How come the people still believe that melodic, hypnotic voice that spews the same message of duplicity and innuendo all of these years ? I know I am not alone, I understand the heads of our governments are puppets, I acknowledge there are advisers who prefer to remain invisable from the masses. I also know the golden rule, the man with the gold makes the rules and changes them when he chooses. I understand that the banking system is the gold, too many of our population are now in their pay. They can be stopped, simply. The CONductor awaits the orchestra, what would happen if the orchestra refused to play the CONductor's CONcerto .....?

Someone in my immediate family just endured the indignancy and horror of having an awake (UNCONSENTED) colonoscopy at AMC. While the procedure was begun without her consent, she cried out in pain repeatedly and begged for the physician to stop, which he did not. A nurse and patient care tech were involved with holding different parts of her body down to prevent her from flailing, etc. Upon describing the experience, after which the doctor left her without treating her pain with so much as a tylenol, she explained the incident as feeling like she'd been 'raped' - and we would like to take legal action. Immediately. The more high profile and scarier the lawyer, the better. Thanks.

Anyone care to take a guess as to why that is? If you guess right I'll do you one better and back it up with hard geographical evidence.

If we launched them back over the fence it would be faster than making them walk. 35 to 50 an hour, vs 2 to 6 an hour at INS, deportation doesn't work. Let's try launching a few families back as an example!

**Admitted sexual relations with a 17 yr old Congressial page**

U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds (D), the first openly gay person elected to Congress died Saturday October 14, 2006 , his husband , Dean Hara said. Hara married Studds shortly after gay marriage was legalized in Massachusetts in 2004,

In 1983, Studds acknowledged his homosexuality after the page revealed he'd had a relationship with Studds a decade earlier, when the page was 17.

Studds defended the relationship as a consensual relationship with a young adult.

In 1996, Congress named the 842-square-mile Gerry E. Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary after him in recognition of his work protecting the marine environment.

"His work on behalf of our fishing industry and the protection of our waters has guided the fishing industry into the future and ensured that generations to come will have the opportunity to love and learn from the sea," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said in a statement.

Honest homeless people struggle to survive while robbers and killers get air conditioning, heat, tv, decent food, exercise, a roof over their heads. Our legal system stinks. Jail should be a horrible place to go. Homeless people eat garbage, so should killers and robbers. Homeless people have no air conditioning in summer nor heat in the winter. Why should these sub-humans get what honest homeless people don't.

what is SO wrong with having a black president?? they are the exact same as you or i but darker. somehow we hate blacks yet we go to the tanning salon every week to get DARKER! how is that? your basically wanting to be like them, just not AS dark. so i ask...why are they hated so much? why must we be so prideful and selfish and conceited to hate someone just because of their SKIN COLOR! now, if they raped you or killed one of your family members...go ahead and hate them, i would too! but if they do nothing to you, why try to make their life miserable? its so immature and childish.

Why do only around 25% of the adult population of America vote in their presidential elections. I can only presume that the Democrats & Republicans dont represent the ordinary man or woman. If this is true then why have you not got an alternative party that represents the aspirations of ordinary people.

We in Britain started the Labour party over 90 years ago through our Trade unions and Socialist societies, We made great leaps forwards by doing, we created the National Health service and better working conditions health and eduction. The present leaders of the Labour party have moved to the right, and again the working class are looking for radical alternatives.

In the U.S I believe most people have become brain washed about Socialism. the rhetoric I here about what socialism stands for to the ordinary American is totally allien and false to what socialism really is. They always point to Russia or Cuba as socialist countries, but they are dictatorships.

Libelous cases are all over mass media -in radio programs, on the TV screens, in newspapers and magazine articles - but most often, nothing happened after libel cases have been filed or undergone preliminary hearings in court. Why?
