I think this is the only way or medicine to save/ cure my country. If I have the right to sell my country, I will for it is getting worse everyday. Most of our or all of our politician were very corrupt, no aimed for goodness to the people and to the country, they always dreaming and aiming for money for their personal/ own good. Poor people became poorer and the rich(politicians/ businessmen) became richier for there is no good in here.

It might work instead of two major political candidates from each party. This way the husband and wife running our country can say, "All American citizens are our family, our children!" Its a lot better than saying their family owns a car collison repair shop where they say they meet thair customers by accident!

When I sift through Yahoo! Answers on the Barack Obama questions, many people say: "Oh, we're not ready for an African-American president." Why is ethnicity or gender such a big deal in the USA? Europe apparently has no problems with things like that. Britain had Margaret Thatcher as the prime minister, and Angela Merkel is the current chancellor of Germany. And South Africa elected Nelson Mandela as president.

OK, USA had a history of slavery and all of that, but WHY do some people say that America is not ready for a female president? WHY?

I was issued a speeding ticket on 9/26/06 for doing a few mph over the limit. Now I am new to California and was suprised to see that the amount you owe is not posted right on the ticket and you are acutally sent a notice of the amount you owe by mail. The two weeks that I was told came and went when I then noticed the ticket was missing my apt # but then again so does my drivers license. I then decided to call the court clerk to let them know of the problem and she said oh that it was not a problem and that the ticket was still valid and would be still valid but because of the apt# missing I should check online for the ticket status. Well I have been doing so daily for the last two weeks and the ticket was yet to be posted. Both the ticket number and my drivers license number pull up no citations. I called the clerk again and she said to simply just appear to court the day my ticket was due. So I am going to show up the 26th but i wanted to know does anyone has any idea whats going on

Imagine ... every single registered voter simply decides not to vote. At all. For any candidate. What do you think would happen?

I need specific details about it. Like, what is wrong? Less money and overpopulation? What else? What does our future look like if this keeps up? What are ways we can stop this?

Making planes crash into the WTC, demolishing WTC and building 7, and now, yes now, killing some soldiers in order to increase the casualties and justify the attack and mass murder of civilians?

He did a tv-spot for a (D) pro-stem cell research candidate and was crucified by Druggie Limbaugh for faking/acting his symptoms of parkinson's throughout the commercial. How sick is Druggie for making Fox out to be something other than one of the most kindhearted, well meaning, public figures whose efforts and research institutes have helped thousands of those afflicted by this horrid disease. This just goes to prove the point that no one is sacred. If you have an opposing point of view to the publickend party then you are fair game for controversy.

I think that Barak Obama is Muslim, from Iraq or Libya or Iran, and is Anti- American. I think that his election to the presidency of the United States will start us down the road to ruin, and that the end of our Country begins with his Presidential Run? What do you think?

It must have been some sort of "Liars to the American People" conference hosted by the liar in charge. The publickends must be getting desparate if they think the talking-heads are gonna save their seats in the House and Senate. Although, getting a bunch of morons together in one place to figure things out has been Bush's modus operendum. If you listen to any one of those idiots he invited to that meeting on a regular basis you need to get your head examined for they symbolize what is wrong with our media by and large. They do not allow opposing points of views to be shared on their programs. They will be broadcasting points of view over the next two weeks that are nothing but spin and rhetoric given to them by the White House 's head spinster Karl Rove. If Bush was looking for the pulse of America he would have invited some conservative, progressive, or even liberal talkers to join him in that meeting rather than the foremost B.S. artists of the publickend agenda!!!

I support our troops. They protect us in many ways and i value their sacrifice to end terrorism. But do you think this can lead to another disaster like "Vietnam War" where we gained nothing?

Do not u think it is time to shave down the arrogant, superior and commanding authority type personality and learn how to live with other people? It would be sad if most republicans missed the boat. I keep an open mind and try not to judge. I could be blind and not help but notice the arrogance--it is not becoming nor is it ethical.

There have beeen rumblings all along. And rising sectarian violence. Increased Iraqi civilian deaths. US troops caught in the crossfire. Day in and day out. No end in sight. But other of our troops waiting in the wings. And Washington calling for more. Four thousand Iraqi police killed since the US started "training" them. A psuedo-backup US-force for a rapidly decreasing Iraqi police presence.
.........And so I am beginning to believe that it will go just so far,meaning this shrewd and cunning game plan, and then the US will position itself, for a great takeover of the Iraqi government. That was the plan all along...We never intended to leave Iraq. And by allowing the violence to render the country of Iraq nearly helpless, legitimizes that the Iraqi police cannot take over effectively.
Nor its government.
Not now.
Not ten months or twelve months from now.
But will it backfire?
We shall see what transpires.

Pro-Lifers say "Abortion is murder", Pro-Choicers do not see it as murder. Homicide is the act of killing a human being. The Zygote, Embyro or Fetus is a living being with it's own unique Human DNA set. So to terminal the pregnancy is to removal of the Zygote, Embyro or Fetus, that is not likely to survive or the abortion procedure would terminate the human being-life of the Zygote, Embryro or Fetus.
For all intents and purposes abortion is indeed a homicide.
