why cant the greens seem to find a spokesman who speaks from the heart.
in an age of bland characterless politicians with nothing much to choose between them, isnt it ethical integrity that people are crying out for?
isnt it time we had representitives who were concerned about the welfare of all living beings and had a global outlook instead of always looking at narrow economic advantage?
wouldnt it be good to follow a party or leader who made us feel good about being human, instead of feeling our leaders were colluding with bankers and industrialists to desecrate the planet on our behalf?

1 attack in London, 2 more attempted. We have every right to point the spot light at their little society.
We were not attacked by a diverse group of people but by MUSLIM males from Britain. We were attacked by an enemy who shares a common heritage. what's wrong with a fight back?

If another crosses the line and does use electronic devices to enter into your home and collect information about any thing at all it is illegal. If they use it to contact the people that you contact is that a crime. If they feel there is a need such as worst case scenario is it still a crime. If they do take and it is proven is it not home invasion with circumstances of robbery..Then to have the very people stalk you for only disruption and confuse issues about there invasion and or the need to cover a crime worst case murder. What if they gather information that there is a reward for the capture or the info leading to a solved crime is it right that they will collect or try to and if they did is that not grand larceny. The minimum amount on a federal is 10. 000 if that is correct then would not the people involved in this act be nothing but criminals. If the need is to paperstein you to prision no matter what l;aws they break or if they try to get a peice of paper a heart beat .

Seems that moderates and independents will be voting for democrats, on account of the war in Iraq. WIll we see some time lines laid out in the next couple of weeks? Will the democratic party win without having to build their party? Did the republicans miss their opportunity to garner these votes from the third parties? What will the republicans have to do to keep the presidency?

They have resumed whaling, and done so against the wishes the rest of the civilised world. Should all EU member countries and individual citizens show their displeasure at this move by stopping all trade and all travel to these rogue states?
I for one, choose to boycott ANYTHING from either of these two countries.

With the Democrats and Republicans continuing this fighting, back biting, slandering, playing one-up-manship, vengence it seems like a bitter national divorce fighting over custody of the general public: Two parties forgetting their responsibility toward us, forcing us to take sides against each other.

It is a lose, lose situation. If the Dems win we have to accept whatever they force on us and the same holds true for the Republicans.

They have pitted us against each other for their own advantage and we have blindly allowed it to happen. No matter what happens 50% of the population will be punished and coddled again right before the elections.

If this is not changed at the grass roots we will fail at all our endeavors.

Alas, we have driven all the true statesmans away.

Kinda like Humpty Dumpty.

A man has been repeatedly beating and abusing his wife of 15 years, whilst drunk and out of control, one day he pushes his wife too far, she flips, grabs a kitchen knife and stabs her husband 4 times out of rage, he dies almost instantly! What should be her punishment in a court of law? Thankyou! EC XX

In the Ohio governor's race, Ken Blackwell (R) is facing Strickland (D). Blackwell is the current Ohio Secretary of State and trailing Strickland by 20 points in the polls. Facing this possible defeat, Blackwell has found a technicality to have Strickland's name thrown off the ballot, which would leave Blackwell running unopposed. It would be up the the Ohio Secretary of State's office to make the final decision as to whether or not Strickland's name remains on the ballot. Blackwell claims there is no conflict of interest. Right!

The US is always saying how it wants to spread democracy to other parts of the world, especially when speaking about Iraq, North Korea, etc.. But does the US have a truly democractic system? After all, what it has now is a two party system which doesn't really represent every citizen's views. How can the US truly be the model for democracy that the founding fathers envisioned?
