what would happen if you had put your money in enron? that is one out of how many world wide stocks. and you cant seem to think about bonds, 401ks and the likes. they dont just fall out like the couple of freak businesses. you would rather throw money at a loosing proposition because there is a 1 in 1000000000 chance you might loose it? Im sure glad your not my accountant.

The presidential election is this Sunday, and if Hugo Chavez does not win his 3rd term, there might be riots in the city... maybe, I don't know, that's why I am asking if I should be worried about spending my Christmas in Caracas, Venezuela. I am from Canada -- I know Venezuela is not in good relations with the United States, since Chavez called Bush the "devil". What do you think?

you seem to gloss over this part, which im not surprised please explain this instead of the title.

Why, then, does there seem to be a political consensus to save this monstrosity?

Politicians will tell you it's because the American people want it. The polls say so.

And indeed they do. But the fact is taxpayers support this status quo out of fear and not knowledge.

Certainly, no sane individual would buy a program that has the personal investment economics that I just described.

When President Bush proposed changing the program to one of ownership and private accounts, the Democratic Party launched major league into the politics of cynicism. The message that working Americans heard was that they would be kicked off a government program guaranteeing them a payment at retirement in exchange for taking their money and investing it in the stock market.

Is it any wonder that many dived for cover?

I call this the politics of cynicism because there is not a single Democratic senator or congressman who would purchase an insurance policy with the type of legal and economic realities of Social Security. Shut the door and one by one they know the truth.

The Democrats' campaign to "save Social Security" has really been a campaign to save their own butts.

To have endorsed the president's reform would have been an endorsement of a fundamental move away from welfare state politics that has been the bread and butter of the Democratic Party.

Now, playing on fears and not the real interests of working Americans, and the inability of Republicans to stick to and sell their message, the Democrats have won.

The real victims are the low and middle income Americans whose hard earned money is being sucked into this black hole that will only get deeper and blacker. This is happening while Democrats bewail wage and wealth stagnation at the lower end of our income spectrum.

Is a Republican White House, for fear that it will look like it did nothing on Social Security, about to join Democrats in the ranks of the politics of cynicism?

I just wonder how could the russian, allegedly poisoned, spy become a UK citizen? Probably the only way for them and others would be to start critisizing Mr Putin so much so that the foreign governments would believe they were persecuted in their home land? Do you think this could work out in the states too?

Would it have gone: "Fourty score and...well...a hundred years ago...uh..its fuzzy math, but back in the days of yesterday our four fathers brought forth upon this nation a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the prostitution that all white men were created mostly equal.

Now we are engaged in a new phase of sectarian violence. Not civil war, because its semen-ticks. And you cant wage war against civilians if you give them semen-tics. No one will remember what I said here I hope, but we all will member what them liberals tried to do here. But I am staying the course, and will not evaporate from the face of the earth or redeploy until the south's mision is accomplished. I mean the liberals won the election and I congratualte them for it, but you cannot win unless you lose. I mean if you lose you dont win. So I'm staying. Mission accomplished."

On November 14 I was arrested or Minor driving under the influence with a BAC of .03. The officer claimed at the time of arrest and in the police report that he pulled me over for an expired registration.

But here's the catch...my registration was not expired at all. I'm not sure how it works in other states, but in California you have a sticker for the month the registration expires (in this case Nov.), and a sticker for a year (in this case 2006). My registration was paid for and renewed on Nov. 10 (the sticker for the next year had not yet arrived), and I had the November sticker for 2006 on the car, which means there was no reason to believe my registration was expired.

Every person I've talked to (friends, parents, the freaking Oakland Police Chief) believes this was an illegal stop. What are my chances of getting this thing thrown out all together??
