Basically, I kind of got in a crash with my escort by fender benderinga work van at about 40 mph, and about a week afterwards my alternator belt got burned out and the car was unable to run. I looked at the engine and it seemed to have shifted over to the right, causeing one of the alternator pullies to be pushed up against my fender, making it unable to put the belt on around that pully. I do not know whta is wrong with my car, but I took it to a collision repair shop and they told me it was a $1000 dollar repair. Can anyone help as to explain what there is wrong with my vehicle and if this problem is selg fixable? thanks a lot.

My posts are "useless and bad"?

As Brother Happy pointed out, some of you believe my posts are, in his words, "useless and bad." I don't claim to be right about everything I say, think, or believe in. What I post is meant to get people to think, and if they agree with my views or not, if I have accomplished the "getting people to think" part, I feel I've done something useful.

What I'm wondering is, what is really the consensus here (or is there one?) regarding my posts?

Your thoughts are welcomed...here's you chance to totally rip me apart, so go for it!

How can (mindless NeoCon deity) George Bush...?

...justify asking the Congress for another 50 BILLION for another war of pointless deaths and tragedy in Iraq, while stubbornly veto-ing a financially modest bill that would provide the nations lower class and lower-middle class children with MUCH NEEDED health insurance ? And don't answer with that crap about "I pay for mine", or "the market should take care of it". That's nothing but denial and passing of the buck...

The market IS NOT taking care of it. Simple health care is financially out of reach of ALOT of HARD WORKING Americans.

What on Earth could possibly justify Bush's rationale ?

How do atoms get their electrons back when they lose them to make electricity?

If electricity is the movement of free electrons across a conductor. Does the conductor or element (such as copper) change since it's losing electrons? or does the atom create more electrons on it's own? I'm thinking that the electricity cycles in a loop which means that the electrons are constantly returning to it's original atom. But when you get arc's or when a power line is cut and the loop is severed, how do the atoms get their electrons back?

Should convicted drug dealers have to register like convicted sex offenders?

Daycares open everyday, our kids walk the streets to and from school, children play on playgrounds and in parks....and all this and more with convicted drug dealers right around the corner. I think they should have to register. So that we, as parents, and caregivers can know who lives in the neighborhoods our children play. Being solicited by a dealer trying to sell or give our innocent babies crystal meth that looks like pop rocks (you can google that!) is something that can be somewhat controlled...IF we knew where the convicted and probable relapsed offenders live...what do you think??

Does anyone else REALLY overeat on vacation?

Just finished a 5-day trip and although I am usually obsessive about my eating habits (ie, no excessive fat, about 1500 calories per day, high level of activity), I ate WHATEVER I wanted--and it really was excessive. I feel horrible about myself and am just curious... does anyone else exercise this TOTAL lack of control while on vacation?

two questions about voting?

The 2008 elections coming up will be my first time voting (since before I was not 18 years old). Anyway, I have a few quick question ...

1) Do I need to regester for a party? (even though I have not voted in the past) or would whatever party my parents belong to, be transferred over to me.

2) If I regestered as a republican to vote for Ron Paul, and he does not end up making it to the primaries, would I be able to change my party to democrat and vote?

Thanks in advanced.

Are there any organizations that aims to keep children away from possible alcoholism?

My ex-husband is an alcoholic and I'm scared that my son would turn into one also. So, I'm looking for organizations or societies that might us be informed about alcoholism. I don't want my son to be like his father. I want him to realize the consequences of abusing alcohol so that he would try to stay away from it. Please help me. I want to save my son.

What Hong Kong authority should do with 2000 citizens rang the personal emergency bells in past two days?

Hong Kong is notoriusly known as the most polluted city in this world. In the past two days the roadside pollution index is recorded as high 150 and 140 respectively. As many as close to 2,000 Hong Kong senior citizens rang their personal emergency bells for emergengcy and about one hundred needed hospitalization for treatment. Many of Hong Kong side and back streets are parked with different kinds of vehicles and many of them are in idling engines. The two fossil power generating stations in Hong Kong combined with the pollution blow from Pearl Delta of China making many citizens sick and died in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government keep on saying for years to improve the air quality and yet the publics find Hong Kong is getting more polluted each day.Just in the past two days many citizens were line up in the hospitals for emergency services and a few reported dead, too.
I think Hong Kong government must amend new laws to prohibit idling engines, over-heighted skyscrapers etc.
