Politics & Government - 26 February 2007

I am looking for cases in Kansas in the past few years of which the parents who commited the crime and the child died, got off with little to no sentence. I am trying to make a point that our laws when concerning the abuse/death of a child should change.
Also if anyone knows the name or where i can get information about the death of a child in Gardner Kansas a few years ago where her father killed himself and her on the train tracks i would much appreciate it. I can't even find her name to get info on it.
Thanks again.

Why is Ted Kennedy talking to the Chamber of Commerce?

Why is he getting input from the Chamber of Commerce to write his new immigration proposals? I thought Ted Kennedy was a labor man? Why isn't he getting input from the labor unions?
Is Ted Kennedy part of the humanitarian liberal/labor exploitive capitalist, globalization at all cost, coalition? Is he like the little Gingerbread Boy, jumping on the Fox's nose to cross the river?
Remember the last line of that fairy tale: "And after that, the little Gingerbread Boy never said anything more at all."?

Does Democracy creates problems in the society?

I live in a democratic country. However, thoughts have been confusing my mind why violence occurs in the society where I live. I don't understand why media men are slain in our country, why are witnesses killed when testifying a crime against a powerful individual, and why corruption exists. Does democracy brings this problems

Is it inevitable with the youth of the US that the constitution still needs "tweeking"?

Is that why we keep writing amendments?

How long before all the amendments completely cancel out the original meanings of the constitution?

How relevant is the constitution when a president can come along and write "Acts" that encroach on it? Like The Patriot Act and the 2007 Defense Authorization Act?
