Studies have shown that the 'Red' states fall behind the 'Blue' states in education and income.

Should the rich states in the North pay more in taxes to distrubute their money to the South to help the poorer states become equal to them? More money will help the 'Red' states build better schools and give better tax incentives to get more higher paying job to the South.

This would be a good thing. Everyone would be equal to each other.

Or are the 'Blue' states just greedy?

Recent case I was a juror in...Person had guns he inherited from a deceased father..there was a law since he was a an ex con he couldn't own weapons for 10 yrs...not part of his original probation plan..seperate law.
He completed all his probation requirements, never got into any trouble for almost 10 years. He aquired the weapons 29 days prior to the end of the 10 yr law prohibiting him from weapons.
He didn't know there was such a law nor was he told of such a thing.
The DA claims he knew, the old court which the prior conviction took place destroyed all witten records after 7 yrs according to there record keeping policies. There was no way to verify if he knew of the law either in writing or verbally.
Some jurors saw that the letter of the law must be followed while others thought the DA didn't prove the case that the intent to flaunt the law was there.I voted to aquit because the DA did not have enough proof the suspect knew of the law & the intent wasn't there. Guilty or not?

However he is having problems with his levels when he first wakes us- I know about "the morning phenomenon". Does anyone have any suggestions how how to help this. It isn't as high as it used to be without meds but still it is high- it was 170 this morning. After dinner last night it was 120.

Check out my last question.
If believers claim that god is benevolent, why are all acts of god so malevolent?

I have a newer printer that's only got a usb connector. My slightly older wireless router has a print server and a parallel port. Ideally I'd like to have the printer available to any computer connecting to the network without having to use print sharing via a one computer that is always on.

I don't think this is possible though since I can't find a connector that goes from a male usb to a parallel port. They seem to go the other way around.

My mom said I can't be a vegetarian unless I am able to supply my body with high protein and iron. I know raisins is good for iron but it seems so sugary is that really good for you? And I eat peanut butter and jelly a lot for protein but she said peanuts raise cholestoral. Any bright ideas? ^_^

Hi, my first love contacted me yesterday through facebook after 7 years without hearing from her. Im married now and have been for the past 18 months, the marriage has gone pretty well so far but ive never had that smae feeling for her as i did my first love (childhood sweetheart of 4 years).

Question is what so i do?, do i keep contact with my first love in the hope that we could just be good friends or would this be dangerous?

Its really strange for me as some of the old feelings come crashing back when i think of her, should i keep contact with her or should i look for some kind of closure?

what do you guys think? do you still habour feelings for your first loves and if so is this natural so long after we stopped seeing each other?

Do whatever, just be creative and spiffy. Gosh I ove that word. Anyways! Youre pretty much going to make up a whole story as to why its blue. Kind of like a tall tale. Have fun!
Best of wishes,

So I knew about my old fashioned step-grandfather not liking it, but my mom said I would've been better off in public school and I told my dad and he said my grandmother said the same thing! Mostly I'm angry, resentful, defensive,... I'm a little upset though. Shouldn't they have talked this through earlier? I mean, I've had nightmares about going back to public school! I'll be 17 in January, by the way.

Admittedly, I am anti-social, but I havn't really had a chance to be social seeing as how I have no car and no job, and everybody my age are... Unagreeable. But I don't think that's any reason to rethink my education over the past 6 years!

I'll be starting college next fall probably, so I'll be too busy to think about all this and I just want to ask some objective people before breaching the subject once more with closer observers. Sooo.... Any thoughts internet people?

I see the term "false religion" slung around quite a bit on R&S, but have never seen a description as to what religion would be false, and what would not.

If even one person believes that a religion is truth, would that make it a valid belief?

Three days ago I noticed a triangular shaped gravid spot on my wagtail platy and moved her to another tank and gave her of my two small neon tetras to keep her company (I also think they are too small to eat her fry). She is a rather long platy, so her stomach isn't looking huge, but the gravid spot is very significant. The temperature in the tank is about 79. What kind of time frame can I expect for her to be giving birth, and also should I be feeding her more/less food, or doing anything differently?

Equation uses all the vowels in the English alphabet (a,e,i,o,u)and revolutionary uses all of them plus Y, which is sometimes considered a vowel.

Is there a word to describe such words and can you think of other common words that use them all?
