My sister was killed in a car accident on 4th July weekend. I am trying to figure out the results of the investigation. It happened in Alabama (Wetumpka) AKA Small town USA...I'd like to know the toxicology results of the driver that killed her who did survive. I am afraid that the results will be jaded by small town politics and who knows who in the town. All ideas are welcome. What can I research online.

With the impending Federal Gov't Entitlement Crisis it is important that we make every effort to have healthy productive Senior Citizens. If nothing is done, dignified and humane treatment of senior citizens will bring forth an ethical issue far greater than the destruction of embryos. The Federal government should and is obligated to fund Stem Cell Reserach. Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Arthritus are dibilitating conditions that cut short otherwise healthy senior citizens.

Republicans account for 15% of registered voters and of that 40% are social conservatives. Does support for President' Bush's veto extend beyond the social conservatives or is this a case where a small but organized group of religious conservatives are imposing their beliefs on the rest of society.

Do we send people to prison to reform them, or to punish them? Which do you feel better benefits our society as a whole? Remember, criminal cases are a violation of the people's law, not just the victim, hence 'the people vs. ---"

when you look into the FAA's standard procedures regarding aircraft that deviate from their scheduled flight plan; NORAD; the US government's history of supporting and arming Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations (i.e. creating the taliban in the 80s to drive russia out of afghanistan, so the US could access the oil there); the footage of the towers collapsing exactly like any controlled demolition; the lack of plane wreckage at the pentagon; the fact that the same company that handled the wreckage from the oklahoma city bombing was contracted to remove the remains of the towers and bring them to an inaccessable location before they could be studied; and the fact that the SECOND plane flipped a u-turn and headed toward the towers where another plane had ALREADY hit the other tower for 40 minutes without NORAD or the FAA scrambling jets (as they do on a rutine basis with planes that go off course by even a couple of degrees)- how could anyone think that it wasn't an inside job?

What about the people who are already here? Does noone care about the children or people who are killed in the war that conservatives support?

I understand why killing is considered inhumane, but there's the reality of what to do with all those people. Who will house and feed all these children that you do not want aborted? Do conservatives support wefare? Take the children from poor mothers and give them to the rich to house and feed?

How can our president be against much needed stem cell research saying its murder and be part of and condone killing women and children? Isnt that hypocritical? Are human beings less of human beings if they are alive already?
I do not understand this way of thinking, do you? Please explain...

In Africa, women frequently experience genital mutiliation. The practice varies, but often the parts of the female genitals that provide pleasure are cut off (without anesthetic) and sewn back together so that the young woman is "pure" for her husband. This is clearly immortal. If so, is circumcision immoral? Keep in mind that the medical validity of circumcision is in question.

Roe V Wade is not going to be overturned any time soon, (if ever in my opinion) so wouldn't it be in the best interest of science and those that would benefit from it to allow embryonic stem cell research?

Embryos are not destroyed for the purpose of research rather destroyed embryos can be used for research. Is it hypocritical for those that are anti-abortion to take a different point of view of a present situation (legal abortion) and allow human life to benefit from it.

Can you be pro-life yet supportive of embryonic stem cell research?

In fact, E Olmert should go to the Hague. Hezbolla is not equal to all Lebanese, and look at the carnage. Why not go for the culprits, instead you destroy everything simply because you are the stronger dog? BULLIES, shame on you. Since the war started in Lebanon, people are even more convinced that Hitler should have been left alone to complete the job. Are the Jews surprised by such sentiments. Bombing even christian neighbourhoods 'cause they mistook a well-digging rig for a missile launcher. PARANOIA PAR EXCELLENCE.

why is it that when it comes to America no matter what we do everyone always pisses and moans about it. If we help someone America is EVIL! If America doesn't help anyone or do anything then America is EVIL!!
I wish you people would make up your minds!! You need to STOP blaming America for your problems!! America is not the cause of your problems so think before you start bashing America. IF you dont like America ,ooo ouch that really hurts. But If America is such an EVIL and oppresive country why does everyone want to live here?

Hypothetical situation.

The government decides tomorrow to grant citizenship to all of the illegals in the country. Hooray. These people are now granted all the benefits and priviledges for being citizens.

Being citizens, they are covered by wage laws and in many cases join unions, etc. They're no longer undocumented, so employers can't make up wages, pay them under the table, etc.

They've just lost the one thing that made them so attractive to employers in the first place.

The employers are losing money on the former illegals, so they hire a new crop of illegals to fill the positions and lay off the new citizens.

Now we have a large number of new, unemployed citizens from a poor, uneducated background with few marketable skills. They are forced to rely on government service just like they did as illegals.

But now we have a new crop of illegals pulling from the system as well. We're back to the drawing board with more mouths to feed.

What's the solution?

Seems we had a little "bashing" that we did not attend. This is a group that does not even know the words Robert's Rules

I said, "We were not there because we were not members of the committee. Those who are not members should not attend. It is advisable that officers are not appointed as members, to stimulate a more relaxed thus productive meeting." Correct?

Did you ever think if all this "brainpower" went towards helping everyone that no one would do without? There are some good suggestions on answers with a little revisions towards including every nation think of the possibilities. America has their Rebels and gangs,God knows they have enough drug problems without the help of other Nations.Welfare fraud is and always will be a way of life for Americans why because it's an easy way out. Foreigners learn through Americans remember we don't have the resources in our countries for "handouts".
