My central concern was According to the Wall Street Journal, there is a mountain of evidence indicating that children raised by non-college educated, economically struggling mothers are at an increased risk for virtually every social problem, including poverty, crime, drug use – and single parenthood.This sounds just like what they wanted to get away from. How are these folks having a better life ?

I had a minor incident with my wife (domestic), arrested and case was dismissed by the judge.I have no conviction whatsoever. However, I am now applying for expungement of my arrest record which should be completed in a couple of months.I am a Green Card holder who is up for Naturalization. I want to leave for vacation outside of the USA, but am afraid if I leave now, I will be denied re-entry because of this arrest record. Does an expungement make any difference for the Immigration Officer at the airport because I believe he can still see it. Will I be denied reentry? Do I have to take the court order of dismissal and expungement order with me to be on the safe side? Thanks for your help! Remember, I have not been convicted of anything.

The U.S. is still having problems with Iraq and Afghanistan which I can understand, and yet its losing its popularity with foreign nations and has shown not to have the strength to deal with the world's 'rogue nations' that it promised to deal with after September 11. What should the United States do to fix foreign relations and fulfill its military intentions?

Please serious answers, I don't hate the United States i'm a patriotic citizen of it (Unlike 75% of the 'british' or 'australian' people here)

have noticed something - in books (novels, fun books, etc) or movies, they never use the actual President during the time's name. For example, in Baby-sitters Club Little Sister, #107: Karen's President, which was written in 1998, Karen meets the President but his name is not mentioned at all. Why is this? Is it illegal?

He's in jail for sexual assault, kidnapping and assault with the intent to kill. None of it is true. We've tried to tell the police this but they won't listen. His trial starts in March sometime. The person that accused him even told the police that she was lying and they still won't let him out. What is wrong with this picture!? They want to keep an innocent man in jail to eat moldy food and get sick all the time and have to worry about his own safety. He doesn't get hot showers or even warm ones. It is absolutely inhumane how they are treated. They are humans not animals. I wouldn't even treat a dog that bad. And you don't realize how bad they are treated until someone you love is in there. It's an outrage! We all just want him out. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to give them to me. They are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How many democrats and neolibs can say how pleased they are with Bush for funding all their beloved social programs, including the ones that clinton cut funding for?


I can say he was wrong for doing that. Can you disagree with me?

Or are you trained so well to hate him that you are not allowed to say anything positive about him?

Most of Congress do not want to send the troops..yes even the Republicans...so why does Bush insist on sending them ?

Now will the moonbats finally peel the old 2004 Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers off their Volvos? What a shame that we won’t have John Forbes “Liveshot” Kerry to kick around anymore! From “Do you know who I am?” to “Do you know who I was?” Somewhere, Manny Ortiz weeps. Who will the windsurfing caucus back now? In Green Bay, they’re draping “Lambert Field” in black crepe.

Is it appropriate to follow up an interview for a top level government position with a thank you email ? Particularly, if the interviewers were rather stiff and formal ? Does it make the candidate for the job look weak or professional ? How long should one wait before emailing the interview committee ?

rapist serves only 5.2 years on jail, and the average murderer
serves only 8.6 years. By contrast, the average time served for
possession of LSD is 10.1 years, and many Americans are serving
mandatory minimum sentences of 20 to 25 years for possession or

Isn't it enough yet? Isnt' there another way?
