My additional detail is all the scientific evidence of global warming.

In addition to the question, I would like the Yahoo editors place this question on the ask! homepage.

This is a real question. Not some polyana junk a celeb would ask.

Judge lets paedophile go free and says: buy a bike to cheer up victim
Dominic Kennedy

Angry family's protests dismissed
Suspended prison term 'is best option'




A judge refused to jail a convicted paedophile for another offence and ordered him to pay his latest victim, a six-year-old girl, enough money to buy a new bicycle to cheer herself up.
Relatives reacted angrily as Judge Julian Hall imposed a suspended sentence on Eric Cole, 71, who had previously been imprisoned for abusing a 12-year-old child.
This British Court Judge should be removed from the bench.

What do you think of the prediction of a 70% chance there will be war in Iran by this summer? Can our military handle it? Can our economy survive it?

The mainstream news is reporting that Libby was told by Dick Cheney to leak Valerie Plame's name to the press to punish her husband Joe Wilson for telling the administration that Iraq did not have any nuclear weapons or prospects of making any. And the following night Bush said that Iraq had tried to obtain nuclear material from Africa in his national address! That is called KNOWINGLY MISLEADING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I just found out that "Of Mice and Men" nad "One flew over the cookoos nest" has been banned, and "Catcher and the Rye" is on the banning list. What is up with that? It is ok for the President of the United States to receive oral sex under his desk, and play with cigars.. and have that on national news, but it is not ok for classic wonderful literature to be read anymore... We are becoming a communism society. This is a bad thing.. banning books.. again.. isn't this what America is all about? They will ban literature, but not skin flicks. There is definitely something wrong here.. and getting worse every day..

Strange that this has happened when there are no migrating species about. Does anyone else suspect the Animal Rights terrorists or other political extremists might have had a hand in this? Bernard Mathews is the most prominent turkey farmer in the country (remember his Booti'ful ad campaign), turkey farming is probably the most intensive form of "agribusiness" and as such receives attention from the fluffybunny huggers and care in the community types who infest the Animal Rights movement. Of course these turkeys were due on our tables at Easter, so this would be an optimum time to sabotage the industry.

I for one never bought the Chinese Restaurant theory about the origins of Foot & Mouth. Strange that the original farmer effected had been through the courts for mistreatment of his pigs and had had problems with activists as well.

Then there all the other extremist groups who might see a chance to disrupt everything from the food supply to public health by infecting UK turkeys

I think its time to put away the guns and start some kind of political agenda for Peace, Lets rebuild the gaza strip its where the money is and lets use Steel for money in Iraq Lebanon and all the places that need reconstruction. Lets start making money instead of spending money on guns and bombs.

Hello i know for a fact that the government is hiding something regarding UFOs and aliens i do not know if i believe in aliens but i suppose there is something that the governemnt doesnt want the public to know. Heard about the Rosarito in Mexico UFO sighting incident?When the man that saw the UFO crashing he called the sherrif and witnesses have said they saw the 2 sherrifs taking 3 aliens one alive , but later the government wrote an article saying it was just peices of air balloons, now my question is do you think that it is POSSIBLE that the government is hiding something from the public using a large object known as a UFO?

Over 3100 of our military men and women have been killed in Iraq. Over 15,000 have returned without arms, legs, sight, and with severe brain damage. Why are these men and women fighting and losing their lives/limbs in Iraq--fighting the "war on terrorism"-- when terrorists could easily come into our country through our open borders--with chemical, nuclear, biological weapons/bombs?

Osama Bin Ladin called on Muslims to "obey God's command to kill the Americans and plunder their possessions . . . to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military" . . . .he and his sympathizers want to eliminate Western influence and restore their version of Islam to the world.

Will we wake up in time to realize that "peace on earth, goodwill to all men" is NOT what is being taught in your local Mosque.
