Subpoena power. Point blank. Some very uncomfortable questions are going to start being asked UNDER OATH.

It was all about oversight, people. Nothing more and nothing less. The rubber stamp is gone.

I thought I understood all this, but now I'm confused. What is the difference between the senate, house, congress and representatives? What are their duties? How are they different? Please explain

Child Protective Services told me that children belong to the state and not to the parent. I have had an issue with the same Social worker and she's trying to nail me with anything she can think of. The last time this happened she had to be told by a supervisor to back off of me because she was adamnetly trying to get me on something--anything. I want to know what my rights are and what I can do to get this woman off my back. My son, who is 5 but has the mentality of a 2 year old said something to a teacher and the teacher called CPS.....this is the same child whom last week rode a mouse through the kitchen and then to the moon....so..you tell me if anything he says should be taken to heart. He said he was being hit and then when I asked him why he had said I was doing that he said he was telling the lady about what his friends were doing on the playground that day.While my 7 year old sat there tryng to say that he's never been hit by me or anyone else, the SW told him to be quiet.

The USA and its allies have tried, with limited success, to operate a crop substitution programme. But many of the farmers who have cooperated complain that they are much worse off than before. I imagine that it would cost far less for the USA and its allies to buy up the entire crop than all the money they spend in trying to suppress the opium trade and paying farmers to switch to other crops, even if they were to pay a premium (say, 25%) over the price currently offered by the middlemen. Then, if any is needed for legitimate medical use, it could be processed and bottled, and the rest could be destroyed.

Incidentally, does anyone have figures for the value of the opium trade to the Afghan economy and the current cost of suppressing the trade ?

a sergeant in the army fell in love with a soldier that they were training? Would they get kicked out of the army?
