Sectarian violence... whatever you want to call it. Didn't Bush overthrow their government and encourage their enemies to assassinate them? It seems irresponsible to disavow our culpability now that things are out of control. Bush is right. It's his fault, and he needs to do something about it. It's our fault too, for not overthrowing him when he stole the election.

He wants 25% of everything I recover. Part of my recovery will be for medical claims my health insurance company is paying until I settle, then they want their money back. That is money I will not receive, yet I have to pay attorney 25% of that? I may end up having to get a loan to pay attorney fees and get nothing or little for my expenses and suffering. Can someone explain how this works?

If you think the death penalty is a deterrent, then how do you explain the lower murder rate in states where the death penalty has been abolished?

Who can tell me about factual inconsistencies or problems with Al Gore's arguments in this movie? I'm supposed to get involved in a serious discussion about this for school, so I'm not interested in things like "Al Gore is a moron".

Does anyone know where I can find laws about managers protecting employees social security numbers?
-I work for a supermarket and I'm afriad that not only my idenity is in danger, but also my fellow co-workers.To find out the amount of vacation pay we have or things of that sort, the manager prints out a paper with the information on it.This piece of paper contains everyone's social security numbers on it.What surprises me is that when someone asks for such info like their vacation pay, the manager prints out the whole piece of paper with maybe 20-30 other people's info on it including their social security numbers on it and just hands it over to anyone.God forbid this info gets into the wrong persons hands.There has also been papers with every employees social security numbers just laying around on an unattended desk.I'm extremely nervous about this and need some advice on what actions I should take!(This has been brought to the managers attention one year!)

A yahoo news post said that Louisiana police who murdered 2 men and wounded others who were fleeing from the Katrina disaster would not be given the death penalty. A lawyer for one of the Ku Klux Kops said that it would be unprecedented for a policeman to be convicted or executed for a killing "in the line of Duty"

Was it the Duty of these officers to shoot unarmed refugees, their fellow Americans, while the victims were fleeing a horrible natural disaster?

Recently in California they have been trying to pass a law that makes it illegal to spank your own child.

Smoking is now banned in all public areas in California, Arizona, etc.....in Arizona you cannot even smoke in a bar.

What is next? Do you think its right that we no longer have certain choices? Will they at some point ban alchohol? Red meat? They are already banning Trans Fats from our food in New York.
Will we be able to disipline our children at all?
I would like to know your opinions. I think eventually we will have NO rights left.
Please give honest opinions.

There is a job posting where I work for an Accounting job. At the end of the posting it states the following:
Physical demands
The physical demands described here are representative of those that must by met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. The individual must be able to stand, walk, sit, talk, hear, see and use hands to finger, handle or feel.

Considering I use to do this job it can very easily be done by a person that cant walk, sit, talk or hear. There were only a few occations in the past year where I actually had to call someone or get up and move around. Is it legal to put this in a job posting?

So, instead of confiscating a person's property that may have an endangered specie on it, why don't we eat the endangered species? Think about it, people start eating the animal, then there will be a market for the animal, so then companies will then care about keeping them alive and thus breed them. No more endangered species
