Can any one translate the following part of the constitution? I just need it reworded so it's easier for someone to understand:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Information from several websites including collegeboard.

Type of School:
Public
University
Four-year
Coed
Percent applicants admitted: 90%
Regionally Accredited
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

This confises me because I have asked several times what vet schools are easier to get intoand no one said Iowa State when the percentage of accepted people is 90%!

Is this really true? I want to apply to vet school when I am older, and this seems pretty much like a safe addmitance school for me!

in one of my classes we have been given the opportunity to run a simulated business. my company is doing well...its profitable, we have a strong product line, a credit rating of A, our stock increases yearly, we have acceptable leverage, and have been retaining earnings...but we have cash flow problems. could our cash flow issues be coming from the fact that we are investing too much into improving our plant? is it possible we are trying to do too much too fast? and that these improvements are being funded from stock sales instead of RE?

thanks alot...

i am reading this book called "the curious incident of the dog in the night" by mark haddon where the main character in the book,christopher,is an autistic 15 year old and on page 24 he starts talking about how seeing 4 RED cars in a row make it a good day and he goes on saying how there are black days when he is upset so i was wondering if autistic children or teens relate or determine emotions or feelings due to colors?

I am single mom with 16yr old son who graduates from hs next school year. He plans to go to college in the fall of 2009. I have no money to pay for his education. I barely make ends meet today. School counselor says that even though I'm broke, I'm still receiving income. No one understand that all $$ goes to bills etc. Father been absent since day 1 so no child support. My parents no longer file for income tax return because they're both retired and on social security. Would my son's chances increase to qualify for college grants if I say he lives with my parents? I would not claim him in my tax return to avoid possible problems. What do you think?

ok so I live in a very nice neighbohood of a big city and I go to a school with people who live in my community, so most of us people in school know each other like our familes do business together or whatever. So anyways, i've been slacking off in my Biology class because its sooo boring. I talk all the time and flirt with this boy and NEWS FLASH....my grade is a 52. So I decided to sit down and email my awful teacher. I wrote a really...like really good email it was like in the form of an essay tellin my teacher why I was failing, what I could do to raise my grade...blah blah blah..the problem is I dont act smart like in school im kinda popular, good looking, I wear designer clothes, I dont act like the smart bookworm that I am so he was shocked when he got my email. and the problem is in class he made me stay after school he was like "your email was soo good...who wrote it for you?" and I was like wtf??? and I thought he was joking but he seriously thinks my parents wrote it for me
