I pressed charges agqainst my exhusband twice, pictures taken by police, I call them to check my house when he is around, I tell them where he is. He has a warrant, they wont pick him up. both times charges were dropped, wont tell me why, nothing I can do but live scared in my house, curtains closed, doors always locked, peeping through blinds at everysound, afraid to let my children play outside. And they wont do anything until I end up dead.......

America has had fueds of it's own since day one over culture and lifestyle conflicts. Color of your skin is the fastest way to assume your culture style in general. This is not always true and not to say one is better than the other, but most of the time applies. We are different, plain and simple and to go out of your way to blend as many races together as possible is self destructive as a nation. United we stand is strength, divided we fall. How is giving people that came here by the millions with totally different points of view, adverse culture(which they hold to firmly) going to be healthy for this country? These are people from a third world nation and their behavior conflicts with our ethics. The small percentage of American Latino's that have addapted to our culture are and will stand against this invasion from Mexico

The daughter of a Soldier Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest act's of patriotism I have ever seen. Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camo's, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school,

I was waiting for some food at a Restraunt the other day and I noticed a government advertisement (a.k.a my tax dollars) next to their cigarettes... "Cigarettes kill 1 out of every 2 long term smokers.".

If the government knows that smoking is so bad, why do they even allow the sale of tobacco in their country? I know a lot of people smoke (myself included), so banning tobacco would cause a pretty big uproar, I know. However, I pay taxes to what I would ASSUME is a responsible government. If my government didn't give me the opportunity to buy cigarettes by allowing their sale in my country, would I be a smoker right now?

I'm tired of seeing the price of cigarettes go up because of a new tax, only to see those tax dollars spent on advertisemtents telling us how bad smoking is. If smoking is so bad that they need to spend millions of dollars to tell us about it, and complain about how smokers drain government funds, don't let us but them in the first place...

Am I wrong?

Third one this week. Trying to convince people of hardship in Africa
i have recieved E-MAILS offering 10% of 2.5 Million US,with e-mail addresses, sounds nothing more than money laundering schemes
do these people think we are stupid.
They go along the lines of "plese forgive me for getting in touch with you but a relitive who was very wealthy has died with her family in an aeroplane incident, we would now like to transfer 2.5 million us dollars through your account, and give you 10% for your trouble's,and then they promise to defend you if a legal problem arrises. Who are they kidding, Just wondered if any of you had the same kind of e-mails ?.

It was composed as a welcome song for King George hailing him as the 'Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka' (the ruler of people's hearts and minds). Isn't it a shame to have such a song as a national anthem? Vande Mataram on the other hand is truely patriotic and evoked immense patriotism during our freedom struggle. Should it not be accepted as the national anthem?

Why is it that innocent parents, (at the hands of a gruesome system, namely juvenile dependency judges and cps social workers who get federal money for each child they steal), not allowed to a fair trial? Parents constitutional rights to a fair trial (which is non existent in juvenile dependency courts) are violated every Monday thru Friday in this country. What can we do about this problem? Innocent parents rights to be parents to their children are slaughtered in juvenile courts every day and it is akin to a death sentence for both the child and the parent. You youngsters out there who claim that CPS only goes after abusive parents are so incredibly uninformed. Are you young parents ready for the destruction of your family? What can we do about it?

Will they still work "cheap", or will they cost our economy by demanding the same pay as citizens? Will they still "do all those jobs" that we won't do not that they are now "we"? Now that they can vote and become reps of state, will they create new policy to open the southern border for complete domination of America? It's already happenning in the west, so why would this be called "xenophobia"? How many of these amnesty protesters are waiving Mexican flags with Aztlan agenda? These rallies are to attack Americans and to intimidate. Not the kind of neighbors I want. I'm sure these racist folks will embrace America and their culture if we give them amnesty and all the rights that come with citizenship. NOT!

Am I only one one who hears this phrase and wants to scream? I don't care where you fall in the political spectrum, this is the most blatant case of not getting the point in George Duh-bleyoos long list of topics where he didn't get the point. This is an extremely difficult subject, what to do in Iraq, and beating us over the head with a soundbite isn't going to solve the problem. So answer me this, what's a good soundbite for the President's position on iraq? I'm serious so lets keep the unnecessary rhetoric to a minimum.
