I'm doing a science fair project on incentive and wanted to decorate it with something. Dollar bills? Would that be illegal? Does anyone have other ideas?

A Minnesota lawmaker wants people to pay more for their nips and tucks by extending Minnesota's 6.5 percent sales tax to elective cosmetic surgery.
At a hearing Monday, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, said the state already taxes spa treatments and fitness programs that people use to improve their appearance, so why not procedures for the perfect nose, lips or skin? The tax could generate $7 million, she said, but have a minimal effect on Minnesota's poor or working families.
"There aren't a lot of homeless people and there aren't a lot of people who don't have enough money for food who are getting optional cosmetic surgery," she said.
The proposed tax would apply to hair transplants, laser hair removal, cosmetic injections and other elective procedures but not to reconstructive procedures such as those for burn or accident victims.

Okay, Britain is our most valued ally and most loyal coalition force in Iraq. When the war began, Britain committed 40,000 troops to this effort. That number is now 7,100, and Blair's recent announcement will reduce that number even more. Complete withdrawal is possible by the end of the year. Bush claims that this action is a "sign of success". Wait a minute. Won't it "embolden the enemy"? Isn't withdrawal before the job is done, a "sign of weakness"? Won't the terrorists "follow the British troops home"? Other countries with lesser forces are also pulling out. Why are we sending 21,000 more troops to Iraq, while Britain and others redeploy? Clearly, President Bush is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Why are the rules and consequences different for our allies?

You have to eliminate the major flaws like corrupt Business & Government! Eliminate our wealthy elite puppet masters restore inclusion to the commoners! Role reversal is needed they are supposed to be serving YOU not us being the wage-slaves of exclusion. You have to amend the constitution ending representative government in its current role. Replace with majority rule & control by the legal citizens.

George Lucas made Star Wars, so does that make him an expert on Space Travel?
Why isn't George Lucas petitioning the US government to start producing light sabers?
Just because you made a movie about something doesn't mean you know anything about it. Besides, I think Star Wars is more of a documentary than Al Gore's movie.

The idea is they are renting a flat from an estate agent, and renting out a room of that flat for personal profit and do not pay tax on that.
They also do regular cash in hand work (which of course is tax free) and have two part time jobs.
Oh - and if they have dependents how are they affected?

Countries are spending huge amount on developing weapons with more and more advanced technology. The countries men are paying taxes out of their hard earned income and a large percentage of it is spending on Arms and Ammunitatios. If the same amount is spent on education, science and technology, human development and environment conservation, then it will be more beneficial for the society of developing and under developed countries. With right education people of different religion and region would understand each other better hence it will spread harmony and peace among them.

The other night I was leaving a movie theater with my boyfriend and I was pulled over. The officer said he pulled me over because my license plate frame was partially covering one of the letters on the license plate. When he came up to the window he asked me to get out of the car and he showed me the plate. Then he asked me if I had been drinking, where I was coming from, going to, etc. I told him no drinking, coming from the movies, etc. Then he had me follow the flashlight with my eyes, took my pulse three times once on my wrist, then my arm, then my neck, made me close my eyes and "imagine what 30 seconds would be." Never asked for an i.d. Finally he asked my boyfriend for his i.d. Had him get out of the car. Asked me how long we had been together, did we like the movie, etc. Then asked to search the car. I said yes, he did and he searched my purse. Never asked me for i.d. or registration. Then just told me I could go. All this took over an hour. Is this normal?

Porn DVD Screams Prompt Sword 'Rescue'
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 12:53 PM EST
The Associated Press
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. (AP) — A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.
"Now I feel stupid," said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. "This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake."

Would-Be Rescuer
James Van Iveren, charged with three criminal counts

Buy a link here"It was a woman screaming," he recalled Tuesday. "She was screaming for help."
Sword in hand, he bounded up the stairs, kicked in the door and confronted a man who turned out to be alone - watching a pornographic movie.
"Now I feel stupid," Van Iveren said.
Worse yet, police seized his sword - a family heirloom - carted him to jail and referred the case to a prosecutor who charged Van Iveren with three criminal counts.

I would be really, really embarrassed, but I don't see why they would charge him with a crime. Still, he should have called 911.

In all 50 states, the legal age is generally different than the drinking age. This leads me to ask you:
Would you vote to make them both the same ?
Which age would you pick :18 or 21 ?
Would you vote for it to be the standard throughout the 50 states rather than have so many different ones ?

We just moved into the house December 06. My husband drives a large truck for a living and we need to make a larger driveway so he can park the vehicle at night. Are we legally able to ask them to remove the mailboxes if they hinder the use of our property. I know all mailboxes must be on the right side of the road. Currently their mailbox is almost two houses down from their entry way. In front of my neighbors house would be the most logical place for their mailbox. FYI, the mailbox belongs to my sister in law's grandmother and mother, who are very difficult people to get along with, but we must do so for the sake of my brother. We really need the new driveway, what should we do??

The Home office is to advise the police not to handle complaints from the public of bank card theft, but to recommend the victim to contact the bank. It is then for the bank to inform the police (presumably in bulk for statistical purposes) What do you think?

Every Human the Right to live. And I believe right to live can be snathed easily...and is snatched. But there is another right too. The right to die..And...No-one in the world has yet been able to snatch this.
When someone is oppressed...there are 3 options that someone can chose..
1.Resists...and tries to fight
2. Harms himself...usually commits suicide
3. Bears and does not react
Now Imagine the circumstances under which a person is forced to commit Suicide....or Violently reacts...rebels are good examples...
But in todays life we see a 4rth kind of reaction...where...he responds in two ways at the same time..the first two reactions..
He fights and tries to retreat...take revenge and
At the same time he finishes his life...ends his sufferings.
This makes him the worlds most dangerous person..as no-one can stop him...No one can snatch the right to die.
Why dont we realise.. Let them live...otherwise
they will die??
Do you agree???
