No more state/federal taxation. Just a simple 12% of your earnings and thats it. Let our elected reps. wrangle for the individual states shares of the over all gov. take.

the theft wasn't a big amount so I received a police caution, it was my first offense. Last year in November I was wrongly arrested again, wasn''t charged but was fingerprinted. My question is when will my criminal record be clean?

Thanks

Do we leave Iraq right now or wait until it at least "looks" better?

“We’re on the offense against the terrorists on every battlefront,” Bush said last week, “and we’ll accept nothing less than complete victory.”

"When you define victory that way, when you treat one attack from a disorganized band of fanatics as a menace to civilization, you’ve doomed yourself to defeat and caused more damage than they could."

John Tierney, NYTimes op ed Sep 12 2006

A friend of mine works at a japanese restaurant as a server, he's been there approx. 1 1/2 years longer than the current owners have owned the place. A week or so ago my friend was working his shift, and he had two incidents involving a manager
1. The manager became irrate for an unknown reason and was throwing trays around and tossing and splattering trash all over him in the kitchen. This was witnessed by other workers. My friend did nothing, wiped the trash off himself and continued working.
2. Later that same night, my friend was racking glasses in the back, and the manager again became angry, started yelling and came over to him, and jacked him off the floor and started to hit him on his body.
My friend feared for his life because he was battered by his manager, the fact that there was glass, metal, knifes around. The owners did not fire/repremand the manager (btw, the manager has a record of prior workplace incidents like this one)
What type of lawyer does he need to seek?

Why is he still trying to scare the Americans into believing that what he is doing is the right thing? Claiming that they are trying to stop the war on terrorism. When will they realise that this is a impossible task. There will always be fanatics out there, maybe in groups or singularly who will want to get some sort of revenge. Why can't he just be more honest and tell the truth or not give false hope! Why do Americans not see what the rest of the world see's? And the worst thing is that the Americans fall for it everytime and he has people smart enough working for him to realise this!

The very definition of "liberalism" seems to lend itself to failures and vulnerability. Liberalism creates changes and those changes are never going to be correct on the first try. Therefore weak spots will present themselves in our policy and national security. Conservatism on the other hand tends to change slowly but our enemy is a quickly evolving one. Would we be better off with weak new liberal ideas that are unrefined or slowly changing yet reliable conservative policies?

I was wondering what are some of the pros/cons of the Airforce. I heard the pay wasnt the best because it is harder to move up rank.

Also I wanted to know about the placement test before you enter. Should I study a peticular subject? Review english, math and sciences?? What should I expect?
