A guy answering a question about Canadian health benefits:

Just a side note, they (meaning Canada) also had one of the first socialized medical programs - worked really well for the first few years, now they are overloaded and people are dying because there is not enough money to pay the socialized healthcare to take care of so many people... literally people die in hallways - like the state or county hospitals in major U.S. cities...

I hear people griping about it but what are our other options? Also do YOU blame Reagan, Bush Sr, and Clinton for not addressing it sooner? ( assuming after the Iran hostage situation they knew about radical Islamic groups against the USA ) Did they know a war was the only solution and they didn't want to do it? If War is the only option against Terrorism why did it take us so long to begin the process, were other Presidents afraid to?

Here's a few things which she achieved :-

1. Ordinary people could buy their council houses.
2. Remember the "winter of discontent" - - she destroyed the Trade Unions- - no more beer and sanwiches at number 10.(Remember then that the Trade Unions were running the country at that time and before)
3. She was successful in the Falklands war.
4. She denationalised many bussinesses and put buying of share into the public domain allowing ordinary folk like you and I to become little capitalists.
5. She negotiated the rebate from the European Union.
6. She caused "old Labour" to become "New Labour".- her greatest achievement -- although that could be in doubt now.

This is to remember a few of her achievements.

...and I bet you ta pound to a pinch of **** that we shall get a lot of NERD answers. (NERDS are "no-brainers" !)

My question is :- What do you think ?

Cheap, undocumented, unregulated labor will destroy the unions.
Democrats rely heavily on campaign contributions from the same unions.

Pro-illegal is supportive of big business, Pro-union is against big business.

How can the democrats continue to maintain both positions?

Specifically on narrow freeway overpasses where they block the safety zone. I would get a ticket if I was parked there. Doesn't the constitution say the government can't break the law to enforce the law?

I plan on asking my boyfriend to move out. Financially and b/c of his past criminal hx he is unable to be self supporting.My boyfriend has been physically abusive once last summer, and continues to be emotionally abusive (I am sure he wil get this way when I tell him I don't want to be with him). I am scared of his reaction if I throw his stuff out or tell him to leave b/c he has refused to leave before. I do not want to involve the police b/c they can only ask him to leave we also have a child together which will complicate things even further if there is a restraing order. What is the best way to go about getting him to leave quickly with the least amount of drama (I have no men in my family for back up). What should or can I do?

THe new Pres elect Calderon said there would be no stop to the flow of illegal immigrants coming to the US. Who the Hell does he think he is? Does anyone doubt now that they want to take your lifestyle away from you. If this had been Iran we would be invading last week and Mexico City would be the target of massive bombig strikes But oh yeah, it's not an invasion hell no, what's 12 million or more citizens of another country crossing the borders in not an invasion? They are just coming to take your job your identity and treat you like you dont' belong and call you racist if you utter one word in protest. Oh and dont forget 1out of every 12 has a criminal background according to the Border Patrol.

Colorado DMV sets up check on phony papers
By Scripps McClatchy Western Service
September 6, 2006

Posted 12:30 p.m.
More than 1,700 illegal immigrants have been caught attempting to pass fake documents at Colorado driver's licenses offices in the first month after a tough immigration law went into effect, according to a state official.

"We're seeing evidence of individuals trying to slip through the cracks," said Michael Cooke, executive director of the Colorado Department of Revenue.

Colorado's new anti-illegal immigration laws passed by the legislature this summer set up a strict identification check meant to deny most public services to undocumented adult immigrants.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is on the front line of those checks.

As residents come into DMV offices to get state ID cards or driver's licenses, they're asked to present birth certificates and immigration papers such as passports and green cards to prove they are in the United States legally.

Those documents are then run through the federal SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlements) system to verify the applicant's legal immigration status.

In the past month, about 2,100 applicants at DMV were told their documents needed further investigation. Of those, 177 met with investigators and were cleared as legal residents of Colorado. But more than 1,700 cases are pending.

Cooke says DMV will never see those applicants again because they know their documents are phony.

"We're asking them to go to our investigative unit so we can look into the matter, and we're not hearing back from them," Cooke said.

The 1,700-plus names have been sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, she said.

So far, DMV offices have also caught about 150 people attempting to use fraudulent birth certificates, and that number is climbing. Most of the certificates were authentic, but the person presenting the document was not the individual named on the certificate, Cooke said.

New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division officials discovered a hole in the state's security system recently when a division contract office in Tijeras was found to have issued 100 or more licenses to people thought to be illegal immigrants.

Since February, vanloads of immigrants found an empathetic 23-year-old clerk who took documents obtained elsewhere - many from Kansas - and issued new licenses to the applicants.

Officials learned of the problem only after an electrician working nearby got suspicious of the heavy traffic into the MVD office.

An audit by Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department detectives and the MVD says the clerk issued drivers licenses to at least 100 undocumented immigrants.

Sheriff's detectives arrested four men, all from Guatemala, who told Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they needed the licenses to get work in Kansas, according to federal court documents.

They spent between $10 and $700 to buy Social Security cards and birth certificates from unknown people in Liberal, Kan., according to the court documents.

Bernalillo County sheriff's Detective Bill Webb said last week those vendors directed the men to travel to Tijeras and find the clerk.

The Tijeras clerk was put on administrative leave, and could be fired pending the outcome of an investigation by the MVD and the Sheriff's Department, said Tijeras Mayor Gloria Chavez.

She said the clerk had been a good employee, and was particularly valuable because she spoke Spanish.

"We never saw it coming at all," Chavez said.

Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Erin Kinnard Thompson said the investigation is not yet complete.

But already, state officials are talking about making it more difficult for immigrants to get state driver's licenses.

MVD Director Ken Ortiz said last week that he and state Taxation and Revenue Secretary Jan Goodwin discussed reviewing the requirements for the 39 contract offices, including stricter oversight of employees.

The Taxation and Revenue Department had already started auditing licenses issued to about 30,000 immigrants to see whether they had proper documentation.

Immigrants can get a driver's license using a single piece of identification. The Richardson administration is considering adopting new regulations that would require two pieces of identification.

Do you remember the episode of PBS's Nova describing logical evidence that the CiA was involved? they even said that the President's brain was removed from his skull before the body reached Bethesda. (While in Govrenment hands). This way, no one could positively prove how many bullets or the trajectory of the bullets.

Bush, Sr was high up in the CIA durng that period. I am sure this episode of Nova will never be shown again,

Do you remember outrage in the NY times when Oliver Stone was still making his movie on the assassination? What was that about??

Asking questions and recieveing non-sensical answers from some (not all Republicans and Bush backers, some I've come to learn simply voted for him so that he has a chance to fix what HE started in Iraq, i.e. a way for them to resolve why this placed thier loyalty to him in the first face). Anyways, if you've ever gotten a one sentence answer to your question and it came from a Bush supporter this is probably why:

"There are some people, and I'm one of them, that believe George Bush was placed where he is by the Lord," Tomanio said. "I don't care how he governs, I will support him. I'm a Republican through and through."

Now the question do you believe the majority of his supporters support him because of this position? It would explain alot.

Our relations with Pakistan of course. My in-laws could care less. This seems like a backwards step on the war against terror. We will still support Pakistan(we have no choice), but it has to be a shock to the current administration. This means that Osama has a safe haven for as long as he wants. We do have Saddam Hussein, however, who had nothing to do with 911.
