Wouldn't it be the rich, the power, the corperations, the powers that be in our status quo situation? If so why are they trying to hard to sow the seeds of the loss of there holdings, influence and quality of life? They may be able to survive if it really gets bad but they'll lose all there power, wealth is only wealth if you have somewhere to spend it, and corperations won't be able to sell anything to the dead or dead broke. Why wouldn't they actually solve the problems perhaps by creating an independent enviromental restoration agency that really was empowered enough to restore the enviroment?? If the sea rises and every coastal city in the world is like katrina at once then everyone living there will swamp every other city and it will all collapse like a house of cards and we'll take the rest of the enviroment with us as we fall. Sounds very bad for business if you ask me. Why destroy the most beautiful place in the universe especially if you'll go down with it?

Marijuana/Cannabis is beneficial in many ways, a new study from UCLA states that it may increase brain activity. At worst it slows the brain cells temporarily, yet even under temporary paralys, the cells still regenerate to full capacity. Cannabis relieves tension, thus making very useful in treating pain, especially chronic pains, and relieves symptoms like stress, not to mention relieves pressure in the back of the eyes for Glaucoma patients. Marijuana gives AIDS patients an appetite.

There are no cases documented in the history of medicine of Cannabis/Marijuana having a fatal effect and the National Highway Safety Institute reports that marijuana users have the same or lower amount of accidents as the general non marijuana using population as a whole.

1) if they are secret prisons, who to say the innocent people will not be locked up forever.

2) Bush lied about the justification of the iraq war and the secret prisons, he must be impreached in 2008.

3) How will the rule of law be Uphold, if the bush and the republicans can disobey it again and again.

What do you think, Am I the last liberal live to fight bush?

Every liberal loves to point fingers. No liberal will ever accept responsibility for their actions (Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, the pyscho ex-congresswoman from Georgia.) Does this stem from their self percieved exhoneration from the rules and obligations of a responsible society?

In the Canary Islands and EU one of the illegal immigration problems is from Africans illegally immigrating to the west. Many die trying.

In response, Gambia took steps rather different from those Mexico is taking. "Reacting to the growing spate of young African emigrants attempting to reach the European citadel, through the Canary Islands, the Gambia Immigration Department, yesterday issued a press release, condemning the act as illegal.

According to the three-paragraph press release, the act is "dangerous" and has claimed the lives of numerous young Africans, who had attempted it.

As a result, the Immigration Department then warned the public that the security forces have been alerted, saying any person caught will be dealt with according to the law."

Why doesn't Mexico - and for that matter, why don't ALL countries - take this approach?

The British Government has seriously lost sight of it's purpose , they sit there bickering like school kids over marbles on every issue until the press decides what it wants and then they all jump on the band wagon claiming it was thier idea and hoping to look good .

Surely in the present political climate that all parties should be united in finding solutions to the countries catastrophic problems .

Here's my suggestion ;

All MP's should be given perhap's 6 months to come up with individual solution's to the countries most pressing problems i,e, terrorism , NHS , fuel shortages , etc .

each should then be asked to study all suggested solution's and and submit the one they believe most likely to succeed . the solution which returns the highest number then becomes the responsibility of all gov to make it work .

All we need then is a Prime Minister that commands respect from the whole world to fight our corner on an international scale .

Prince Charles would get my vote

As a British person I greatly admire the Constitution of the USA which says that the state and the church should always be separate. But what happens if, in a state of emergency, when normal government is suspended, the judges happen to believe in a marriage of church and state ? Should they be exposed ?

I believe this issue is a real danger to democracy. What do you think ?

p.s. The UK doesn't even have a real constitution so the USA can really teach us on this one.

From the Devos for mich govenor campaign:

The business model Alticor and Amway China use in China is unique to the Chinese market. Because of Chinese government regulations, Amway China is legally required to manufacture in China all the products it distributes in China.

So any products distributed in China must be made in China and they expect us to just import their stuff so they end up as the next world power? I say NOOOOO!

President Bush says the war on terrorism will continue for ever!
President admits CIA’s hidden agenda!
Many of the 9-11 accused are still to be tried in a court of law!
President seems to have lost for words, though not unusual for him, so he started quoting Osma Bin Laden and President repeatedly said ‘death to America’! (Slip of the tongue - repeatedly?)
The situation in Iraq and Afghanistan is getting worse, especially in Iraq.
Iran will not oblige America but continue with its nuclear program.
North Korea is on the verge of a nuclear test.
China and Russia vehemently oppose any sanctions or military action against Iran and North Korea.
Situation in the Middle East is as grave as before.
ARE WE PREPARING THE GROUND FOR A THIRD WORLD WAR WITH CONSEQUENCES FAR WORSE THAN THE SECOND WORLD WAR?

Governor Owens said, “Convicted illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers $25 million annually…Medicaid births for non-citizens cost taxpayers $30 million annually…1,615 applicants for IDs couldn’t produce legal documents showing they were not legal immigrants.”

What’s despicable? Illegal aliens’ children costing Colorado taxpayers $564.1 million annually. Last year 271 hit and run accidents occurred in Greeley, Colorado. Three Colorado citizens suffered death at the hands of illegal aliens drunks and shooters. Aurora Mayor Tauer said, “My city pays more than $5 million a year for police and fire services to illegal aliens...$20 million goes for education of illegal alien children…finally, $10 million pays for emergency room care for illegal aliens at two Aurora hospitals (small city near Denver).”

What are your thoughts on the legalization of Cannabis/Marijuana in CA, MA, NY, and PA.
Currently we are on the verge of legalization due to the fact that Cannabis is safer than alcohol and tobacco. All of our states our decriminalized, statistics and laws provided by NORML.

Please only answer if you are a northerner or a Californian, and list your state next to your answer.

It is my feeling the the governments not listening to the people anymore, we will get the same old spending on special intrest projects and not where it is needed .That inflation will continue to rise ahead of wages and that healthcare will remain on the burner with no progress towards a solution .
The mentaly ill will wonder the streets homeless victums to street savey criminals that deprive them of there government money .The little they may get is taken from them on the third of the month soon after they cash the check at habbebes check cashing service where a huge fee is taken from the mentaly ill .Some times 100 dollars to cash a 750 State treasury check .
We will still have wide spread fraud by businesses go unpunished , polution will continue among corporate poluters till it is out of control and tax payer money from the super fund used to clean up the mess with only small fines to companies that pay 35% returns on investments .If you make the poor clean it up with tax dollars.

live on the 2nd story of an apartment building above 2 80+ year olds. For the past year and a half, they have written several letters to me and the landlord saying me and my family are too loud as far as talking on my balcony, shutting the sliding glass doors too hard, etc. Now, they are having their daughter call the office daily to complain about us. Needless to say, my husband and I have a 4 year old and we are the only ones that live here. We do not have parties, we do not play loud music, we are just normal people. I have already filed for an injunction with the courts but it was denied as my neighbor would have had to physically threaten me. Soooooo....What legal rights do I have or what can I do?

Will the conservatives take credit? I'm just wondering, because they gave Reagan credit for Clinton's surplus, and they blamed Clinton for 9/11.
