Politics & Government - 6 January 2007

Fox viewers think that Iraq is payback for 9/11. Everyone else knows there is no connection.

However, we are now to the point where deaths of America soldiers in combat will exceed the number of Americans who died in 9/11.

Forget the fact that the official count of soldiers only includes combat deaths and not all other types.

For those that support the war -- how many deaths mean the cost was too high? Is it infinite?

I am very suspicious of Watada for a couple reasons. First, he joined the Army in 2003, after the so-called illegal war began. Second, he seems to love the attention he is getting. Instead of quietly refusing to go to Iraq, he is speaking up like an activist. I think it's possible he joined the Army with the intention of speaking up against the Iraq war.

Probably because I email my House of Representatives member, Bart Stupak, regularly for many issues, I've been invited to a town hall meeting in 9 days. Having just watched an Inconvenient Truth with my daughter, I realized once again that all other issues are secondary to having a "playground" where all our human dramas are played out. Therefore, I'd like to make the most of this opportunity to move the agenda of changing policy regarding the US contribution of the staggering CO2 levels we produce. What should I say, if I have an opportunity to speak? Should I push for re-attaching the US signature on Kyoto? Or is there something else more important? I could not think of a better civics lesson for my "tween" daughter than showing her how to step up to the plate and press for civic accountability of our leaders.

I don't get why there's such a big deal. Shouldn't politicians have to follow the laws of the country? If the law says that Christianity is our religion, shouldn't they have to swear in on the Bible?

After seeing a judge dismiss my case while totally ignoring material evidence, my attorney convinced me to file an appeal. For months and months my attorney went back and forth with the huge corporation we're suing, filing documents, as happens in lawsuits. Ultimately my attorney was given a deadline to file a brief. My attorney met that deadline. Then, the defendant was given a deadline to respond to my attorney's brief. The defendant requested an extension of time and was granted that extension. The defendant met that deadline. I thought at that point we'd be going to oral arguments, but no!! Instead my attorney was given a deadline to respond to the defendant's brief. It was at this time that my attorney requested an 'enlargement of time', which was granted by the courts. My question now is: If my attorney doesn't respond at all to this brief will the appellate judges deprive us of oral arguments and a trial by jury SOLELY because we did not meet the deadline 2 reply 2 their brief?
