Politics & Government - 3 January 2007

When parents send their students off to college, they hope their children will glean as much knowledge as possible from their professors during class lectures. However, at many universities, these students are instead being used to fill out the crowds at political demonstrations that meet with their professors’ approval.

The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) has raised this to a fine art. MU’s Peace Studies chairman John Galliher and other faculty in his department have publicly recommended students skip classes to protest the “arrogant and stupid” war in Iraq.– and are willing to give extra credit to those who go – and to remember those who do not.

On the popular website Ratemyprofessors.com, where “the students do the grading,” one student wrote, “(Galliher is) disrespectful, completely left-wing biased, (he) tries to push his left-wing ideology rather than teach, and (he) once tried to recruit students to campaign for Rep. Kucinich in class. He indoctrinates, not educates."

If you give a country a deadline, but then attack and try to assasinate their leaders BEFORE the deadline expires, is that a war crime?

In your state is the Judge required to inform the Jury that they have the power to acquit the defendent based on Jury Nullification?

If you are unaware of what Jury Nullification why not wirte your State Congressman and ask him/her..

Following that, you could write him/her a second letter telling him/her of your opinion on Jury Nullification.

If your traveling at night and you see a car on the road swerving and maybe speeding. The person is clearly driving like an idiot, they may or may not be drunk. Would you call the police on the spot and report this person?

Perhaps you can enlighten me. Why don't Americans have any appreciation for the fact that we are engaged in a war over our right to exist as a country, a people, and a civilization? Why are Americans so unwilling to recognize the threats it faces, and why is Western Civilization in general so complacent and so apathetic to the fact that it may not even exist within the next century if Radical Islam wins?

insurance.My daughter has medicaid. Here is is known as Maine Care. Well anyway, she also has TMJ really bad. We need to see a specialist to see if anything can be done, what type it is ect.
Well, the problem begins: that I have contacted a specialist who said they take Maine Care and bill Maine Care - for other services - but have never heard of Maine Care paying for TMJ.

I have contacted Maine Care and they told me they will pay for it with a prior authorization. So I contacted the specialist and got the same story - Maine will not pay. They also told me they couldn't do a P/A without her being seen. (Doens't that sort of defeat the purpose of a P/A?)
Well, anyway, Maine Care will not call them, and I can't convince them to contact Maine Care - and this is the only oral surgeon in the STATE that does this - to my knowledge. If you know someone else please let me know.

Well, I am at the end of my rope! Maine says yes. The oral surgeon says no, where do I go from here?

Can the Chaplain's Office Help?
My husband and I are having marital problems. He is addicted to some crazy things and has been unfaithful. I have not heard from him in 2 days and am sick with worry...haven't slept or ate in 3 days.... He lied about who his chain of command is and no one there will give me answers. Can the Chaplain's office help? What do I tell them so my husband's career is not affected? He needs help and I am so scared and worried for him right now.

Sensitization is the process the trainer uses to provoke a specific response from the subject to external conditions or stimulation; increase in responsiveness to the eliciting environmental stimuli is the hallmark of successful sensitization. Both habituation and sensitization are used to organize and focus a society's behavior toward a specific goal.

Do not exalt those of insignificant ability so that the people do not compete.
Do not prize merchandise of great expense so that the people do not resort to robbery.
Do not flaunt desireable objects so that the heart of the people remains undisturbed.

Thou shalt not covet. (from the Ten Commandments)

In the town I happen to be in at this time, the big news a few days ago was the new super-max prison about to open. I hear corporations are making big money on privately-owned prisons --made legal by NAFTA -- these day.

I recently found out I received a parking ticket for being in a bus stop area around 11pm at night but I was not parked and my car was on and running. I was there no more than a minute. I once was told that if you are not parked you cannot receive a ticket. Is this true? Should I try and dispute this $300 or will it likely be a waste of time? Please Help

Texas I am sure is a great state with some great people!! However
no amount of money guarantees some Texans the right to call themselves decent people. It seems an unusally high number of Texans actually think they have a IQ over room temperature and
claim to have a lot of money if they saved all their food stamps.
