If I want to create art and use something created by others to make my art, how do I get the rights to use those materials? For example, if I want to use photographs taken by others, how can I get the right to use those photo so make my art and sell it?

This week, the Senate is planning to quietly hold a vote that would pardon President Bush for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping innocent Americans without warrants. According to Senator Leahy, the bill would "...immunize officials who have violated federal law by authorizing such illegal activities.

President Bush broke the law, and courts are starting to agree. Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter once said the program was illegal "on its face." But he has now caved to pressure from Vice President Cheney, and introduced legislation that marks a new low: the bill justifies everything the president did. Worse, it makes it legal to wiretap Americans, in secret, without warrants or oversight, whenever the administration wants to.

So far, Democrats and some Republicans are holding strong against the bill. If it passes we are in for a bumpy ride, ready for the final takeover?

US bases its culture around freedom as we were the first 'modern' nation to come up with the current democracy. However, have we put so much reliance on individual freedom that we ignore the responsibilities of the individual to help himself, his family, his community, the nation, and the world?

Freedom is not free.

Has the price of gasoline gone down more in places where there is a possible change of party for representation of those areas. Are there larger price drops where important seats are at stake????? Demand drop in all areas should be close if actually determined by demand, so why the wide differance in price reduction. Reduced twice as much in some areas as in others. Where I am reduction is minimal and not much chance of party change, they will stay repulican.

Would you consider the groups the former USSR, or groups the U.S. has "funded" to be better equipped? I guess, in a nutshell, who is carrying more weapons; groups carrying U.S. made M16's? Or, people carrying Russian and/or Chinese made AK's?

Why is Bush so wrong for wanting to strike back at people that daily talk of killing off all infidels, the Pope, wiping the Western way of life and United States off this planet? Do you really believe they understand dipolomacy the same way Democrats and Liberals think they will?

I was recently evicted from my apartment because I was one month behind on my rent. (Due to having a baby by emergency c section 2 weeks earlier then planned) My landlord is a prick and pretty much dosen't like me because I refused to pay an increase in my rent for water usage which was included in my lease as the landlords responsibilty. Anyways I moved out and went to court. The Landlords told the judge that I had moved out and left the place dirty and stole their washer and dryer, and left my old ones there. I did NOT steal theirs, I left their old junky ones there and took my own with me. I do not have recepits of them, because the washer was bought with a credit card and its been more then 4 years and the credit card company said they cant pull up that transaction from that long ago. And the dryer was purchased used from a yard sale. Do you have any tips on what I can do to win this case? And what will happen if I do loose? Thanks for any advice and help in advance!

9/11 happened on Dubya's watch, will he screw up again? Conservatives think so http://prisonplanet.com/articles/august2006/290806bushresponsible.htm

It can't happen on his watch again, I mean look at how smart he is http://www.cutepiggy.com/george_w_bush.html

And he's done a good job, just look at his approval ratings http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

People will blame Clinton because Bush is an idiot. Not that Reagan and Bush armed, trained, financed Bin Laden in the 80's. Oh no that's not it right Neo-Cons?

Maybe Bush ignoring the Predential Daily Brief which said on the front Bin Laden Determined To Attack U.S had something to do with it? No Clinton made him not read the brief right?

Clinton must have made Bush Ignore George Tenant and Richard Clarks warnings that Bin Laden was going to hit the U.S within 3 months (this was on 8/17/01).

When Bush ignores more warnings and we're hit, will Neo-Cons try to blame this one on Clinton?

They are businessmen, they're good at making deals, they have connections all over the world. They would not run our country with bloodshed like the old days. They'll get the job done and keep America as the world leader in power. They would bodly go where no politicians have gone before! Question is, which mafia member be President and VP? What do you think based on what the mafia is today and the problems and conditions our country is in now?
