CAPTAIN CRUNCH has been a captain for like 40 YEARS, who else thinks he should be promoted to ADMIRAL?

CAPTAIN CRUNCH has been a captain for like 40 YEARS, who else thinks he should be promoted to ADMIRAL?
It just seems like he has put in decades of work defending our cereal ports, and bowls, but he still has the same rank. He at least deserves rear admiral, don't you think?

Is this figure correct 6 million "catch and return"?

I came across this little tid bit and was wondering if the number they state is even close to being truthful?? Anyone out there know the truth or is this just some propaganda spin?? Show me the link(s) that dispute it. Here it is.....

"Enhancing Immigration Enforcement

Since President Bush took office, millions of illegal aliens have been apprehended and returned, funding for interior enforcement has grown dramatically, and the policy of “catch and release” is being replaced with “catch and return.”

Getting Results: Since President Bush took office, agents have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering the country illegally – including more than 400,000 with criminal records. "

If it is spin, please post the link with the actual number ...ty

India, so big country, but no capacity to contain terrorism, what may be the reason?

India is such a big country second in the population. Terrorists, arrange bomb blasts, in several parts of the country, repeatedly in Mumbai, but, the Govt. is not taking any measures to find the culprits and punish them immediately. This lethargy is responsible for the repeated bomb blasts. When, a small country like Israel, UK, can put a stop to the terrorism, why India is lacking behind/

Isn't Universal Health Care, Education and Housing signs of a mature democracy?

I have always wondered how its possible a democracy as old as America doesn't have universal health care, universal free education and universal state house for all who need it. and not a minimum wage, but a living wage for those unskilled people in society.
Dont you think that these type of things are signs of a mature democracy? if so, why doesen't America have these things, and dont tell me about little programs going on here and there, I mean this is something that should be the very spearhead of American democracy as we enter the 21st century...or not? what do you think?
