After doing some research, I understand and respect some of the reasons why people hunt animals like deer, pheasants, moose, elk, rabbit etc. But what I can't understand is how people shoot the beautiful wolves in Alaska and other places. Isn't that causing wolves to become more threatened than they already are? And how they do it with a helicopter is unfair to the wolf, it has no chance. I'll appreciate some opinions.

he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: "I'm sorry I
cannot accept money from you. I'm doing a community service."The

barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and dozen
roses waiting at his door. A cop goes for a haircut and he also

CNN Lou Dobbs warns: "As of right now, there is little assurance your vote will count. As we've been reporting almost nightly on my broadcast for more than a year, electronic voting machines are placing our democracy at risk. 15 states have no mandate to protect your vote. Others have had many errors in the system, such as Bush receiving 3000 votes where there were six voters, and fraud not detected until after election.

Across the nation, eight out of every 10 voters will be casting their ballots this November on new electronic voting machines that were foisted on the nation under a new Law by Neocons (who own the machines). And these machines time and again have been proven vulnerable to tampering and error, and many with no voter-verified paper trail. There are four main manufacturers of electronic voting systems, none of which has been demonstrated to be more secure than the others, Dobbs asserts. Do you care?

Al Gore and Gary Hart would be an awesome team to (try to) lead this nation out of the unspeakable mess we're in.

On the GOP side, I'd like to see Senator Lindsey Graham (SC) and...??? And please don't suggest Senator McCain. He's so four-years-ago.

They talk a lot about basic human rights like equality and education for woman and we see the soldiers hand out education material. However, not one general or government official has ever uttered a word about freedom of religion.

President Hamid KARZAI is coming to Canada this week to talk. Will he have the moral will to put freedom of religion in a written constitution.

http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2001/index.cfm?docid=5533

Or will President Hamid KARZAI deny the 1000 korea christian missionaries that wanted to attend the 2006 Peace festival in Kabul.

Perhap the soldiers should hand out Bibles or Buddist, Sihk, or other religious scriptures to really test President Hamid KARZAI.

About ten years ago I was falsely accused of a very serious crime and was jailed awaiting trial. I had nothing whatsoever to do with the crime, it was total news to me, but I was in a position where I had to prove myself innocent. Fortunately for me, the case was "reluctantly" dismissed before it went to trial. I can tell you the entire experience was a nightmare, far worse than anything I could ever imagine.

While I was in jail my only hope was that the truth would set me free. But a few weeks into my nightmare I learned that the police "discovered" something that was just not possible. It was a bold face lie.

I was told by my public defender I must be mistaken because the police are to "professional" to plant evidence. Since no one really believed me I just pretty much just let the matter drop, happy I was out of jail.

I know it is old news, but still unresolved for me. Others may be wrongly found guilty because I did not speak up. What should I do?

I live in Tennessee. My father-in-law has lived in a duplex for a year and a half. The other side was empty until recently when an old drunk moved in. He started complaining about my father-in-law's dog barking, which none of the other neighbors ever do. My fater-in-law went around to all the other neighbors to make sure that this wasn't a problem with anyone else that he wasn't aware of. All the othe neighbors love his dog and said they feel safe becase they have had less thefts in the alleyway since he got his dog. The old drunk came over cussing about the dog and screaming and saying he was going to kill it in front of my children. Can he legally kill my dog, can we get in trouble for the dog barking, and can anything be done to him legally for his behavior? The dog is not mean and doesn't growl. He has bnever hurt anyone. He doesn't even look mean. He is just a very happy playful loving dog.

Many Christians insist that when children and other peope recite the pledge of allegiance that they say that the country is "Under God" or they do not say the pledge at all.

Obviously an Athiest who does not believe in God will have objections to herself or her child making a verbal pledge that their country is subservient to supernatural beings.

Most American athiests believe that the country is subservient to the people, like the constitution says.

Is this what the Christians want? Are they telling athiests and their children "your loyalty to the flag and the country is NOT WANTED, unless you pledge allegieance to God?"

I'm just wondering why the Christians want to sabotage the patriotism of certain children.

My gf and I (both consenting adults) are going on a vacation soon. For some reason, her father will not allow her to go. He says that if she does he will cut off college tuition payments (even though he had verbally agreed to pay her tuition costs). Is it allowed, because he has made previous payments in the past to blackmail her like this just because he does not want his daughter to go on vacation? Please help!
