Do I need some sort of permit or such for rescuing stray cats off of the street for my snow sledding team?

I know that most people use dogs for sledding races such as the Iditarod, but I was wondering if it's illegal in most places to sneak a few stray cats off of the street to use in place of dogs for my sledding team.

The only dog I would plan to have on my team is a Havanese I could borrow from the neighbor girl; every sledding team needs a good leader. The dog could be in charge of all of the cats, but will I get in trouble if someone sees me taking cats off the street? There always is a chance that the cat does in fact belong to someone; so, wouldn't people be concerned about someone who is taking stray cats and maybe accidentally their house cat? ...perhaps concerned enough to create a law against it?

I would like the general laws regarding snatching cats off of the street because I want to have cats from various places so as to have a culturally diverse sled racing team.

dnr laws, whats ethical?

"DNR" is a "do not recessitate" whats ethical. when asked they ask you about feeding tubes and antibiotics as well as the other regular DNR questions. the real question is knowing that you may have an incounter prior to surgery & agree to all DNR orders, is that the same as suicide?

How come repubs make this double standard?

they think our president and other officials have made the homeland very safe against attacks in domestic ways (i wonder what imaginary border security measures they are referring to) and then they say if we leave iraq we will not be safe even with the "homeland security" that our president has allegedly provided us all with.
So basically, they are contradicting themselves and also belittling our Intelligence's ability to intercept attacks. Double standards are on both sides of the spectrum, ok republicans?

why do we allow the invasion of illegal immigrants to continue???

we cater to these people who care nothing about our country except for the money...we put them above our own people who are in need of assistance..we give them everything yet they have no respect for us..they won't learn our language which i believe is still English..they don't respect our culture ..they fly their flag above ours..not just mexicans or latins even though they are the majority..this is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA...my country ...your country...i am tired of being a minority in my homeland..if you don't like it ...leave it...go back to your land of no hopes and dreams and fix it...don't bring your desolation and destitution here to infect my AMERICA..

What do you think of Bush's membership to the Skull and Bones society?

As most informed citizens know by now, President Bush is an admitted member of The Order of Skull and Bones, one of the most secretive societies in the world. When asked about it, he (as do all the other members) quickly ends the conversation by stating that he can't say anything about it. What do you think of our Commander in Chief having a divided allegiance to both the State and a non-governmental organization that we know nothing about? (A quick note: This has nothing to do with 9/11 conspiracies. I realize that will be most people's gut reaction, as would mine, but that is not the case. My question is what it is; there are no intended implications regarding an "inside job.")

How do you think the military who serve/d in Iraq feel about the US not being secure?

When I went to Ciudad Juarez and walked back across the border I noticed thousands of people crossing the border with border crossing cards but less than half that many going back to Mexico with these cards? A naturalized citizen who drives a bus in El Paso told me that when El Paso wants more workers immigration which is both in El Paso connected to the consulate in Ciudad Juarez hands out more border crossing cards. Most do not go back and they go to work somewhere in the U.S. A border crossing card is not a work permit it is a very inexpensive temporary tourism permit. So why put up a fence when the consulates who have been caught many times stealing from their own systems are letting them in whenever El Paso wants cheap labor?

How many people do you know who make minimum wage, and in what profession do they work?

In my area, Northern Virginia, the only people I know making minimum wage also make tips to compensate, but this is only a small part of the nation. I am trying to see how other areas of the country relate in regards to the current debate of raising the minimum wage. This question is asked in the spirit of bipartisanship. It is in no way a slam towards either sitting political party. Thanks.
