The judge of the Probate Court in New Jersery stated that money would be placed in the Mercer County Surrogates's office until a completed Refunding and release form was submitted to that office by me. The judge also stated that two other assets due to me were outstanding, but otherwise the estate would be closed. I need to have closure in this matter. Please help me with this concern.

I have some ideas, but I could use some other opinions. Oh yea.... 45 dollars at most, please! Thanks everyone! :)

My school doesn't offer women's studies, and the atosphere is very... stiffling. My history professor jokes about women's rights and sexuality. I can't take this. Instead of constantly arguieng with people, accomplishing NOTHING, I would love to have conversations. I don't know why I pay these people for biased education. I would really appriciate input =)

‘An unimaginable loss of life’
By Bill Fletcher Jr.
-Guest Columnist-
Updated Sep 13, 2006, 11:18 am


Reconnecting the international struggles of Black people (FCN, 05-07-2006)
As the actual events and details surrounding the alleged terrorist plot to blow up commercial airliners unfold, the fear and foreboding that has lived within many of us since 9/11 resurfaced. Yet, in the initial announcement of the alleged plot, there was a reference by a British official that caught my attention. Describing the alleged plot, this official went on to say that the outcome of such bombings would be an “unimaginable loss of life.”
Let me be clear that, as far as I am concerned, any attack on non-combatants is criminal and should be condemned. Yet, in thinking about the comment by the British official, my first and continuing response was: Unimaginable to whom? The probable numbers of people who would have been killed might have gone as high as 15,000 (a very rough guess). In today’s world, 15,000 dead civilians is not an unimaginable figure unless, of course, one means 15,000 dead civilians from Western Europe, the United States or Canada.
I do not wish to be harsh or unsympathetic, but let’s count a few numbers and you tell me what conclusions you come to. Since 1997, approximately four million people have been killed as a result of the civil war (and foreign interventions) in the Congo. That comes down to approximately 444,000 per year or 37,000 per month or about 1,200 per day. I would call that figure unimaginable (even though it happened), or perhaps inconceivable in the sense that this Planet has permitted four million people to die with very little international attention.
Or a few miles to the north in the Sudan for over 20 years, more than two million people were killed in the north/south civil war that recently ended. In the Darfur region of the Sudan, over 400,000 people (not part of the two million) have died as a result of the fighting between rebels and government-backed militia, and this number starts around 2003.
Or, if we wish to be more modest, we can see the more than 1,000 Lebanese civilians killed as a result of Israel’s collective punishment of that country, a collective punishment that has specifically targeted civilians and civilian targets, this from an allegedly civilized nation.
Should I mention Iraq? More than 2,600 U.S. personnel dead and by most reports more than 100,000 Iraqis dead as a result of an illegal war (by the way, that is more than 30,000 dead per year or about 80 dead per day). This does not count the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died as a result of the U.S./British sanctions against pre-war Iraq.
So, I found myself wondering about this term “unimaginable loss of life.” The potential tragedy of a terrorist attack on civilian aircraft would deserve condemnation should even one person die as a result. But telling us about an unimaginable loss of life when the government of Britain, let alone the United States, has been prepared to sit back and watch, or participate, in the massive loss of life in countries of the global South is nothing short of disingenuous.
This highlights the issue of the relative importance or unimportance of the lives of different peoples. Four million dead in the Congo is absolutely unimaginable. It is difficult to even count to four million sitting in the same place. It is unimaginable that so many people could lose their lives and yet the Congo has to fight to get the attention of major news media in Western Europe, the United States and Canada. Short of a titillating incident or an obvious and gross atrocity, the loss of 1,200 people per day does not seem to merit our consideration.
Perhaps, I have a different imagination?

why do sex offenders have so many rights? And why can't there simply be a law in which the pedophiles are put to rest (executed) once it is a "fact" they have done what they are accused of doing? Our prisons would be less crowded, and our tax money could help people who actually deserve to be helped!
We put people in prison who "may" be guilty of fraud, or
who "might" have been involved in another lesser crime. It
doesn't make any sense that we turn around and "protect"
a pedophile as if he or she is special! Our government is
backward in it's laws and beliefs. Then they act "shocked
that a lot of potencially "good" people are breaking the law suddenly, or doing things they never did before? DUH!

An evil Atheist explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly finds himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon surveying the situation, he says quietly to himself "Oh God, I'm screwed!!!!!."

There is a ray of light from heaven and a voice booms out: "No, you are NOT screwed. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you."

So the explorer picks up the stone and proceeds to bash the living heck out of the chief.

As he stands above the lifeless body, breathing heavily and surrounded by 100 natives with a look of shock on their faces, Gods voice booms out again: "Okay ..... NOW you're screwed."
