There is a "T" intersection here where a huge tree sits on the left corner and blocks view of oncoming traffic. Even if you slowly crawl out your car will be in the way of cars coming at 60mph.

I've had numerous close calls, both as the one coming out and when others came out unexpectedly. A relative wasn't so lucky.

The tree is on private property (100 acres of desert land, no homes or fences) so how do I go about requesting that it be removed? I do not know who owns it. Can I put in a request to the city instead?

Everyday more tortured Iraqi bodies are found..

A pair of suicide bombs ripped through a crowd of would-be police recruits in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 35, and authorities found 75 bodies in the capital and Baqouba, an unusually high number even by Iraq's grim standards.

How many tortured dead bodies will make the
Republicans happy with their war?

Just wondering if you would support the idea of a calendar that features such hot Republican babes like Ann Coulter, Barbara Bush, Kathleen Harris, The Bush Twins, Merrie Spaeth, for example if it featured them in "tastefully nude" poses and it raised money for causes near to the heart of the G.O.P. and Liberty University?

My 72 year old father did not vote this last mid term election. He always voted in the past and stressed that everyone should always vote. This time he watched the television and all he heard was this guy is a liar, this guy is a theif, this guy is stupid, this guy is an idiot. So he did not vote. He said," Why should I lower my integrity and vote for an idiot." I think he has a point. If we elect a person that has been vilified by the press, and has lost all of his respect in our country,which are all of the candidates,how can other countries respect us?

Is it true that Mexico has billions of golden nuggets in their swamps and lakes? Do you think that the U.S. should trade California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas for Mexico. Think of all the gold!!! Or should we let all the illegals from Mexico be citizens and the U.S. can get the gold in Mexico?

Assume you are a member of Congress and now must cast the deciding vote on a very controversial issue. If you knew that your personal position was contrary to that held by the majority of the people in your district, would you vote in accord with your beliefs or their interests?

if iraq was to have a referendom with the simple question do you want the coalition troops to stay or go, surely this would get everyone out of a tricky situation if the answer was stay it could be said we are here because the majority of people want us here and if they said go they could leave because thats what the people want and they must take the consequences

I just submitted a question, "Have you ever had sex with someone who was underage?" The question never showed up. I think Yahoo's filters are catching stuff like that.

Anyway, I was just wondering if some of these predators might be stupid enough to come on here and brag about it. That was my point in posting the question in the first place. Now, I'm wondering if my name is going to show up on some list of perverts Yahoo turns over to the police.

I can just see it now. While I'm being interrogated, the detective says, "Let me see if I've got this right. You weren't actually looking for kids. You were just doing your own investigation. That's the best one I've heard in a long time."
