the law shouldnt be as involved as it is on controversial moral issues and things that people do privately so that people have greater freedom and the law should only punish those who commit crimes...

This question was asked the other day

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhRE7_Adxf9Xcq7nl4biMmPsy6IX?qid=20060813230650AAbvGY6

and the blog was viewable that day...but I haven't been able to connect to it since.

Is it being blocked by our government or did it crash? Can you connect? Waht's up here?

According to a National Geographic poll, out of the 32 countries surveyed Turkey was the only one where people were more likely to reject evolution.
I find this both disturbing and hilarious.
Disturbing because America is supposed to be the leader of the free world yet much of it is stuck in the Dark Ages.
Hilarious because I'm not an American.

If the US government did stage 9/11 it killed 3,000 of it's own to gain a political and economic benifit - How can any American believe the 9/11 conspiracy theory and assume they are safe?

CIA charged with abuse Administration moves to ammend the war crimes act and protect them retro actively from criminal charges which means it will never surface in the media again.
No charges no media no one will ever know ever again

Camp in Cuba allegations of torture the camp is outside the jurisdiction of the US courts Administration argues that the camp should not apply to the standards of the Geneva convention.

Patriot act allows for wire taps without a judges signature - the administration can hold without charges anyone on a security ticket - No rights for suspects -

Isn't this all a lead up to facist America and didn't it all start then with the governments murder of 3,000 of it's own?

Is any American safe and if so for how long?

I lost my job and have become unable to make my payments to my dancestudio. I stopped taking classes, spoke to the owner, explained my situation....we've always had a casual, verbal way of working things out.
Out of the blue, I was served a Summons by a sheriff. Attached was a contract (with my FORGED signature) I never saw before...with changed numbers, percentage rates, etc. Also attached was a bookkeeping entry...which listed a payment I never made. I filed a dispute of the validity of the debt, and requested a copy of the actual contract I signed, together with a record of all payments made by me to date. That was almost 2 months ago. I haven't heard from my dancestudio, nor from his lawyer ever since.
The owner told me that "it doesn't matter if this is my real signature or not" and that "the real contract is somewhere."
What if he lost the contract? I know for a fact (out of experience) that his bookkeeping is totally random and chaotic. No contract, no claim?

A friend of mine thinks that George Bush does what he does in order to impress his father.
I don't know where I stand, as his father's reign was a bit before my time. My impression of him is not that he shares the same sentiments or practices as his son.
Anybody out there able to shed some light on this?
Was Bush senior as controversial as Bush junior?

Why did they leave their American made weapons behind and escaped? Why did the leadership in Israel seek our help to press the UN to impose a ceasefire so Israel can save face after murdering more than a thousand Lebanese civilians? How come they were so helpless in inflicting ANY damage on the Lebanese resistance? Is this why we send them 5 billion dollars a year in weapons and aid???
