Someone ran into my parked truck. The police officer didn't make a report. He said if there wasn't more than $1000 damage no report would be filed.The driver didn't have insurance. She first agreed to pay for damages but she said since she got a ticket she wasn't paying for damages. We contacted the police he just told us we would have to take her to small claims court. BUT without a report is that possible? Was the officer suppose to make one anyway

terror to the enemy where HE lives, repeat, where HE, the enemy lives. The fight is half way around the world on foreign soil. Does the "new direction" the Democrats promise entail a cut and run policy to bring the troops home? Do they want the troops home so that they can fight the enemy when they attacks us again on our own soil?

up the waazoo for, how many of us want to pay our taxes? I'll give you a good example of our "leaders" spending...the pentagon is buying $20.00 plastic ice-cubes trays from a "Pentagon vendor"...in the spring of 2004, the Pentagon paid $1,000 each for hot plates, even though it had previously bought the same ones for $450.00...The Pentagon payed out $22,797.00 apiece for 34" refrigerators, more than $7,000 a foot.

The "Defense Logistics Agency" has initiated what it calls the prime vendor program, the Pentagon has been "encouraged" to buy from a cherry-picked group of manufacturers, this idea is to speed up delivery of goods to our miitary bases.

If you want to read more on this, find the February issue of Reader's Digest, page 148, article written by Sacha Zimmerman...personally, i find this very intriguing. Any thoughts out there?

There are strong suspiscions amongst my colleagues that someone (a healthcare professional) smokes dope in the toilets whilst on duty. It is common knowledge that they smoke it outside work. This week there was a strong smell of dope in the communal locker room. The person concerned was then seen coming out of an adjacent toilet. Obviously no-one acutally saw him smoking, but this follows a similar event last year.

Legally, where does the employer stand? Can you sack someone for smoking dope at work? Would you have to prove it affected their work? What level of proof would you need? Can an employer demand people have drugs tests? Would everyone need to be tested (clearly someone has been smoking dope at work even if the wrong person is suspected). Obviously the employer wishes to avoid being taken to an employment tribunal for sacking someone unfairly. Does the NHS have its own guidelines on this?

Sorry if thats more than one question! Any info would be appreciated.

Can someone please explain to me how the electoral votes work? I am confused on how they are divided up after the popular votes are calculated.

For example, if there are 12,000,000 people in a state, and 4,000,000 people vote for one candidate, but 2,000,000 people vote for the other person, with the last 6,000,000 people not voting. I do not understand how you can calculate how many votes go towards each candidate.

If you could please help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated.

What are some things the government has no control over? Anything would be great, but I don't think we realize how much control they actually have...

Is this just a no win issue or is hope on the horizon with this new discovery?

Stem cell researchers reacted with enthusiasm and reservations to a report that scientists have found stem cells in amniotic fluid, a discovery that would allow them to sidestep the controversy over destroying embryos for research. Researchers at Wake Forest University and Harvard University reported Sunday that the stem cells they drew from amniotic fluid donated by pregnant women hold much the same promise as embryonic stem cells.

Dr. George Daley, a Harvard University stem cell researcher, said the discovery shouldn't be used as a replacement for human embryonic stem cell research.
One of the more promising aspects of the research is that some of the DNA of the amnio stem cells contained Y chromosomes, which means the cells came from the babies rather than the pregnant moms.

If it is so dangerous, (which I am not completely disputing) then surely the RSPCA would have been on our cases long before the NHS realised anything. I have never heard of any pets with smoking related illnesses. Surely they are as passive smoking as humans in the same environment?
