Politics & Government - 12 November 2006

I'm writing a speech, and I need some statistics about drug and drug use. Some statistics I need are:

-Amount of federal and state tax dollars spent in 2005 for the "War on drugs," and the average amount spent per year since 2000

-Number of people who are incarcerated in the prison systems each year for drug offenses

-Statistical change in the number of known drug users over the last 10 or 20 years

-Number of drug-related crimes committed in Canada

Thank you all in advance.

I just bought a house and found out that a lot of neighborhood kids come on the property. I'm ok with that, but my husband thinks if someone gets hurt, that we'll be liable for their injuries. Does anyone know how that would work? Would we be responsible if they came on to the property without our consent?

Forgetting about Dubya Bush, I wish we could, for a second, does anyone really think the democrats will do a better job of running congress?

They're just as power hungry and money thirsty as the republicans.

I'm doing an extra credit worksheet, and it's tricky... one of the questions is "Find the number of years the Constituion has actually been in use." I know when the Constitution was ratified, but it sounds like it's a trick question so I can't be sure. >_<' Anybody know the answer to it?

I just watched him speak on a local (NYC) tv broadcast. I'm a Democrat and I loved what he (a Republican) had to say. He has tons of experience to draw upon. Would you vote for him? Would the country?

Then why are the Dems (Joe Biden) saying there is no way he'll get the appointment. Is this just political payback by the Dems ??

I mean why do they escort oil trucks, rigs and protect refineries that private companies make money out of and then we subsidize these companies with tax money too (and then they locate their HQs in bahamas or somewwhere)

I have a 1 year rooming aggrement with an older woman. I have paid my rent and all utilities ontime. Suddenly she is giving me a 30 day notice to leave because the situation is not "sufficient" for her. The lease that SHE drew up and that BOTH of us signed and I had notorized says that AFTER the first year with a 60 day's advance notice either party can void the aggreement. She is insisting that I have to leave. Can she do this?

Seems that many are agenda driven, and openly hostile. I've seen this during many administrations. Can't they be banned ??

You can still hurt someone right? I saw on mythbusters that when they held up a gun with blanks in it to a manican and shot it, it blew the head to bits.

I'm playing "war games" and learning stuff from the SP's tomorrow and we're using M16's with blanks and the little red things at the tip of the gun, but I still think it's dangerous. Am I just paranoid?

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!! It
explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country
protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the
issue of
illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might
protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this
country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I
correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you
discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say,
"I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the
laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things
you don't like to do. I'm hardworking and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay,
you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my
kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my
husband will do your yard work because he too is hardworking
and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to
call
the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will
picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be
there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I
do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hardworking and
honest, um, except for well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing
only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you
can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice
and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to
learn my language so you can communicate with me
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in
America....if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it as a good simile. If
not blow it off along with your futur.

- Higher Taxes for anyone middle class and above to pay for more social welfare programs

- Equal Rights for all (Except White men and Unborn children)
Anything I missed??
