I have found that most people can not prioritze their lives and never come to grips with that One Thing that matters to them. This One Thing is the thing that all of their decisions should be based upon. Until you find that One Thing, many of us wander from relationship to relationship, heartache to heartache, birth to death. Many have found their One Thing. Have you?

An English Prime Minister soon to be jobless? Slightly shop soiled but still capable of lying and misleading. Very friendly with George W Bush. Offers please to 10 Downing St. London.

I recently recieved a notice from the NBC Universal regarding my downloading of the movie, 8 Mile. I own a copy of the movie but it has become too damaged (too many scratches) to continue use.

According to the Fair Use provision, I am able to make 1 backup copy of the dvd. My (mistaken) impression was that I would be able to download a copy of the movie and use it as my backup.

My question, if you missed it above, is "does downloading a copy of your own dvd fall under Fair use?"

Note: The downloaded copy was already removed and I've already complied with NBC's requests. Also sorry if this is miscategorized, I couldn't tell if it should go here or under Entertainment & Music - Movies.

Due to pressure to keep extra funds from federal monies, police need to show a positive step in the drug enforcement.
There are instances of bad cops, and a cop can profile you,and search, just because he believes you have something.
If you have nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to get you in trouble, would it be ok to request a search of the officer before they go in your privacy?
If they found something, after they refused to let a search of their person, could you push entrapment?
Can you press for violation of civil rights?

An evicted tenant came by to visit my residence about two after their eviction. I recieved a call from my landlord the very next day stating I will be evicted for communicating with an evicted tenant. Is this legal action or more along the lines of harrassment?

Cyrus Cylinder
Cyrus the Great of Persia completed his conquest of the Chaldaean empire of Babylonia in 538 BC. He treated his new subjects with enlightened tolerance and respect. This is recorded in cuneiform script on a clay cylinder from that time that is known as the Cyrus Cylinder. The original Cylinder is housed at the British Museum. A replica has a place of honor at the United Nations Building in New York City.
" I am Cyrus, king of the world, great king, mighty king, king of Babylon, king of the land of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four quarters ..."
Sovereignty resided in the person of the king. Cyrus's subjects were very fortunate that he was such an enlightened and benevolent king. In many other times and places people were not so lucky.
"... whose rule Bel and Nabu cherish, whose kingship they desire for their hearts' pleasures."
Cyrus claimed to have the approval of the Babylonian gods Bel (also known as Marduk) and his son Nabu. He did not try and impose his Persian god(s) on the Babylonians.
"Marduk, the great God, caused the big-hearted inhabitants of Babylon to...me. I sought daily to worship him."
Cyrus, the recent conqueror of Babylonia, honored and worshipped Marduk who as city god of Babylon was king of the gods of Babylonia.
"I did not allow any to terrorize the land of Sumer and Akkad. I kept in view the needs of Babylon and all its sanctuaries to promote their well being. The citizens of Babylon... I lifted their unbecoming yoke. Their dilapidated dwellings I restored. I put an end to their misfortunes."
Cyrus did not allow his army to plunder and loot the newly conquered country. He promoted the welfare of his new Babylonian subjects and supported their religious temples (sanctuaries).
"From ... to the cities of Ashur and Susa, Agade, Eshnuna, the cities of Zamban, Meurnu, Der, as far as the region of the land of Gutium, the holy cities beyond the Tigris whose sanctuaries had been in ruins over a long period, the Gods whose abode is in the midst of them. I returned to the places and housed them in lasting abodes ... The Gods of Sumer and Akkad whom Nabonidus had, to the anger of the Lord of the Gods, brought into Babylon, I at the bidding of Marduk, the great Lord, made to dwell in peace in their habitations, delightful abodes."
During their conquests the Babylonians had destroyed the temples of people whom they defeated and had brought the idols (gods) to Babylon. Cyrus restored these ruined temples and returned the idols to them.
"I gathered together all their inhabitants and restored to them their dwellings."
The Babylonians had enslaved many conquered peoples. Cyrus freed them, sent them home and helped them to rebuild. In 537 BC he allowed more than 40,000 Jews to leave Babylon and return to Palestine.

The question might seem vague. I mean, if everyone who ever lived was still alive (if the earth could accomodate such a thing), and they were present at the age which they felt they were at their most potent, and everyone in the world had to choose someone from the annals of history (and present) to lead this fledgling new world, who do you thing would win, or rather, who do you think should win????

They will cite an example that is in the clear minority but act as if it is the norm. For instance. When you mention rape as a reason for legalized abortion as if all of the women at the clinic have been raped. Or, as one respondent to a question of mine said, the fact that Kerry is rich refutes my argument that Republicans tend to be more successful in business. So John Kerry being rich, one example, refutes an entire argument of which party tends to be more successful? Or one extreme excuse for an abortion, rape, is used by liberals to justify the majority, irresponsible sexual behavior. I will continue to generalize so long as you do the opposite of generalize, whatever the word for it is.

Rush will be giving opinion commentary on CBS news with Katie Couric, Thursday. Some believe he's a propagandist, he admits he's not a journalist. Is this an appropriate segment for "the news"?

I was leaving a traffic light in my Charger R/T which has Traction Control and accelerated much faster than anyone else. Once I got to the speed limit I set the cruise. The officer pulled me over and I had no idea what I did wrong. He procedeed to tell me that he had to go 100 to catch up with me. I told him I set the cruise at the speed limit. Then he said that 'my tires broke' when I pulled off the light. It was wet and raining. Unfortunately I was driving under a suspended license, so I HAVE to get the stop thrown out. Any ideas?

Thanks
