Is there anybody else who has the money or military power and will to enforce a desired outcome. Down the ages there have been conquerors who have rod roughshod over the world with their all consuming ambition. Would you choose a Genghis Khan or maybe some religious tyrant seeking to convert everyone at the point of a sword, maybe an Adolf Hitler or some ruthless Japanese general ? What about some crazy Middle Eastern tyrant, maybe like the Libyan Gaddhafi or a Saddam Hussain or how about the North Korean dictator. Is China or Russia preferable as a worlds Numero Uno super power ?

When faced with the choices, isn't the choice clear? Give me the ignorant blinkered Americans and that idotic clown Bush anyday.

We are actually getting worse, not better. Why is this still tolerated?

My husband has had full custody of his daughter for over a year, his ex signed over custody of her own will and said such to the judge. ie: she was not bribed, intimidated or coerced. His ex now says she WAS intimidated and coerced and changed her mind, says she made a mistake and wants full custody now. We have offered her additional visitation time and tried to work out a compromise but she says she ONLY will take full custody. She says that since we are having a baby of our own she wants her daughter back because she is lonely and miserable. My husband is a great man, and has been a fantastic father, she has nothing but unprovable lies to say about him. SInce there is nothing wrong about the current custody arrangements other than his ex keeps changing his mind, I don't think the judge will or should change anything. We have a great lawyer, but she has a lawyer that seems to not be bothered that she is constantly lying. Anyone have any input?

Are they, by using any and every excuse to raise prices, robbing the American public and weaking the US economy? And do they deserve the tax breaks and subsidies the GOP gave them?

I always thought that we were responding to a threat to innocent people or trying to enforce treaties that had been signed. Am I wrong or not?

If they just raised the sales tax, then illegals and off the book employees would have to pay thier share everytime they buy something. The rich would pay more taxes because they buy more. The poor would be tax exempt. Things would cost more, but we would take home more $. We would all come out ahead, except the people working off the books. It sounds so simple.

I work for a living. I work my tail off to make the money I have. If another man has the same job as I but is a lazy bastard and does one third as much work as I do you think he should receive the same pay, the same benenfits?

How can anyone under such circumstances defend solialism?

My Education Options counselor told me that because I don't see very well in my left eye that I am not eligible to go into Army ROTC...however, I have acquaintances who were blind in one eye who went into the Marines/Army/Police Academy. I have also heard there is a Federal Law that prohibits people from not hiring you just because you cannot see very well out of one eye. Does anyone know anything about this? I'd like to go into a field that doesn't require 2 eyes...I'm a linguist. I speak German, French and Greek and English. By the way, my right eye has perfect sight.

Email monitoring by anonymous Feds, "reporting abuses" to nameless Yahoo! gatekeepers, questions and answers disappearing or being cut short without dialogue of who or why or by whom, one-way access of public profiles personal info... we're on a slipperly slope people, no wonder we commoners are getting angry and suspicious of all these COVERT actions at so many levels both here and abroad.

Reports indicate that he's going to stay on for at least another year. Why do politicians always stay beyond their sell-by date? Do they simply not know when the public has had enough of them or is it all to do with ego?
I and millions of other people in the country, this once proud and great country now laid low by his mindless policies, want you out Blair. Go for God's sake and let us try to regain some dignity.

One of our resident paid puppets claims that Bush's caninet is 'almost half-minority.' So I did a little quick search and, as best as I can tell, the 'almost half-minority' seems to apply to minority stock holders.
