Now that the democrats have a foot in the door, what do you think will happen with the war? I am a little worried.

With impending devolution, and all parties allegedly agreeing to work together so Northern Ireland can rule on its own local issues like Wales and Scotland, why is it that the proud, unquestioning, obedient fighting force of the Irish Guards - (recruited from BOTH Northern and Southern Ireland - who fought TOGETHER as one in many historical battles, including recent conflicts,) why can't they be retained in Northern Ireland in many of the military establishments due for closure in the Province?

We are seeing a gradual dismantlement of the Irish Guards - already down to 1 Btn - and the thought of the total disbandment of such a Battallion, (when there is still SO much good they can do in Northern Ireland - Homeland Security, Ceremonial duties plus provide an excellent role model for community integration ) would be an absolute disgrace to the lives given without question by former Irish Guards throughout thier long, impressive history.

They are the Provinces' asset. Protect assets

Yes, it is an either or scenario. Its not for debate, that captialist systems rapidly move technology forward based of free market competition. Whereas Socialist and Communist systems can only try to keep pace under a Stalinist regime (with the blood of millions) and even then, not come close to what free societies achieve.

Whats forgotten of course, is the ability of technology, in and of itself, to raise the standard of living for the poor. With great efficiency, comes cheaper means of providing the basics. Of course, to the narrow-minded leftists, its an either or proposition. Its better for all to live in a mudpit, than some living is great wealth while the rest live in an "unequal" level of modest comfort.

My wife is taking her ex husband to court for modification of child support. He called her today and said that if she takes him to court then he will take her to court for custody. My daughter (well actually my step daughter I should say) is 14 and I know in Georgia at the age of 14 the child has the right to decide who they wish to live with unless the parent is unfit. My wife is very upset because he told her he was going to sent some court documentation about an arrest she had in 2001, to her parents and everyone she knows if she didnt drop the case. In 2001 she had alot of medical problems and she worked at a doctors office and stole a prescription pad and wrote a prescription and filled if for Xanax, she served one year of probation. I have two questions, 1. Is what he telling her against any laws, I see it as a threat? 2. Would she have anything to worry about as far as custody? She only takes prescription drugs now and does not abuse them in anyway.

My inlaws live there & they can't understand it either. The money would come from the lottery, so nobody has to pay for it. If my state had that chance we'd have voted YES 100%

Is there a way (I'm getting too old to reply on my memory) to get a list of issues that a politician ran on so that a year from now it's possible to follow up and see how full of crap they were?

There are certain things I don't understand the debate about gay marriage.

To People who defend gay marriage: Why are stuck upon the word "marriage"? Isn't equal rights enough?

To people who oppose gay marriage: If you intention is to protect the institution of marriage, why are you opposed to giving gays equal rights?

This is my solution. Let's abandon the use of the term "marriage" by the government. As far as the state and law is concerned, the issues are legal and the term "domestic partnerships" or "unions" could be used for both homosexual and heterosexual marriages.

Each individual church/organization/group can have their own defnition of what marriage is, and of course others need not care about them at all.

What do you think?

The Republican Party had the Presidency and controlled the House and Senate for most of the last six years. In those years, they accomplished little and there were mutliple scandals. Their biggest foreign policy initiaative, the Iraq War, is a disaster. Record budget surpluses turned to record budget deficits. Our relationships with other countries are the worst I have ever seen them. Okay, the Democrats have admittedly not come up with good plans of their own, at least not yet. But shouldn't a party that had so much opportunity and failed be replaced so that someone else has a shot?
