Do you think an employee of the Education Department (IT) who continually works (4 years) in an unsafe and arogant manner and performs substandard work be sacked. Should the Dept be accountable and liable for not following through with disciplanary action for such behaviour even after reports have been made regarding the work and safety standards??

I have had to resign my position due to concern for the safety of myself, collegues and students have gone ignored.

I have had them do it to me & have seen them right on someone's bumper like they are trying to make them screw up to pull them over. I belive there is a law that states you must be 1 or 2 car lengths apart from another vehicle.

The rich tend to have fewer kids than the rest of us - yet the number and proportion of the country that IS rich is growing. That has to mean that middle class people are becoming rich. Not all of them but more than was the case a generation ago and even a decade ago.

Every income level is better off than either a decade or a generation ago, and for most of us these levels are weigh stations, not a permanent status.

So most of us are moving up, albeit at different rates. Hardly anyone is moving down.

Isn't that better than the alternative?

Someone's ex-girlfriend refused to leave the man she was with. The man pointed a gun at them and told them to pray-he was going to shoot. The gun went off and the bullet hit the mans ex-girlfriend's handbag and dress. The man who was not injured, said that he had no fear during the experience. Was the ex-boyfriend guilty of assault and battery against his ex-girlfriend and the man she was with? WHY?

We've got stopped for a taillight being out and then he said our load was over weight, they write us up for speeding 45 in a 25MPH. Which wasn't true for we had just made a left hand turn, going uphill and in a 1 ton Dually with a 1/2 a load of metal for scrap. It is impossible to go 45 after you straighten this vehicle out from the turn. It ended up us having to go to court with proof we were not overweight (picture of the load proved that as well as weigh in sheet.) Proof that all lights worked-signed papers from 4 witnesses. Plus we had to take time off work and waste courts time. If they stop you for something that reason should be on the ticket. I wonder how many others are stopped for some reason that isn't true? It's like they go through a list until they find one you can't fight on the spot. Thanks to all the people who had picture taking ability on your phones. Pictures tell a story.
Cops should quit stopping people that have no legitimate reason to be stopped.

He was giving a talk in Totnes, Devon last evening. He conveyed his experiece with us, and told how he was the "only" witness to give evidence to the 9/11 comission "behind closed doors"
No press or cameras were allowed. He told us he was in level "B2" (basement) when there was an extremely violent explosion from a lower basement level. (before the aircraft hit the building) He told the comission that there were a further 22 witnesses that could confirm this. The comission refused to allow them to give evidence, and their final report completely ignore his evidence.

My question is WHY?

Another law they have is that in order for me to have an NC drivers license, I have to have insurance even though I don't own a car.

Paid women to have more children and NOT be married.

Having a baby lost it's "stigma" and became common to where some people think it's NORMAL.

How many times have you heard someone talk about SS benefits and it not being around when we reach our "Golden Years"? Iv'e come up with a few thoughts towards our future and that of our SS benefits. Say you are not married, no family, or anything of that nature, and you pass on prior to your benefits being able to be used. Where does that money go? With that thought in mind, why doesn't our Government allows us an option to take care of our own future with our money. One idea was, what would be the big deal if we were able to take a portion of our Social Security each year and invest it on our own. We all get a statement of what our benefits will be when we are ready to retire, seeing how it is our money, we should be able to fill out a form and say, Id like to take "X" amount of % from my SS . You might be lessing your benefits from SS, but at least you have a chance to see your SS money closer to you and its security. Just a thought.
