Believe it or not, I didn't see cheap artichokes in Monterey. They're the same price here. The only way to get cheap prices is to go to a veggie stand somewhere by Moss Landing or something. The Ralph's artichokes were just as expensive as here.

I think the problem is when to start it and how. I think giving people a deadline to become citizens or else is an idea, but it seems brutal. I mean, deporting people by the truckloads is scary to me.
