The company responsible for collecting refuse in my area consistently misses my trash can. Despite numerous calls to their office, I'm often left with my garbage until the next time they pick it up, or to haul it down to the local dump myself. Since they seem uncooperative to alleviate my problem, I've started deducting missed pick-ups from the bill they send me.

They didn't much care for this, and despite cashing my check, don't even pick up my garbage at all. Complaints to my local government also appear to be ignored, in that the go unanswered. Hence, as my revenge, I collected my last two-weeks worth of garbage and took it down to the collection agencies main office. I then dumped it in their lobby and vacated the premises. Given what I've been through, it seemed the best recourse.

Why doesn't anyone else think he might have been murdered? Did they look into it? That Fidel Castro guy is getting old too and I think he wanted to be sure he out lived president ford, thereby having him killed. Is the IRS investigating this?

I saw a commercial on Fox News where they wished everyone "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". Are they part of the S-P movement? Will O'Reilly leave the network in protest and return to the gossip show Inside Edition?

My husband joined the Air Force. He is in the DEPS program now until the end of April. He was given an EOD contract, but we have a huge amount of credit card debt (around 30,000). We are falling behind fast. He hasn't been working for 3 months now, and things were hard when we had two incomes. He has been looking for jobs, but he cannot find one. We're considering a few options. The first is to file bankruptcy. He's pretty sure that the air force will not take him if we end up filing, but that the army or marines might. I was also thinking about maybe a debt management program? Does anyone have any advice?

Working in Government school on part-contract basis, if the employers ask for more, what should one do? Policy is as such one cannot ask for regular cadre as per contract. Also underpaid and work more. A lot of exlploitation. No government policies meant for such people? If there are , where ? Who would help in this corrupt world?

When everyday so many young americans die in iraq and other parts of the world. We dont close govt offices everytime a soldier dies, We dont raise the flag 1/2 way everytime a father loses his daughter. We dont have a state funeral everytime a mother loses her son.

Did he deserve to die? Hell yes!
Was his trial and execution handled with due diligence? THAT is the question.

Yes, he was guilty of crimes against humanity. But was it too much to ask that the man be found guilty and his sentence declared by the World Court? Am I crazy, or is that not the correct procedure???

Furthermore, the man was hung on Eid - what kind of muslims sentence a man to die like that on Eid??? I can tell you what kind - muslims (if Shia's can EVEN call themselves that) who have sold their souls.

Below is the perspective from a lot of people outside the US:
The man was "judged" by a group of people who had a crash course in how-to-run-a-trial. Basically, it was a mockery - Street justice disguised as a trial conducted by the Iraqis. If the Americans executed him, the backlash from the rest of the world would have been huge. It was really convenient that the Iraqis hung him (and many people believe it was because the US government was pressuring them).Views?

Please dont just answer "its a lefty conspiracy" I understand that some people feel that way.
I want to know what specific gain political or otherwise that someone would get by promoting Global warming if it was a hoax.

Im pretty sure Al Gore is not running for the White house so I cant see it availing him any thing
Any soloution for global warming would be alternate energy sources, and its not like the oil companies are helping us any, and it would actually be harmful to the oil terrorist nations.

I am looking for an actual motive for why someone would use this as a tool for some kind of gain.

Ok, I live in Texas, and my boyfriend of 7 years is leaving me and our 1 year old son. We have lived together for seven years and share the same bank account. Three years ago he bought a car for me in his name, I am not a co-signer. The payments have come from our joint bank account where both my and his paycheck is deposited. Now, whenever he wants to be evil, he takes the car away from me...won't let me use it to get to work, nothing. He says I have no rights to the car, that it is only his. I completely depend on this car for my and my son's wellbeing. Do I really not have any sort of rights to this vehicle????

If you know and care enough about America and the current crisis to qulify as an answerer, then I need not explain anything else to you beyond the question itself...

Seriously, what measures can we take?

Michael Savage advocates bringing prosecution against them under the RICO statutes--which is an accurate and legitimate charge, but hardly realistic to expect anyone in goverment to be able to bring given the politically correct climate and fears of "McCarthyism", etc...

But the founders of the ACLU were indeed avowed communists, whose stated goal was the overthrow of free-enterprise and our Constitutional rights...so far they are succeeeding in their campaign.

Any ideas about how to effectively fight them?

Currently they wage war by sending scores of lawyers against hapless and underfunded ranchers, schools, municipalities, etc...and simply intimidate or bankrupt whomever into settling...

These girls threw 5 Christmas (pine) trees out in front of my house I have no idea what I am going to do with them I told my dad that I would go take them to my friends storage lot and we will just dump them in the dumpster there but he said that that is illegal and we cant get caught doing that because we will get fined. I live in Michigan and I was just wondering if there is a law prohibiting this or can I get fined for doing it.
