Politics & Government - 20 February 2007

In a recent answer, someone wrote that they believe that the people should support the President during war regardless of whether the people believe the war to be justified or not. If the administration's motives for going to war are not in line with the best intrest of the country, why 'must' the people obediently support them? To blindly follow a president no matter what he says or does is tantamount to treason. A nation should never follow the leaders, the leaders should follow the people.

I sent 5 postcards overseas today, the lady at the post office told me each stamp would be 24 cents. Turns out that is the price for sending them within the US. These were headed out to Germany, Finland, the The Netherlands.

Will these still make it to their planned destinations? Will the recipient have to pay the extra to get them?

They had no return address.

If you haven't heard, the Supreme Court just denied the right of habeas corpus to foreign detainees. This basically means that NOBODY has habeas corpus, because the government can now remove anyone from the country, claim that they are an enemy combatant, not a US citizen, and the person will never get a chance to demonstrate otherwise in a court of law. So an 800 year old right (Magna Carta, 1215 AD) just went down the drain. Isn't that horrifying? And, did you know, at least two senators said they only voted for the Military Commisions Act of 2006 because they assumed the Supreme Court would overturn it? Isn't that outrageous?

My grandfather died about 2 weeks ago. His woman and he were not married until the day we found out there was no help for him, On that Day that woman went and filled her bride and groom copy of the marriage licence, my grandfather took the originals and no one know what he did with them. He had no will, and we have to go through probate court. The woman has already started selling his things. Is she legally allowed to do that? I thought that everyone had to wait until probate. At any rate the real question is: Can anyone tell me how we can go about filling to be the executive over his estate? My father is the most responsible of the siblings, so it has been decided that he will start the proceedures. We just don't know where to go from here. Any help will be apprciated.

There's no way she would lose--everyone loves that family. Who better to be the first female president--the second only to be a Catholic president.

Unfortunately, she really likes to lead a private life--but her children must be getting much older by now, she'd be a shoe-in.

Many of the hometowns of the war dead aren't just small, they're poor. The CNN News analysis found that nearly 75% of those killed in Iraq came from towns where the per capita income was below the national average. More than half came from towns where the percentage of people living in poverty topped the national average. No rich people from expensive areas joined the military.

March 20, 1968 - Clinton, age 21, is classified 1-A, eligible for induction, as he nears graduation- [Wash Post Sep 13 92]
Comment: Bill Clinton was the only man of his prime draft age classified1-A by that draft board in 1968 whose pre-induction physical examination was put off for 10.5 months. This delay was more than twice as long as anyone else and more than five times longer than most area men of comparable eligibility. -[LA Times Sep 02 92]
Summer 1968 - Political and family influence keeps Clinton out of the draft. Robert Corrado -- the only surviving Hot Springs draft board member from that period -- concluded that Clinton's draft statement (the long delays) was the result of "some form of preferential treatment." According to the Times, "Corrado recalled that the chairman of the three-man draft panel ... once held back Clinton's file with the explanation that 'we've got to give him time to go to Oxford,' where the semester began in the fall of 1968

Do you base your rationale on the fact that its a womens issue or are you really looking at it from both the babies perspective and the womens?

I find it hard to dismiss the idea that the only reason abortion is legal and so many people are pro-choice is because of the polically correct who base their decision on the inferiority complex associated with it being a womens rights issue.

Essentially pro-choice is not about abortion but about women vs mens rights.

Can anyone agree/disagree?
