Politics & Government - 2 January 2007

Do the real interests of government reflect the will of the people or does government tolerate the will of the people while they focus on self-interest, special interest and corporate interest?

How does the Government see you?

My question is this.How can you not believe that.Look at this site.

It is the blueprint of the right wing think tank.Many of todays administration are members of PNAC and have signed their names to the letters and reports contained therein.There is even one letter to Clinton ,urging immediate action be taken in IRAQ.3 years before 9/11.They admit plainly that they will need a new pearl harbour to acheive their goals.That was 9/11.

I, the mother, live in Alabama. The father lives in Florida. I recently got married and am now a stay-at-home mom, while he has nothing to do with our child. My husband has been supporting us quite well, but I think it's a little unfair that my child's father just stays out partying without a care in the world. My husband would like to adopt our child (I hope I'm not confusing you too much!), but the paternal father won't give up rights. Is there a way I could threaten him with backpay of child support, plus current support, hoping to scare him into giving up rights, or would he get out scott-free as he's not working?

I want the government to legalize drugs and prostitution. I would also like to see porn on tv and hear swear words on tv. I don't want free health care and I want welfare to end. My taxes are too high. Am I a liberal?

I work in the front office at a steel manufacturer. Our safety director says that we cannot keep aspirin to give out if needed because of osha. But we give out ibuprofen and first aid creams and sprays? what's the difference? I'm only wondering b/c I know that if someone is having a heart attack, you should give them aspririn. Any thoughts would be helpful.
