I'm a smoker myself (please don't preach to me, I'm planning on quitting) - but why are cigarettes even legal in the first place? Hasn't someone tried to do something about this? It seems so obvious - they cause countless deaths per year..

- To vote and not protest. Come on thats what America is if you dont like it then vote. Is that too hard?

-Stop thinking about the death toll. It does not reflect off the war progress. If you want troops to live then dont let there morale down.

I got a speeding ticket going 20 over in a school zone. I got a $160 fine, so i pled not guilty and have a court date in 2 weeks. When do they tell me how many points i get, and if i plead that i will pay the fine and ask them to lower the number of points, do you think they will?

Yeah i realize i'm stupid for speeding...

Dem = 12 of highest contributors gave 90 or more of their contributions to Dems

Repub= 0 of highest contributors gave 90% or more of their contributions to Repubs.

Of the 20 highest contributors 14 gave the majority of their funds to Dems repubs only had 3 and there were 3 that split equally.

So much for the belief that the rich give mostly to Repubs..

I've long gotten over George W. Bush being elected (and re-elected) president. All along I've known that no matter what happened, he couldn't be president forever.

And now he's a lame-duck who only has two years remaining in office.

But the sickening idea that more than 50 million of my fellow Americans could elect (and re-elect) someone like that, is something that will never go away, and will haunt me to my grave.

I can't stomach the feeling that Americans no longer have the high standards they once did when it comes to choosing their leaders, considering that the last two presidents have been draft-dodgers.

Virtually anyone living outside the United States will agree (word for word) with what I just said.

I don't think the commander-in-chief should be required to have prior military experience, but I do have issues with electing someone who hides in Canada (or has daddy and grand-daddy pull some strings) to get out of serving.

We in the US will have a presidential election in less than two years from now, and a lot of us are worried that we will not be able to find anyone dumber than our current president to vote for. We the American people have been trying hard to find the most unqualified candidates for public office for many years now, but we are worried that will will not be able to top (or should i say bottom?) the present President. Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.

My friend recently got a ticket when I was in the car. The speed limited was 55 but he had his cruise control set on 60. However the cop said that she clocked him in at 72. On the ticket she wrote down that he was going 70. Although he was still speeding...that extra 10mph could be the difference in a large amount of money for a 17 year old hischooler with a minimum wage job. Another this is...As she allowed us to go she said "you need to follow the speed limit, slow down about 8mph." I believe that shows that he couldnt have possible been going more than 63. I believe he could have a case about how the cop was unable to provide accurate evidence. But, I have heard rumors that in Ohio anyone under the age of 18 is not given a chance to explain or say anything oter than "yes" or "no" in their court hearing. Is there any possible way for him being 17 to get out of this? (also if it helps...the cop used a radar to clock him in)

Most of them seem to be coming from countries with low taxes, small govts, unregulated free markets, and little if any social welfare programs.

If my observation is correct, why would this be?

My 20 year old brother was drinking last night(apparently a lot) with his friends in Santa Cruz california. Today he drove home (about a 2 to 3 hour drive home) He was almost home and got puuled over for speeding. He was aressted for a DUI. He breathed a BAC of .14 at 3:45 p.m. I think he's screwed. ANyone have any advice that would help ANd what he might expect to be facing. He also wants to be a fireman but is now afraid that he is screwed because of this. He didn't think that he was still drunk because he drank last night. He just thought he was hungover.
He is really a good kid and hasn't been in trouble before and wouldn't have driven if he knew that he would blow any BAC number

It would be a nightmare scenario for the U.S. to attack Iran. They would crush Iranian forces in a matter of hours, but the economic ramifications would be horrible. The price of gas would sky rocket and this would cripple the economy.

But there have been hints that this could happen.

Do you think it might happen?
