How will affect your patronage to bars in your state that don't allow smoking. Do you agree that the government has the right to take away your personal freedom such as lighting up a smoke in a public place ? I wonder how Benjamin Franklin would answer that question.

This is in the context of the Reliable Replacement Weapon (RRW) debate and the international test ban treaty.

If not today, wouldn't the economics only get better? Perhaps it would make economic sense in 20 years?

We'd test the nukes in deep space, so the effects on Earth would be negligible.

Aside from cost (which I'm not sure of), the biggest issue would be safety -- what if it blew up on the launch pad or, even worse, veered off course and then blew up?

My thoughts: first, launch it from as remote a location as possible; second, design a highly reliable system that would not be armed until safely away from Earth (e.g. keep the sub-critical masses of fissile material well apart, with a physical barrier in between).

Is this a ridiculous idea?

I know that Rangers are Elite Infantry, I know that Green Berets are Special Forces (The Quiet Professionals) "De Oppresso Libre" and I know that Delta Force is an elite counter "whatever the situation is" force. What about the Virginia Farm Boys? I've heard of them when I went to SF selection, but can anyone elaborate on them?

I hardly hear from family or anybody. I'm in Iraq, a soldier in the Army, all by myself, depressed. My Army unit doesn't talk to me at all. I read my Bible a lot and pray several times a day. It keeps me strong. I still feel so lonely sometimes and it seems nobody cares. I'm always by myself, frankly because I don't fit in with most clicks or groups. I'm strong in spirit because of the grace of God. It's extremely tough to get through with life sometimes when you feel all alone at times. I know that with God I am never alone, but everyone needs friends though. How do I seem more friendly without having to change who I am to fit in?

True statesmen are rare. What we have now everywhere are two-bit politicians who do not have the interests of citizens in heart. Most of them are autocratic, corrupt and self-serving. They are the cause of all ills within nations and without. What we need now is a system of government run by citizens without the need for politicians. A government by the people, for the people and of the people -- minus the politicians. Surely, the technological advances we have today can be used to create such a system, if only we take the time to explore this seriously.

dear friends ,as i was browsing yahoo answers and viewing your questions and answers,i found you American seem to have a strong hatred towards China. it is the case that we are becoming richer ,stronger and have nuclear weapon and have communist party in power,but we have no intention,not to mention plan, of attacking any countries! on the contrary, we are learning english very hard, bringing in your way of thinking ,even lifestyles into China,we are trying to join the international community.Some historians say if the people from two countries believed there will be a war between the two countries,there will be !
the world is now in chaos ,politically ,economically,the human race can't even survive the next hundred years,as doctor stephen hawking asked. we need to work together to build a better global village! the earth is not your american's.every country has his right to choose different ways of developpment and to participate the global descion.contact me at roadqian@gmail.com

I have been taken back to child support court by my ex. I have filed a counter motion along with 4 other motions and one for a continuance requesting that my ex have to provide the court with absolute proof of his income(self-employed truck driver). The judge denied my request for a continuance and all he said was that I needed to provide him with discovery at the hearing next week. Does anyone know what this means and what is it that I should be doing? Is there a certain form I need to fill out, or what? I really need help with this and have no money to get an attorney or even ask questions of one. What is discovery? If anyone knows, I will be very grateful. Thanks for your help in this.

I am interested in changing my full legal name in order to protect my family from a very cold and callous ex-hubby who has threatened us on several occasions. There has been a restraining order, but the police do very little to uphold it and I live in fear on a daily basis, so I have decided to change our whole identity and move to another state.

I am a single mom of 3 small children with not a whole lot of money to spend. I hear name changes are very expensive, but I am very interested in learning the following:


*What steps and procedures are involved?
*How much will it cost me?
*How long does it take to complete the changes?
*What forms of ID are needed?
*Will I have to hire an attorney?
*How do I switch over my new name to my Social Security Card and will I need some form of court documentation for proof of the change?

Thanks to everyone in advance for your help. Your valuable time and support in this matter is extremely appreciative and I am deeply honored.

In light of North Korea's recent missle tests and threats why is it that China doesn't do more about it. Is it because North Korea is just a puppet state of their foreign policy. Seems so damn childish when dig brother can just squash you which China can or is it because of Taiwan?

The founding fathers never intended for religion to be a part of our goverment, the proof of that is everywhere!!!! From the first amendment, to the quotes of our founding fathers: James Madison said " The goverment of the United states is in no way founded on the christian religion, Thomas jefferson said "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that the act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ' make no laws respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' Thus building a wall of separation between church and state." , and their are many other examples but im running out of room.... And for those of you that still think that you can mix religion and goverment, Just what religion do you suggest we make our goverment?? Believe it or not not every american is Christian, What about the other religions, they have the right to whorship as they see fit and to make our Government one religion says others arent welcome.
