A friend talked to a Congressman and he agreed to write a letter to help get him in the Army. The Congressman wanted him to find out where he should send it but he doesn't know. Can you help?

From the beginning, the architects and authors of this junk, have been serving us a buffet of lies surrounding the religion of Islam and its history with the West. Not just out of government mouthpieces, but virtually the entire "fascist neo-con" talk show parade as well as almost every big-name Christian evangelist. Their message has been common and crude: The religion of Islam teaches hatred for all other faiths, most notably the Christian and Judaic.

Yet, they never point to history as proof of their own blind hatred greed and lust for Muslim blood, and the "fury" with which the the Christian West swept across the Mediterranean lands, forcing the conversion of Muslims to their filthy crass culture and pervert life stye at the point of a tank.

These laws passed in 2005 in the House and Senate, but I was unaware of them until now. Did you know that the Federal government provides money to each state (keep in mind, this money comes from us, the US taxpayers) to keep a database on every prescription that we have filled?


Each pharmacy in the state enters our name, address, date of birth, and the prescription we take into the state's database. Doesn't matter whether you pay cash for your Rx, or have insurance, or have Medicare or Medicade. If you get a prescription filled, it's in the database.

Then there are companies out there that search these databases looking for private health information about us that they then give to (for example) insurance companies when we apply for insurance.

Does anyone else think that this "invasion of privacy" has just gone too far? I never even read about this and I keep fairly well informed of current events. I think this is ridiculous and would appreciate hearing your comments.

So they can submit reports coated with a layer of white-out.
I think the report should stand immutable and any editing should be supplementary, and in the form of a separate addendum.

Is there any good reason for this practice?

are the american people so war weary that they will vote the democrats in. if they are tired of war now wait until the democrats get in and the war comes to our home soil.
i've never seen a more power hungry bunch than the democrats. they have done nothing but try and ruin america since bush got in. they did away with the wire tapping which bill clinton started, they don't want the patriot act or any thing else that keeps us safe. they want to cut and run, to let the terrorists to regroup. they got rid of liberman, who votes liberal 90 percent of the time, because he wanted to keep us safe.
i can go on but why, the concrete headed liberals will never listen. they hate bush and americans.

I've done quite a bit of research on this, but results are conflicting. It may be 1953, but my vague recollections seem to suggest that young men born after 1953 could still be drafted into the Vietnam War.

I posted this question here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgSp16UHihuFLWQuzggRlAnsy6IX?qid=20060830220823AALPbAr

and one of the replies I got was from Andy, a level 5 answerer and this is what he said:

"Look. We're at war. When you dissent from the President -- from your leader, your Great Leader, your Beloved and Respected Leader -- during war, you are committing TREASON.

Misakes, if indeed there are any in Iraq, which I sincerely doubt -- Bush has done something at least to acquire new reserves of oil for the USA over there; nobody else had any bright ideas on that -- are besides the point.

The real war is against immorality and Godlessness. George W. Bush is the personal representative of Jesus in America. Who else has taken a stand on the really important issues of the day, issues that concern your soul and mine, and those of 300 million Americans, legal and illegal: abortion, flag burning, school prayer, the pledge of allegiance, crime

After last call, an officer noticed a man leaving the bar so drunk that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car. He sat there for a few minutes, as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car. He flicked the blinkers on, then off a couple of times, honked the horn and switched on the lights. At last, the parking lot empty, he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer now started up the patrol car, put on the lights and pulled the man over and preformed a breath test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all! The officer said, "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the drunkard. "Tonight I'm the designated decoy."
Could you be charged for this?
