How come as insane a person as Bush can be the Prez?
What is the fault with the people as a whole to elect him?
What should be done to avoid persons like him in future (may be a spelling contest)?

I swear, I always drive about five miles under the speed limit, my license and tags are fine, I don't drink or do drugs. But when I see a cop, I'm always afraid that he'll see *something* wrong and pull me over. Like, maybe I'm breaking a law I don't know about. So I'm tense and very careful until he leaves. Is this normal?

And take action if they fear they are becoming involved with extremists.

The facts are that NONE of this Bush family (George, Laura or the Twin Females--whatever their names are) has ever been shown in the news media holding, petting, playing with or in any other acceptable manner relating to a cat or a group of cats!

(The Clintons [Arugh!] at least had Socks as you may recall, even though he, like Buddy the dog, may also have only been window-dressing for that tribe of miscreats and is now dead, the result of an "accident" after no longer being needed for a "humanization" ploy for the public's "benefit".)

In any case--since not one of the Bushes currently associated with the White House is known to have any affection for cats, it can be assumed that there is a real possibility that one or more of them hates cats and may even mistreat cats when not in the public view!

FOR EXAMPLE, for all we know George may kick cats (AW!!)--whirl them around by their tails in the air (GASP!!)--or play mean mind-games with them (BOO!!)

SO, REMOVE W--YES OR NO??

Or is it absurd that we, as people, rely on such documents to keep our god-given rights from being "taken away" in the first place?

My 20 year old brother and his 19 year old wife, both are field medics in the US Army.

About 3 months ago, my brother called me and told me the they both had run away. Gone AWL. I asked him why and he told me because he was being sent to Iraq and didn't want to go and leave his wife behind.

I asked him where he was at, he wouldn't tell me...but I had a feeling he was in Colorado...where I currently live and where his wifes' family also lives. He gave the response saying he didn't want me to get involved or introuble.

About seven weeks ago, was the last time I heard from him. He said that they were going back to base in Texas. I told him to keep in touch and he agreed he would. Well, I haven't heard from either of them since...

I'm really worried. I was telling my mum that I wanted to either get intouch with the Red Cross or the authorities to file a missing persons, but she said not to.

What should I do? Should I wait it out?

I mean seriously, can you honestly say Bush's polices are actually his own?

You ever read one of his executive orders? The only part he had in any one of them was his little signature at the bottom.

Blame Bush? I say blame his underwriters!

Some facts
-Early american settlers did not have visas. They invaded the native american lands by force to get a better life.
-Undocumented workers (I don't consider them illegals because they migrated here like our founding fathers) do NOT take YOUR benefits. My mom's undocumented and she's been working at a minimum wage job for twenty years. She PAYS taxes and she supports my four brothers and me.
-Hell YEAH I support "illegal immigration". If it weren't for that I wouldn't be in COLLEGE right now. So thanks mom and dad for allowing me to be a citizen of the U.S
-Many children of undocumented workers are citizens. They will one day be able to change these crazy laws about immigration. They will not be picking produce like their parents but be the lawyers, politicians and future doctors of this country
-If my undocumented parents could send me to college then people need to stop complaining about us!
WHAT OTHER RACIST COMMENTS WILL YOU MAKE?

Am I the only one who feels we need a much better internal auditing agency to make sure crooks and sell-outs stay out of office for good?

An agency whose primary function is policing of our own officials? An entity to make damn sure that policies enforced are really in the public's interest and not simply to help boost corporate shares?

Maybe an Office of Logic might be a better title.

Personally I'd welcome the death penalty for certain offenders. I'd happily put the noose round the neck of Ian Brady, Ian Huntley or Roy Whiting. Their crimes were inexcusable and heinous. They don't deserve to live! They've ripped families apart and the suffering of the family runs far deeper than an act of revenge. Nothing can replace not only these people's children, but also their entire lives.
