Why is giving Illegal Mexicans a path to citizenship a big issue for us americans? I mean we can waste money by going to other countries to fight the war on terror and spend billions but we can't solve the problems of our own country? Instead we start making bullshit charts about the costs. HELLO! Do you want to work on farms picking crops?? I don't think so. Besides I know many mexicans. They are very hard working people and they also came here for a better life. Then we think of deportation. Some of these mexicans have been living here for 20+ years and joined the millitary. Think of it in their place. How would you feel if you had to leave the place where you lived in for 20 years and plus leave your friends and family out of the blue.

Of course we all can't give 1.5 billion dollars a year to charity, but does this generous contribution inspire you to give? If so to what charity and why?

For myself, visiting the Berlin Wall while Germany was divided, and looking at the armed guards at various posts along the wall gave me a sense of fear and insecurity. My childhood was filled with rhetoric about nuclear war, "US vs USSR", WW III, and the like. The fear of a post apocolyptic society as seen in "Mad Max" wasn't that far fetched.

Ten years later I would see the wall crumbling down and with it any lingering fear of riding the desert in a dune buggy looking for food disappeared. I regained hope in mankind, and I regained confidence in my belief that peace isn't the result of war.

What is one of your life changing experiences?

MY thought is it could be possible... If the group was to contact all of the major media (NBC, ABC, CNN, etc.). What could the Gov do? They can't shoot or arrest everyone especially if it’s being broadcasted live all over the country. If there was an incident, everyone who didn't believe would get involved and could cause more problems. It would be in the Gov's best interest to resolve this without looking like the bad guy. It will be 60 years on July 2nd 2007 and how much longer can they hold out??? I hope that if everyone who really wants to know the TRUTH should consider what can be done to expose the facts. The Gov needs to be reminded who keeps this country running. I mean, Area 51 was build with our tax money... and its growing! Time to change the world! What do you think? WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO??? If theres a secret agenda do you want to find out when its too late, or would you rather be prepared for the future? Something is up and we have a right to know!

A judge is being tried for misconduct on the bench during various trials, including rape and murder. Are all those trials considered mistrials, and is it constitutional to try the defendants again?

we all know that Bill Gates has nearly $90 billion in his checking/savings account. since he said he'd like to do some good to the world, i thought to myself: "If the current world's population came up to 6.5 billion, how much would each person in the world have as an equal share of his fortune?"

"The science is clear: Secondhand smoke is not a mere annoyance but a serious health hazard," said Richard Carmona.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/06/27/involuntary.smoking.ap/index.html

What do you think of this new warning from the Surgeon General - do you think it will lead to more smoke-free establishments and workplaces? How about parents who smoke around their children? And ultimlately, do you think this will hurt the tobacco industry?

She's a reactionary has-been who doesn't represent the majority of people. Why don't you get Anderson Cooper or Al Gore to ask a feature question?
