Hi my parents went to see this movie the Black Dalia. I wanted to go but they said it was R and inappropriate for me. Maybe they just wanted to be alone to make out (lol lol just kidding). I think its about a criminal in London England who went around attacking women at night in the fog. Anyway my dad is a police detective and my mom sometimes says hes too obscessed with his cases. The Black Dalia movie is about the London Scotland Yard and they were obscessed with this case. I kind of hope its true because my dad does some wierd things sometimes and I hope he isnt like losing it. Case in point, one night I was sleeping and having a bad dream (very unusual for me) and I woke up and went in my parents room (I was scared and wanted them to be close to me). My dad was putting on his police stuff and getting ready to leave. I asked him if he got called out and he said no but he was dreaming about a case and said he had to go to stop something. Anyway I went back to sleep, etc

In case this matters... I live in Maine.
I got pulled over on the turnpike the other day going 79 in a 65 and I got a ticket.. It's not that bad, and I don't care about the fine.. but I am NOT excited about losing my license for 30 days. My birthday is 4 months away and I'll be 18... I'm pissed! Now, I'm thinking I might contest the ticket and ask for it to be filed away, but if by any miraculous event it goes through and DOES get filed, and I happen to get pulled over in that alotted 2 year time frame, even though I would be at most 20 years old, would I still get my license taken away because this previous violation was committed while I was under 18? Please.. people who know what they're talking about, I'm trying to get in touch with my lawyer but I'm anxious. My car is my life. I'd have to find a ride to school and home every day, quit work for a month and not to mention not be able to go ANYWHERE! Some friends told me that theres no way court will let me go bcuz"theres no excuse"

One of the symptoms right wing inbred males seem to be suffering from is "why does he have a penis and I don't mommy?" Others include: "Will absolute power make it grow half an inch bigger?" and let's not forget "how much do I need to donate to a pro-Israeli lobby before little boys start to become attracted to me?"

any thoughts from all you enlightened ones out there?

Should Bush do the same for Foley?

My parents own approx 55 acres in Columbiana County. There is a driveway going up their property. A few years ago, there was an auction held to sell a piece of property above theirs - at this auction, an announcement was made stating that this piece of property was landlocked and had no legal means of entry onto this property. Someone purchased it and has been using the driveway on my parents property to get to this piece of land - not only that, they have bulldozed the driveway twice, knocking down a large tree clearly posted with a "No Trespassing" sign on it. He has put up other "No Trespassing" signs and these have been knocked down. My father has asked this person to stay off his property, but now this person is claiming that the driveway is a common law road. When my father tried to make a complaint with the local police department, he was given the run around and told it was a civil matter. When he met with the prosecuting attorneys office, they asked if he made a report.

It seems that most people are neither radical liberal socialists or conservative right wingers. It seems that most people lean to the left a little on one issue, but may lean to the right on another. (Bell Curve). So, why isn't there a third...more moderate party? Seems like it would be ultra successful. Why do we have to keep choosing the lesser of two evils?

On 29 September, 2006, the U.S. Senate approved a bill which would suspend habeas corpus for anyone determined to be an "unlawful enemy combatant engaged in hostilities or having supported hostilities against the United States" by a vote of 65-34.

This bill "removes important checks on the president by: failing to protect due process, eliminating habeas corpus for many detainees, undermining enforcement of the Geneva Conventions, and giving a "get out of jail free card" to officials who authorized or ordered illegal torture and abuse." According ACLU Legislative Counsel, "nothing could be less American than a government that can indefinitely hold people in secret torture cells, take away their protections against horrific and cruel abuse, put them on trial based on evidence that they cannot see, sentence them to death based on testimony literally beaten out of witnesses, and then slam shut the courthouse door for any habeas petition, but that’s exactly what Congress just approved."

Mexico once again shows us it has no shame and what a bunch of hypocrites they are over there.
By MARK STEVENSON
Associated Press Writer

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- President Vicente Fox's spokesman said Tuesday that an extended U.S. border fence was "useless and unworkable," and he predicted that the two countries would reach some form of immigration accord "sooner or later."

In a diplomatic note sent to the United States on Monday, Mexico harshly criticized a U.S. Senate vote authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the border. The project will cost an estimated $1.2 billion.

It must be signed into law by President Bush, and Mexico is lobbying him to veto it.

Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar said Mexico still wants comprehensive immigration reform that would allow more people to migrate to the United States legally.
Aguilar said the border fence would affect the environment and ecology, and even the reproduction of some species.

But he said Mexico had no plans to file the kind of environmental lawsuit that was used to temporarily block another big U.S. border project, the lining of the All-American Canal, just north of the U.S.-Mexico border. The irrigation canal delivers Colorado River water to farms in California's Imperial Valley.

A 23-mile section of the canal has leaked river water into a groundwater aquifer shared with Mexico for decades, and plaintiffs in the case claimed that farmers and wildlife south of the border now depend on the seepage.

U.S. authorities want to line the earthen structure with concrete to save water. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in August ordered work on the canal to stop while an appeal is heard in a lawsuit aimed at blocking the project.

"For the moment, a measure like the one used in the case of the All-American Canal is not being contemplated," Aguilar said.
