A Poem for America

America the Beautiful
America the great
If this is true
Why was this our fate?
Was it something we did?
Was it something we said?
Even if so
Do all those people deserve to be dead?
We are going through horror
We are going through pain
Yet we are not to worry
For justice we shall gain
We must pray and stick together
Pray and be strong
Finding the one responsible will not take too long
And when we do find them
We will make them pay
And that my brothers and sisters
Will be the most glorious day!
Jennifer Alina Ruigrok .
Children...Mere babies died on that horrible day Only months after people started to forget and now look at most people waving there peace signs saying we should have never started this war. Well guess what... we didn't, we retaliated with good reason and justification. I wish we could all be at peace but with people flying planes into buildings with thousands of people in them I'd say thats a little hard. http://www.9-11heroes.us/v/Asia_Cottom.php

Even if you don't currently live in NYC, it's inevitable that this will become the status quo across the country, so it WILL affect you.
1. Do you feel that this ban of trans-fats inhibits your right to choose how you use your body?
2. Do you think that the benefits of banning this unhealthy substance and the reduction in mortality, obesity and healthcare costs to others outweighs the right of individuals to determine how they wish to treat their bodies?
3. Can you point out any correlations between this and other freedoms that we do or do not have in our society?

I have a South Dakota driver's learner's permit. Can a 14 year old, which is 100% legal and valid in South Dakota use this permit in NJ? How about a S.D. provisional license?

I know that New Jersey does not honor out of state licenses if one is not at the required age, however I believe permits are different.

Any answer would be appreciated.

I'm looking for book recommendations that describes at the most basic level everything thing there is to know about each branch of the U.S. Military. If it's not all in one book, that is fine. Looking to find out about ranks, uniforms, rules, training, types of aircraft, types of combat vehicles, types of sea-going vessels, etc. If you have any recommendations, please post them.
Thanks!

The United States of America has the worse healthcare system of all free-industrialized nations. Democrats will have charge of the House, the Senate, and U.S. Congress come January. Do you think that they will fix America's healthcare problem and give us a healthcare system like all other free-industrialized nations have? It SHOULD BE our right, as American citizens, to have healthcare. Do you think we will get it?

This all started back in 2005, my husband took my fathers credit card and used $450 w/o his permission. We had moved to Oklahoma and he was arrested and we bonded him out and went down to NM and thought we had it taken care of. Last month he was arrested with a govonors warrant and he finally got picked up 2 days ago and is now back in NM. I am trying to get him bonded out. He already has a bond set but I want to make sure that he can come home and work until his court date. He hasnt had his arraignment hearing yet and so I cant find out what his actual court date will be. His paperwork is completely screwed up (according to gaurds and Lt.'s down there) I called to court to see if he was being arraigned today but they didnt have any paperwork on him. Can I bond him out and bring him home? and Can we set the court date?

I have watched many police videos, and have seen several cops almost overpowered by suspects and an officer attacked and shot dead with his own gun. Granted, cops have MACE/pepper spray, batons, handguns, blackjacks, etc. But they cannot just shoot a suspect if they are unarmed. The officers have to subdue them hand to hand.

After seeing many martial arts classes in kung fu san soo, Krav Maga, Gracie style and other fighting methods, they are more than capable of using holds, arm locks, etc. to disable attackers with guns knives and physical strength of an opponent. I saw a video of the late Master Jimmy Woo who was attcked full force by guys bigger and tougher than he was, but he put them all down. Why aren't cops capable of disabling a powerful suspect with a matial art technique? Why aren't they trained better to disable an aggressive attacker? Sometimes it takes 2-4 officers to handle a rough neck. Any cops care to comment? Be careful and watch yourselves from bad elements.

Okay now I understand how assets are "frozen", although it is unclear as to where the monies are held, and unclear as to what branch of government has control over it. and for how long.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/27/114208.shtml read the info on that link! The numbers are slightly different at current time, but the report still rings true... Roughly four percent of the U.S. population is illegal immigrants, yet SEVENTEEN percent of our federal prison population is illegals. I hear to often that many are fleeing the violence and corruption of Mexico; in my opinion a more accurate statement would be that they are BRINGING MEXICO'S VIOLENCE AND CORRUPTION WITH THEM when they come here.

Does that mean the bombing campaign Clinton ordered in Yugoslavia was unjust? Please don't bring Iraq into this question. I am just trying to understand ppl.'s opinions on war. Maybe that is the reason the UN never did anything in Rwanda, Zimbabwe, and Darfur... the UN was not being attacked, but rather innocent people

The theory is you will get the cash and the cops will be notified. My thing is how much good will it do, as ATM transactions only take seconds and you and the theif will be long gone.

I think its because it is like ALL reactionary rhetoric. It is compsensatory talk meant to conceal the pain and war the so-called "christian" wishes to inflict.

Bush is not a christian.He uses the term to avoid the personal responsibility of his actions. Why else would he create so much of a disaster and them claim to be aligned with a Prince of Peace?

Since when does being successful and educated make you a sellout to your race?

As though being poor uneducated and ignorant is the way to go?
