Politics & Government - 6 February 2007

An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled.

Initiative 957 was filed by the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance. That group was formed last summer after the state Supreme Court upheld Washington's ban on same-sex marriage.
Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment.

All other marriages would be defined as "unrecognized" and people in those marriages would be ineligible to receive any marriage benefits.

land (inheritance) was left by a deceased parent to a individual.... later on during his marriage money was borrowed and the land (inheritance) was used as collateral and that loan was paid off. Later both parties divorced and nothing in the divorce mentioned the land. A few years later he remarries and decides to sell the land...then when land sells and the title company is doing their part they come across the old bank note (1991) where the money was borrowed and her (ex-wife) signature was on the note (paid off)...does the fact that they borrowed money and used the land as collateral mean now almost 16 years later...the ex-wife may have some rights to the proceeds of the sale???

We didn't go there to save the jews: 6 million were already dead; the French were getting along very well with the Nazis; Pearl Harbor happened after the US made Halliburton type deals with UK; there were almost no "allies" but the US; UK and Australia...10 million young americans were drafted and deployed. I DON'T GET IT.

If 500 suspected terrorists get arrested, and later it turns out that 493 were really hellbent on our destruction, and 7 were either innocent or lacked evidence for conviction. . . . . .. . Did We Gain ? It took 19 terrorists to pull off 9/11 . How many 9/11 type attacks could 493 terrorists pull-off ?

Would you be happier if we didn't arrest the 493 terrorists ?
Are you capable of being PERFECT ?
Our laws aren't even perfect .

Can anyone justify all of the greed involved with any company or any investor who would wage war on the Middle East so they can get richer?
That also includes stockholders in KB&R, The Carlyle Group, and many others who are financially benefitting from this usurping of the Middle East!

I quit smoking yesterday and today I got a speeding tickt for going 131 km's in a 100 zone. I know that is why because I can't think of anything else right now besides smoking and I never speed. This is my first ticket ever. Do you think they will understand and reduce or eliminate the fine or am I just going to be wasting my time?

Inside the classrooms are the hardest to stop crime because cameras can’t be placed in here and some can be used as a place to hang out during break time. How can we stop the vandalism here?

Now Republicans block a Democratically planned Senate debate over Iraq. What does everyone here think of this? That's a beautiful example of the bipartisanship Bush was all teary-eyed over in the SOTU address. Let's have a bipartisan dialogue Bush, yes, let's do that. But first, the Republicans need to be willing to have their feet put to the fire and stand their ground. Instead, they run from debate. It's ironic that those who call liberals "cowards" now wear the label themselves. Yep, guess my position on this one is clear, what's yours?
