China's military budget is ~ 40 billion annually and has risen according to their economic growth. It spends less than Japan and South Korea. It is clear that the media hype is an excuse by the USA to justify their miliary budget of ~ 450 billion annually. Please dont be fooled by the US, as the government's military report clearly states that china's military power no where near compares to the US. The US is the real threat to any1 that apposes their policies.

I know the government wants to mandate what businesses pay there employees, but if businesses have to pay more money for these employees won't they just hire less people or even eliminate some positions all together

In Michigan you can be jailed for Adultery. I can't really disagree with that as entire families are destroyed by adulterous activity, if caught. However, how is it that the government can set those standards when it is crystal clear that they are a mess as well? Mark Foley instantly comes to mind, but there are other reasons to put the brakes on government quickly, the first being WAR.

Think about it. What destroys families more, divorce or DEATH?

I solidly believe that government is out of control and there needs to be serious reform, serious reform. For example, we are supposed to have a voice in our government in this country. Well, November 7, 2006 we stated, in no uncertain terms, that we wanted OUT of Iraq. Bush ignored us and any of the elected officials who turn on us and support Bush right now.....well, my point is being made daily.

What can we do about this?

Instead of letting the Government or Media promote what they think you are why not make a country coalition of "Good"Americans who want peace and love throughout the world to promote America in a good light and not how GWB and Fox make it to be.

It seems that one can earn more points in the application for skilled worker immigration if the principal applicant's partner has good job experience, qualification and/or education, so I wonder if the single applicant like me will be disadvantaged?

I am an American living in Canada (dual citizenship). Here in Canada, we really don't have a problem with illegal immigration, yet our costs of goods and produce are really about equivalent to that of the US, once you take into consideration the exchange on our dollar. I wonder then, why illegal immigrant supporters claim that if all illegals in the USA are deported, the cost of goods to American consumers will go up to such as "$10 per head of lettuce," for example. Here in Canada, we also have fast food restaurants, farms, landscapers, construction companies, etc., and while we don't have the illegal immigrant problem that the USA has, we still don't pay more than the USA does for these goods and services, after you factor in the exchange on our dollar. So, I guess there goes that excuse, eh?

Will you get behind Hillary whether she chooses him as her running-mate or not?

Her camp started all this brouhaha about his purported Muslim education. I told you this would happen. Expect her to keep digging up dirt on him. To her, Obama is a is a dangerous bug that she must immediately squash. And she will do it. That is how the Clinton's operate.

With that being said, what do you think of Senator Clinton's tactics? Assuming she gets the nomination, will you still support her because she's a Democrat and you hate Bush? Do you think she won't resort to these kind of tactics while in the presidency? What does Hillary--a rich, white, win-at-all-costs, elitist snob--have to offer you? Will you fall for her pandering?

I am looking for a candidate that runs a campaign based on issues and ideas, core values (NO, i am NOT a Bible-thumper), and HOPE for America--not gloom-and-doom, fear and smear tactics. Please let me know when a candidate like that (who has a chance) appears.
