I've just been reading about a famous English Detective called Sherlock Holmes. The man was a real genius. He solved so many crimes during his time.

Does he have any living relatives ?

We have absolutely destroyed Iraq. Caused it to implode into civil war. Inspired increased terrorist membership. In light of all this who can honestly stand up and say they are proud of what America has done under the leadership of the Republicans ( corporate alliance)?

I heard that you could do this if you are robbed at gunpoint, just type it in backwards, you still get the money but it tells the police where you are.

I need to know if this is legal. I recorded a phone conversation w/ someone w/o their knowledge, so it could be used to discredit them in court for a very close friend. Is this even legal in Virginia? I know some states allow it.

If you live in the United States and you were not born here
and you commit a FELONY,I think you should be deported to your birth country....regardless as to where it is... Asia, Netherlands, P.R. ect. I think our prisons would be less crowded and it would send a message. On the same hand I think if Americans commit a felony then there
sentances should be harsher. anyone agree?

This country is so divided that we are in terrible danger. I mean if divide and conquer has any meaning we're in trouble. So since there is already so much disention in the ranks how can we possibly win. I seem to remember that on 9/12/01 we all seemed to be on the same page. But then this whole thing was turned on us. Our rights have eroded, all pot smokers have been branded as terror supporters, and anyone who speaks they mind is quikly shouted down as a traitor. What happened and how do you think we should fix it?

I recently got a speeding ticket in Knoxville, TN in a construction zone. The officer checked the workers present box, but there were none anywhere, I took pictures right after. I'm not sure the amount yet but if it's outrageous, which it probably will be, I want to challenge it. Does anybody know what my chances with this are, and if I can do any of this through the mail in TN? I live in Atlanta so it's not a convenient trip.

I get annoyed when I hear democrats and celebrities complaining about republicans giving tax breaks to the rich; and these same celebrities get "goody bags" and such worth upward of $100,000 and they don't even PAY taxes on this stuff! (Though, I've heard there will finally be some crack down on this practice)

The democratic politicians invite these celebrities to fund raisers and such and are willing to let them speak for their "values" and yet most of the politicians and celebrities are rich and benefit from these tax breaks.

Why is it considered "evil" when it's the corporate right; but "ok" when it's liberal celebrities that are screwing the American tax payers?

My friend told me about this and want to know if it's true...

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from
an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes

that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber,

the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used
because people don't know it exists.

Specially law enforcement workers, please answer.
