It is impossible that one party will have all the say. There are particular republicans who would like to believe otherwise, but they don't seem to be realists.

My belief is that most Americans hold both Liberal and Conservative viewpoints depending upon the topic. Yet there is much rhetoric about crazy liberals think this or heartless conservatives think that.

For example most people agree that we should receive equal pay for equal work whether we are men or women (a Liberal belief). I also think that most of us are leary of giant government bueauracracies (a Conservative ideal). What do you think? Are we all just black and white or is really like many shades of grey?

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

I think you can start out with where the f*ck you going to get a job? Most employers have drug testing to protect the employees and the business owner. They also get a rate reduction in their insurance premiums. This will not change.

There will always be a black market because the government will regulate the THC content.

There will be more law enforcement for dui's because, it pays more than busting you for your dime bag.

If they legalize your choice of drug, which one gets legalized next?

Drug dealers will just push harder drugs to make money, and will become more violent to avoid jail.

How many people that are in jail for drug possession are actualy in for dime bags of weed?

Missouri: Police Roadblock Harassment Caught on Tape
St. Louis County, Missouri threaten to arrest a teenager for refusing to discuss his personal travel plans

The Newspaper
Wednesday, January 3, 2007

A teenager harassed by police in St. Louis, Missouri caught the incident on tape. Brett Darrow, 19, had his video camera rolling last month as he drove his 1997 Maxima, minding his own business. He approached a drunk driving roadblock where he was stopped, detained and threatened with arrest when he declined to enter a conversation with a police officer about his personal travel habits. Now Darrow is considering filing suit against St. Louis County Police.

"I'm scared to drive for fear of being stopped at another checkpoint and arrested while doing nothing illegal," Darrow told TheNewspaper. "We're now guilty until we prov

A local supermarket, owned by an out-of-state parent company, has persisted with a deceptive advertising offer and has stated no plans to cease it. The damage to the each consumer who participates is small but with a million+ customers it's a large deception.

How can I, simply as a conscientious consumer without the money to hire counsel, take legal action against the chain to right a wrong?

Can I file a small claim for the maximum value and simply argue that I could not afford to file for a larger value?

"Bush has issued at least 750 signing statements during his presidency, more than all other presidents combined, according to the American Bar Association. Typically, presidents have used signing statements for such purposes as instructing executive agencies how to carry out new laws. Bush's statements often reserve the right to revise, interpret or disregard laws on national security and constitutional grounds."

Are the use and quantity of these signing statements an abuse of power by President Bush. And if, through a loophole, this isn't an abuse of power under the law, should it be?

It has the rekindled potential for bipartisanship! Are liberals and democrats the only ones who feel this is a good thing? There was an absence of bipartisanship for the past 6 years. Bipartisanship is a good thing, whether someone wants to believe it or not. I believe they already miss the days when democrats had virtually no voice in Congress. Well, those days are gone and the worst is behind us.

Im looking to talk to anyone that is a CANADIAN cop or private investigator. I have suspicion that someone I know could be preying upon young woman or worse. I have no evidence to really prove this though. I was friends with this person online, and then one day I looked up their phone number and suprise! They didnt have the same name, location, or nothing. I have their address, a few emails, and some fake names they go by. This could be a potential serious matter. Im praying that by the grace of god someone is willing to help free of charge! I have an address, so if a cop or private investigator would be willing to run the address through some system thatd be great!!So if your willing to talk or help me in any way please reply.

Looks like we have a hard time finding the 20,000 extra people for the "surge" (are you kidding me)...

Why not hire people who are willing and eager to fight and probably cheaper, too.

Looks like the Ethiopians can get the job done.
