I'm tired of hearing about presidential candidates already. Quite boring because none of them seem appealing to me when there's a war that continues and I know vets who have been to Iraq 2-3 times and are going again. It just isn't right. When they stand at the podiums speaking, all I see is money signs as heads, not people who want to make real changes for everyone in our country.

Ok... so what is this war in Iraq or Iran or that country that begins with an 'I' all about? Why doesn't Bush and America and some other countries just leave that country that the war is all about alone? I DON'T GET IT ANYMORE! ITS ALL TOO CONFUSING! Somebody explain this to me in simpler terms. Are oil and gas the same thing? No nevermind that, about the war thing. So I'm stupid. Ok, just tell me please!

15 years ago a house which was in my name only, I believe was illegally sold by my ex-husband. Is is too late to seek compensation? I believe he had someone pretend to be me since he also tried to get credit under my ss# around the same time which I recently discovered on my credit report. Should I see a lawyer? I don`t have any real money to put out for legal fees. I could really use some feedback.

Should we make it easier for third parties to be able to better contest elections against the Democrats and Republicans? Should we switch to entirely publicly funded elections? Should we adopt the Australian ballot, which uses preferential voting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_voting)? What else should be done?

For example, if the will states that the dead man's million-dollar Stradivari violin and collection of valuable paintings be burned along with his body instead of being donated or sold off, don't you think we should disregard his will?

Sex-Offender Residency Laws Get Second Look
By Wendy Koch
USA Today
(Feb. 26) - Oklahoma state Rep. Lucky Lamons was a police officer for 22 years. He calls himself a "lock-'em-up kind of guy."

Yet Lamons wants to loosen his state's law that bans registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or day care center. He says it forces many offenders to live in rural areas where they are difficult for authorities to monitor. Also, he says, it does not differentiate between real predators and the type of men he recalls arresting for urinating in public, a sex offense in Oklahoma.

"We need to focus on people we're afraid of, not mad at," says Lamons, a Tulsa Democrat who wants the rules to focus more on high-risk offenders.

Lamons is among a growing number of officials who want to ease the "not-in-my-backyard" policies that communities are using to try to control sex offenders. In the past decade, 27 states and hundreds of cities have reacted to public fear of sex crimes against children by passing residency restrictions that, in some cases, have the effect of barring sex offenders from large parts of cities. They can't live in most of downtown Tulsa, Atlanta or Des Moines, for example, because of overlapping exclusion zones around schools and day care centers.

Now a backlash is brewing. Several states, including Iowa, Oklahoma and Georgia, are considering changes in residency laws that have led some sex offenders to go underground. Such offenders either have not registered with local police as the laws require or they have given fake addresses. Many complain they cannot find a place to live legally.

The push to ease residency restrictions has support from victims' advocates, prosecutors and police who say they spend too much time investigating potential violations.

They're battling a mountain of momentum, however, because residency restrictions remain popular.

New or expanded ones have been proposed in 20 states this year. Some legislators are reluctant to pare back restrictions they passed only recently.

Will it be better? Worse? Same? How will society change from the way it has been, when someone else takes office? Who do you think is worthy for office?

I've been in the Army reserve for 6 years now and I hoped to complete my last two years in the IRR but my unit refuse to put me in the IRR. I got upset and refused to drill anymore. My contract, that I signed said I could do my last two years in the IRR. I understand that the world has changed since I signed my contract, but is there a way to complete my last two years without drilling. I heard that if I complete enough correspondence courses online to get 50 retirement points per year, I will have a good year. Can this method be used to satisfy my last two years of requirement?
