As a student you are interested in increasing the amount of federal financial aid to all college students. How would you hope to influence the actions of Congress and the Executive branch to change federal financial aid policy and funding? What are the various mechanisms by which you might make your views known? In other words, in what ways do citizens influence the political process? Which mechanism would be most effective? Why? What does your answer say about the ability of citizens to initiate change in America's democracy?

I recently got a speeding ticket by a local cop. He said I was doing 51 mph in a 35 mile zone. I know I wasn't going that fast. The road was very curvy and hilly. I didn't see him, but my husband did. When he told me there was a cop, I looked at my speedometer. I was going 40. This cop was using VASCAR, where he measures the time it takes to go between two white lines on the road. He was parked in a driveway between two parked cars. My husband saw the light sticking out above the one parked car. I believe there was no way that he could have clearly seen the lines on the road. I asked him to show me proof that I was speeding and he told me if I wanted proof, I would have to fight the ticket, which I did. In court, this officer swore under oath that we was pulled out far enough from the parked cars to see the lines. This is absolutely not the truth. He lied under oath. When I wanted my husband to testify. The district justice would not let him. I feel violated. HELP!!

My fiance and I went to Red Lobster for dinner. It was night because he called it a "date". We haven't done that in a while. Usually we just go to happy hour! It was cute.

I think this divorce thing is just a ploy to break up their assets so the kid in the coma cant collect what he could possibly go after. This way they split up the assets and they could only go after hulks dough because he served up the beer prior to the big crash.

Can you dissolve shellac in Everclear or similar strength food-grade spirits? I would prefer to use a non-toxic spirit than something like methylated spirits etc.

From what I can tell, there is nothing chemically special about methylated or other "denatured" alcohols. "Denatured" simply means that toxins have been added to regular alcohol to make it unsuitable for human concumption, thereby avoiding alcoholic beverage tax - essentially they poison regular alcohol so you can't drink it, and therefore it can be sold cheaper.

So, regular alcohol should dissolve the shellac fine ... albeit at a proper strength level. I tried with white rum (40%) with no luck ... Everclear is over 90%.

I am engaged to a guy and we argue a lot sometimes because I'm not the same person i was in the beginning of our relationship but he's going to school to finish and all and he met a girl there that he is starting to grow feelings for because she has some of the same interests as he does, the more they talk the more he starts to like her what do I do if I'm still in love with him like we used to be? He says that I don't make him happy anymore but yet he still insists on telling me that he loves me, how do I know whethor or not he really does and if he does what do I do try to make things between us better again?
