a question for the lawyers
What is the difference between "reckless homicide" and "manslaughter"?
I'm asking because. . . a woman who recently killed my neighbor by failing to stop for a red light and therefore shoving my neighbor's car into the busy intersection is being charged with reckless homicide. The woman charged was drunk at the time of the accident and is being held on $600,000 bond because, on top of everything else, she is an illegal immigrant from Poland.
Also - comments on immigration? Last night I was watching a program about the high risks and costs of the people smuggling business. People were dying on overcrowded sinking boats and desperately trying to repay exorbitant sums for their being smuggled, all in attempts to get to the U.S. Even if the U.S. relaxed its emigration laws, is there the chance that other countries will relax their rules? It was evident on the program that it is as big a problem to get out of their own countries as to get in to the U.S. Thoughts?

Hello Miss Bridget! My thoughts on immigration: What we need is a nation-wide force-field, like the deflector shields on the Starship Enterprise. Talk about the ultimate in isolationism! I think that Pat Buchanan is working on force-field technology now, thank goodness.
Obviously I am just kidding, if you all out there were thinking otherwise ;-)
