anybody can look up their own house online on googlemaps.com and get a picture of their house taken by the satelite within the past week, then why couldn't we use that same technology to pinpoint where these terrorists are in Iraq and just bomb those particular locations rather than having ground troops their and having American soldiers and innocant civilians killed?

The draft is going to be introduced to congress tomorrow. We already have the back door draft, but the new draft is going to grab all the kids. When so many Americans even wonder why this war is happening, what is with this new draft? Also. 2 more countries plan to be invaded????

Congressman Rangel Will Seek to Reinstate Draft
By JOHN HEILPRIN, AP

WASHINGTON (Nov. 19) - Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year.

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars.

"There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way," Rangel said.

Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, has said the all-volunteer military disproportionately puts the burden of war on minorities and lower-income families.

Your thoughts...

Why do they subject other countries to military occupation, and maintain army bases in over 160 countries? What is 'free' and 'democratic' about one country acting as the police of the world, with secret prisons? And why does the government do everything in its power to maintain the status quo domestically, when they could seriously improve the standard of living? In free countries, there is no prejudice, there is no ignorance, there is no conditioning, manipulation, fearmongering...there is healthcare for all...there is not 1/6 of the pop'ln on the poverty line...there are jobs...there is tolerance of religions...there are opporutnies to go to school and not have to pay a debt the rest of your life....
Essentially, how many people believe that American 'freedom' is just a facade?

What are your views on government surveillance. I think it is right for the NSA and other assosiations similar to intercept e-mails, wiretap phone calls, and to put out surveillance cameras. I wan't to know why people are AGAINST government surveillance.

Say that you are running for an elected post. The initial results seem to indicate that you've lost, so you call your opponent and congratulate him, and concede. However, the votes continue to come it, and, when totalled, show you to have received a substantial number of votes, so that you have more than your opponent (enough to avoid a recount). Have you won the election, or does the fact that you conceded mean that you have given up, and are just s.o.l.?

If they are gathering intel that will keep thousands of people safe, and if they're only torturing people that mean us harm, I don't mind if they do it.

I don't think he gives one hoot about "protecting marriage". I think he's looking to score points with whacko religious cons who can't seem to kick gay people enough.

I was wondering if being a reserve deputy sheriff will require the same amount of training as being a full time deputy. I was also wondering if the application process is the same. Also will it be required to attend the same law enforcement academy as regular full time deputies.
