So many "questions" are painting pictures backwards and forgetting all the "reasons" for the war in the first place. Why is everything being looked at through hindsight as though we knew all that information all along?

Changing History is not a Spectator Sport! This is COUNTRY-WIDE!

The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

Like the flying sqaud commander says " its the beginning of the end for British policing.
When you join the police you do so to provide a service to the public, if you cannot perform those duties you LEAVE!!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Communications Commission kicks off the first of six planned public hearings Tuesday to discuss a number of broadcast ownership rules, including whether a single company should be able to own both a newspaper and a television station in the same market.

Clear Channel Communications Inc. (CCU), the nation's largest radio broadcaster with about 1,200 stations, is lobbying the FCC to increase the radio ownership limits in the largest markets, like Los Angeles.

The ownership rules exist because the broadcast airwaves are owned by the public and the law requires that the public interest be considered in how they are regulated. Too much control over the broadcast media in a market is deemed not in the public interest, though limits have been loosened over the years.

My younger brother and his wife are both Field Medics in the US Army. They went AWOL about 3 1/2 months ago, due to my brother not wanting his wife to get sent to Iraq.

Well, two days ago...my brother called me...he and his wife had both been arrested about 2 hours east of where I live, due to domestic violence. Guess they were having an argument and the cops got called. Anyways, I couldn't post bail, because they were also being held by the Army.

Well, my question is...what exactly is going to happen to them when they get taken back to base here in Colorado. My brother wants to be discharged, his wife...wants to stay in the military. They've been gone so long, they probably won't be able to stay in, plus the whole mistameaner charge.

Another thing, my brother isn't a US citizen...could he get a felony and get deported back to the UK???

Isn't that funny? If the guy is a dorky looking loser, and says something sexual against a girl, the girl will scream "sexual harassment", and his *** is fried. If he is attractive, then the girl will probably continue to flirt. Isn't that amazing?! So think about it. All those sexual harassment suits out there are PROBABLY against guys the girl isn't attracted to.

Anyone agree/disagree?

(of course i used the guy=perpetrator, girl=victim, because you hardly ever hear of the opposite!)

I guess this is just postering - but what if it isn't. What happends if North Korea really does make a nuclear test. The US/Nato is fully commited elsewhere. Do we do nothing? I would like to suggest that we give the PRC an UN mandate to annix NK on humanitain grounds - and I know China has a terrible human rights record but at least half the population isn't staving!

I have a mediation agreement. I have done everything that I said I would do in this "agreement" but the other side is not even trying to hold up to their end of the agreement. Do I have the right to write the judge a letter and let him know that the agreement is not being upheald. I do NOT have $$ for an attorney and I do not think the judge will allow me to be appointed another attorney. I fired the last one because she was not looking out for my interest as she was supoed to.
