If the federal government writes a law which is unconstitutional, and someone does something unconstitutional which follows that law, is it their responsibility or strictly that of the government? Do people have to follow an unconstitutional law?

If a law gives the people a certain power (specifically power to patent an idea) but fails to make a provision preventing people from using this power in an unconstitutional manner, would people be responsible for this abuse of power, or is the law itself unconstitutional? Whose is the fault, the law which fails to uphold constitutional law, or the person/business which takes advantage of it? Or both?

The specific example is oil companies holding copyrights to alternative energy technology, but keeping it on the shelf and not allowing their use or development, even though the Constitution specifically allows the Congress to make laws providing patents/copyrights to promote the progress of useful arts and sciences.

If all the Arab nations, from Morocco to Pakistan would united and form ONE nation, just like the United States did, then it would become a super power, a major political actor, a major economic actor. They could stand tall and put USA and Israel back to their places.

I for one would say "NO" I would not be happy if Mr Bush died. Let's get rid of the Republicans the correct way. Vote them out of office and make them eat mud.

I would.

It is the best scenario for earth. A couple hundred million people die as a result, 1 to 2 billion is actually more ideal. This way, our ever exploding population gets put on a immediate break and the planet has a chance to heal itself.

Come on, Bush. Do your job and push that nuke button to start this war.

I am sure it is to defend their country and not to die in futile wars over oil and on the whim of a CHICKENHAWK leader who was too afraid to do his duty.

I've heard many times something like:
"If you don't support the president, you're don't love your country", or "you're not patriotic".
For exmaple: Is the president of Mouseland, Mouseland?

Steorn, an Irish company, has today claimed they have invented a technology that produces free, clean, and constant energy. Supposing they are right, what impact do you think this would have on our world?

We are losing common sense? Lawsuits for common sense mistakes on the Person sueing? Jailing kids for having sex (Like we didn't, or try at their age)?

In our local paper, we have 3 pages with sex offenders on it, and 2 and a half are 18yr olds that had 17yr old Girlfriends and mad parents.

Negative attention is better than no attention to many people.

Do you think that this is the reason for some of these ridiculous posts or do you believe that it's simply immaturity?

I mean like maybe we are the wrong ones for attacking Iraq? I was just thinking the other day that I doubt German troops thought they were wrong for following Hilter. Maybe we should all think about this.
