Politics & Government - 3 January 2007

I was on a deployment in the Bahamas, a few years ago (Marine Corps) and was part of an experiment that dealt with the pro/cons of double-oxygenated water. We wore monitoring devices that resembled a wrist watch and drank this "special" water and were asked a series of questions throughout this timeframe. My question is this: I haven't found anyone else that was part of the research and have found nothing on this as well and am wondering if anyone knows (or was part of) what this was for? This was while we were with 8th Engineers out of Lejeune. Thanks.

Or have someone in their family who is illegal? Many deny it,but it seems like there is an agenda. This is why they respond so bitterly. Or play the race card. Seems very desperate.

Where could i find a book or information on the entrance exam for police officer. They say you dont need to study but does any body know how the test is? Is it hard? Should i prepare myself in some type of way?

And does anybody know about the oral exam? How is that? Is it pretty much like a interview? What type of question do they ask?

Thanks!!!

Why 90% of the anti-immigrants racists (that pretend that are not) don't allow e-mail communication? What are you afraid of? Debate for you is like Fox News' interviews: only one side speaks?

My e-mail is open to anyone, enjoy it.

The United States has destroyed Iraq and has erased everything they knew as far as politics. Don't get me wrong, because during that time, the US also helped take down a terrible dictator. There are so many anti-war activists out there saying we should pull out, but what happens to Iraq and the people if we pull out now? I'm not trying to start an arguement or flare peoples' tempers, but what should we do? Do we leave them in chaos and let the terrorists take over or do we help them to build themselves up again?

Are you tired of their hypocricy when they try and tell the US how to treat illegals that come here? I know I am. They need to be told to shut up and take care of their problems instead of dumping them on us.


"Some of the worst abuses take place on the coffee plantations of Chiapas state, where some 40,000 Guatemalan field hands endure backbreaking jobs and squalid living conditions to earn roughly $3.50 a day. Some growers even deduct the cost of room and board from that amount. "If you ask them, 'Why are you bringing in Guatemalans to work?' they say, 'You can't depend on Mexicans. They don't work hard; they're irresponsible'," says George Grayson, a political scientist specializing in Mexico at the College of William & Mary. "The truth is, you can pay [the guest workers] a pittance. And if they cause the slightest disturbance, you can send them back to Guatemala."

It's ridiculous! Craigslist is promoting prostitution, which is ILLEGAL in most states, by allowing them to post ads for free! How does Craigslist get away with this? Arent there any legal issues that they have to go through?

Many of these ads arent even ambiguous....they are all OBVIOUSLY ads for prostitution.

How are we supposed to clean up our towns when nothing is being done about prostitution, and when websites like Craigslist allow prostitutes to post ads?

Can anything be done about this?

When President Bush entered Lance Cpl. Chad Watson's hospital room, the young Marine wanted to stand and shake his hand.

Just standing is quite a feat when you have just one leg and your foot is in a cast.

Supporting himself on a walker, Watson reached out his hand but immediately lost his balance and grabbed the walker.

"The second time I went off balance again," said Watson, 23. "My brother (Brandon) saw what I was trying to do and grabbed me under my arm. That stabilized me enough to shake the president's hand."

Surrounded by family members, Watson stood upright as a fellow Marine read his Purple Heart commendation, and the president pinned the medal on his blouse.

"It was all his upper body strength," said his father, Mike Watson. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house."

Then, the president said, "Lance Cpl. Watson, I command you to sit down."

"With a smile on his face, of course," Watson said.

Mike and Gina Watson said the president and first lady Laura Bush spent about 15 minutes with their family, which included Brandon, a Mount Zion High School sophomore, and Amy, a sophomore at Northern Illinois University. His other sister, Lindsey Damery, a nurse who helped Chad Watson tremendously while hospitalized, was unable to attend.

When Chad Watson asked the president if he had a few minutes to sign autographs for his siblings, he replied, "I'll sign all day for you."

A three-star general in the president's entourage told Chad Watson that he planned to tell the Marine commandant that a young Marine who was missing one leg, with the other injured, had made the effort to stand for the president.

"That is something I am most proud of," Chad Watson said.

Come on. Honestly, what kind of an admired president has a 30% rating? If 70% of the country doesn't trust them, then something must be wrong.

Would appreciate attorney, and or paralegal to respond.

I work at an office where there is a non smoking law. You have to be 30 feet away from the building. Several employees continue to ignore the signs, and continue to light up. Myself and several coworkers have made complaints to the correct source, however, the person in charge, is a smoker themself, and fail to do anything. What other options can we pursue legally? We are fed up.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
