My friends and I want to party on the beach on the 4th of July but we don't want to get arrested for it if there's some little known law about bringing BBQ grills or booze or something! Thanks all!

By wire taping and illegally monitoring phone? Why do you think the American people are letting him get away with this when The AMERICAN people didnt let Reagan do it? Do we not have the same values anymore or care for ourselves and country anymore?

Not being facetious, it's just something I'm curious what people will answer. I would assume this has to do with business connections, but aren't there similar connections with democrat parties as well? (as well as big names in Hollywood). So where does this come from, and is it a fair estimation of the republican party universally?

References/resources would be appreciated.

We already have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants here, that's 12 million criminals folks. If we consider one American supporter for every illegal, we're looking at 24 million criminals in this country, just violating this one single crime. What a pathetic state of mind this country is in. I live in a country of criminals and it hurts me to face it. Don't we already have enough criminals to deal with? I sure would like to see my tax dollars being spent on some good, honest, hard working, law abiding American people just trying to get by.

I'm not a racist, but I think affirmative action is ridiculous. Favoring minorities because of their race is institutionalized racism in my opinion. Primarily minority schools nationwide receive about half of the funding that primarily white schools do. Wouldn't it be better to fill that gap so that minorities will have an equal education and credentials needed to get a job on their own merit instead of getting "bonus points" on exams or interviews simply because of their race?

my husband got suspended form his job until his court day and will lose his job and if he is convicted of an assault four, domestic violence against me and therefore I lose income and my kids lose their insurance. He has his arraingment on the 11th and the D.A. sent me some papers asking different questions like how has this affected me and my family and what punishement do I think he should get and if I am willing to testify. (If he gets fired, he doesn't have much experience and I know he wouldn't be able to get a better job than he had and that will affect child support and the kids' insurance..he works for wal-mart distribution center. If it wasn't for that fact I wouldn't care but I can't afford the insurance at my job and I don't qualify for state assistance, supoosedly I make too much money). If I state those things and that I wouldn't be willing to testify would there be a chance the d.a. would drop the charges? he lives in Oregon.

This is in reference to a question I'd posed earlier - Why do so many individuals still cling to yesteryear's political paradigm that the republicans and democrats are two different parties with a real, principled difference of opinion as to how the country should be run? Isn't it obvious that the entire Liberal / Conservative idea is broken, and that at the top both sides of the "fence" are controlled, in tandem, from the top by the same companies and think-tanks (Such as the Bilderbergers)?
In response to my last question, HicHefHeidi blamed capitalism for everything wrong with our country. Read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith or any Ayn Rand. You'll learn that what's happening today with multinational consortiums of industry and government is NOT capitalism - it's totalitarianism. Communism was invented as an antithesis by capitalists to create a conflict - which only the New World Order can solve. D or R, it's 2 mgmt teams after the CEO position of slavery, Inc! INFOWARS.COM

Goody, goody for us. We are fighting fair and that makes us better people. We can sleep well tonight and feel good about ourselves because we fight fair even when the nasty terrorists are murdering our soldiers with no restrictions. God save our military from the Liberal fools of the world.

Scientists have confirmed that the sun is at the peak of it's solar flare cycle, which is sending tremendous amounts of ultrviolet rays to the Earth. It's so strong, in fact, that the Sun's magnetic poles have actually reversed. They've also determined that mars and Jupiter are experiencing global warming and at the same proportions.

Another thing they began saying a few months ago is that volcanoes spill out more Greenhouse gasses in one day of eruption than all of humanity does in 10 years. They say that if the greenhouse gasses were affecting the climate, we'd have never had an iceage.

They also say that while the Northpole icebergs are melting, Antarctica is freezing at the same rate. It's almost as if the Tropic rings are moving further north due to the activity of the sun. They did say that the Ozone layer has begun closing since we banned CFC's, but there's no evidence that it was BECAUSE we banned them.

Do you still believe that we could do anything? or is it politics

you talk to? The orginal charge that the DA is representing is theft by conversion. I believe we have grounds to pursue breach of contract and possibly malicious prosecution against the man who originally filed charges. If we want this all rolled into the same trial, do we go to another lawyer within the DA's office or stay away from them altogether?

We are told that the price of gas is so much because demand is up. The Chinese are purchasing more gas, the Indians are purchasing more gas. But no one ever says, the US Army is purchasing more gas. Hummers in the US get 9 MPG I am guess a fully armored Hummer gets 1 to 2 MPG (based on Hummer Limos).

I have been trying to figure out, just how much demand has increased, because of military operations.

I collect old math books, and I have several ranging from 50 to 200 years old. I would like to scan a few of them (none newer than roughly 75 years old) in their entirety and post the images online for people to use and look at. None of the books I want to scan are still in print, and I am fairly certain that all of the authors are deceased. I looked at the copyright office's website, and it said that books copyrighted before 1978 were not in the online database and required the services of the office (at a whopping $75 per hour or fraction of an hour for an informal search, plus an additional $80 per hour for certified results). Is there any law on the books that would spare me the expense of performing such a search (i.e., prove that the books are in the public domain)? Also, if you have experience with these searches, about how many titles do you expect they can find in one hour? I may as well get my money's worth if I have to pay them for a whole hour. Thanks in advance!

Why is it that alot of Katrina evacuees are unprepared with the eventual withdrawl of financial support 1 year after Hurricane Katrina? Its funny that now america is faced with the 'whoa is me' attitude once the money dries up. Especially once it was discoved alot of the FEMA debit card funds issued were used to buy jewelry, vacations and visits to 900 phone sex calls. And speaking of the FEMA debit cards...how could this government allow thousands of incarcerated inmates to claim funds as katrina survivors while they were incarcerated during the time of the storm??!! I hope the government along with the public learns a big lesson in the aftermath of this tragedy. How embarrassing it is to be an American now a days.
