in the work place what are our rights as far as in the circumstance of tornado warning and sightings less than a mile away from your possition, do you have the right to take cover in designated area or is it insubordination to leave your work area before your forman literally sights the actual tornado heading toward your facility?is it really a judgment call for some one else to make when your city and county sirens are being sounded and on national broadcasting is saying to take cover?

I asked a question earlier today about whether the Labour Party Conference could sack Blair (more answers please as I am not sure any yet understand party procedures well). The emerging consensus appears to be that it should be able to but can't, even though Party members would like to. But if any Party fails to represent its members why do they pay quite high membership fees to belong?

If they Party vanished surely its MPs and leaders would have to do something: at a General Election few voters would support a Party with no members.

I'm considering going to law school. I have been a paralegal for three years now and I just am not as satisfied as I think I could be. I'd like to do less of the b.s. work and actually be able to be challenged. Simply pushing paper all day is mind numbing. My college professors all said I should go to law school...I just wanted some experience before I made the commitment.

I just want to know...if you had it to do all over again...would you? Do you think your profession has negatively or positively impacted your marriage or personal life? I may just be traumatized because I've seen workloads destroy home lives. Any advice and words of wisdom?

Thanks!

I'm planning to migrate to the US legally. Do you know about a place (maybe your suburban neighborhood) to live in?

I'm taking my wife, Mom and Dad, and my 6 kids along. Which are some good bilingual schools for my kids?

I'd like a place with a big garage, since I'm planning to buy about 4 cars for the family, mainly SUV's.

Thanks for the hand, compadres!!!

The plan of both is larger government , higher taxes (when one goes down another goes up)states with income taxes are forced to increase them to cover budgets the fed reduced by lowering its tax so we still have the same level and size of government with no change in the plans for the future .Do you not see this or am i the only one to notice .
STATES with lottery's to fund education cut the state and fed funding to the amount of revenue raised in the lottery's. Then spent that money on other projects that increased overall spending .I wish i never picked up a paper or read a report on government spending .THEN i could say they represent the people .THEY represent them selves and have grown to large . WE need a plan that reduces the size of government by cutting employee's by 50% over ten years and reintroduce these people to the private sector .
GOVERNMENT workers have health dental pension and realitively good pay .THEY have become the working mans enemy taxing him to death .

Some intersections have a red arrow that prohibits left turns even if there is no oncoming traffic. Motorists must wait until the signal gets around to illuminating the left-turn arrow.

We want to have a peaceful world, and as the UN tries to solve the conflict in the Middle East, another problem is brewing about nuke enrichment. Will we ever have a peaceful world? or will United Nations ever unite?

Everyday on Yahoo are questions about G.W. Bush, and most answers speak of him in a very derogatory way, an imbecile, messing up America, poking his nose in many places it shouldn't be, impeach him, etc.
So what did he do that was good to get re-electd for a second term. (if it is his second term???)

I am sick of this "war on terror" phrase, we aren't fighting terror, if we were, how come there are still school bullies running around and they aren't in guantanamo bay? Aren't school bullies terrorists, don't they use terror tactics to create fear in other kids so they could do as they wish? What about people who steal from stores armed with a weapon, that's only a crime and not classified as terror, when indeed they are using terror to create fear to easily attain what they want.

thats just a scare tactic of the pros

but you know what? even if it was true, i wouldnt care. if it was too expensive to grow produce here, we would just import it. its called free market capitalism. so that argument doesnt wash with me.

With the exception of the Native Americans, couldn't we all be considered illegal immigrants? Nobody invited us over here, we just moved in and took over and almost destroyed a whole culture. Our country as it is now was founded on immigration, so why is everyone bitching and whining about it now?

The president always justifies what many (including, recently, the courts) consider to be questionable surveillance practices by saying that they are simply trying to avoid "another 9/11" or a ten-fold 9/11 or any number of similar phrases, involving the words "nucular weapons" and "mushroom clouds". Yet when asked if these methods are effective, their best examples are the arrests of environmental activists whose practices cause destruction of property but who insist that they take precautions to prevent damaging humans, and who have caused no injuries. These groups are classified by the government as terrorists and were used as an example of how their surveillance efforts are necessary and successful. No group which causes similar property damage to abortion clinics, however, has been classified by this administration as terrorist.

Should these extreme surveillance techniques be used on every terrorist organization, or only those who have taken or express the will to take lives?
