the air because their car doesn’t pass the smog test.

Are all of these subsidies really worth the price of cheap fruit?
