I've always received a free newsletter from a non-profit organization. The top right corner always says "nonprofit organization u.s. postage paid". I recently moved, and had not gotten around to telling the organization my new address.

However, Friday I received their newsletter WITHOUT the forwarding yellow sticker on the envelope. Instead there was a white sticker over my old address with my new address written on it,. It also looked like a black marker was used to place a dot next to the barcode beneath my old address which was covered.

How would this organization have obtained my new address without my telling them? Would the post office have done this, or is it possible someone at my old address received my mail and did this? I recently moved out of a condo, that was put up for sale by the owner, and I never gave the owner my new address because I didn't want her to have it. So I'd like to know if she may have done this. Can't see any other way. Thanks

Or has it been? I mean, that is illegal so the fact that he "got away with it" implies that he really didn't rig them and the Americans just voted for him, doesn't it? Wouldn't someone have taken action against him if he had fixed things?

We've got a new batch of puppets here pushing a far right agenda, making their typical claims, like: Muslims supported Hitler (although Germany invaded and occupied Muslim countries), Democrats are racist (biggest crock of crap claim yet), etc.

They make these claims hoping some people will accept this bs at face value. They make these claims because they know they don't have to offer any proof (of which there isn't any) to back them up. They know they can lie their asses off in a public forum without having to worry about getting sued for slander.

Example: Slyry75 claims Democrats voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, claims he knows because he's seen the voting records, claims they are the real racists. Of course he can't post a link to support his claims because they're fabricated.

You can't offer facts if they are non-existant.

I'm sorry that I don't have the source for this, but I believe that Halliburton was awarded a no-bid contract for their services in Iraq.

Why does the federal government allow no-bid contracts and should they be continued?

Is there any advantage to allowing a no-bid contract? If so, how does it help the American people by allowing a no-bid contract?

I'll give the ten points to the best answer which gives a valid reason why we should continue allowing no-bid contracts.

(For those who don't know what a no-bid contract is, I believe it is when the government a contract to an individual or group/company without considering competitive bids).

Serious question. If you live long enough to want to know, do you think you have this as a basic human right, even if you are never able to marry?

And if they do, is it not hypocritical for the usa to tell IRAN not to have them? I mean if I was IRAN, I would use the whole thing to 'throw it off'/'play it off'and work on "secret plans" ~ for the best nuclear power systems.... now ideally we would ALL as a world work together on something like this due to the potential dangers involved... I mean would it not be safer if all the brightest minds from all over could come together and "lay their cards on the table" so to speak. ~"nuclear", even the safest types may have drawbacks which may in the long run "undermine" the position. But in a short run man may choose to try something nuclear, sort of like with ethanol...to sort of "get a leg up" ...now man has to be very careful and understand the TRADE-OFF he he considering. SOLAR power, along with WIND are obviously major keys.. and I would like to see minds focussing in that neck of the woods, so to speak. There are other sources of "power/energy" that man may think of in the future

Do you find a growing trend in our country (America) of people INSISTING that their political and/or religious BELIEFS are in fact, FACT...and REFUSE to listen to opposing views, opinions, or DOCUMENTED FACT?

ANY suggestions on how we can get through to these people?

They are a strong public and voting force, yet not dealing at all with REALITY, and insist on believing that any alternative view is simply a lie. Our current political regime has perfected appealing to people's DARKER side to gain political power, using hate, intolerance, fear, and prejudice to gain acceptance of very un-American policies. America is being split in half, and directed down a very dark path, as a result.

Then that way there would be no more drafts or terminations towards deathrow inmates. And if they survive and come back they can earn there freedom again. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

Do you think the private sector would do a better job of educating kids than our current system of government run (public) education? Would it be accessible to all?

because of their crimes against humanity? Paying 12 cents an hr. and exploting children at young ages is not a crime against society? Why is it that their own people dont stand up and do something about it? Are they frightened or are is that just the way their culture is just to be told what to do and not complain?

As a teenage combatant in the VN war and having survived and returned home, I remember a presidents speech to the American people. During the last days of former president Johnson's administration, his speech about the Vietnam war included the words, "let us never again take America to war without the full backing of the American people".

Secretary Rumsfeld recently made comments about lessons NOT learned from WWII and how important it is not to repeat those "lessons" not learned from that popular war.

Did Rumsfeld forget about a more recent lesson NOT learned from Vietnam?

Perhaps the outspoken Republicans in support of their war should take up arms and fight their wars. Including Bush his daughters and the Rumsfelds!

Let them see the children suffering, crying, and dieing like I did and so vividly recall!

Let us not all become Bush's coerced "cannon fodder".

Stop the War!
