Politics & Government - 1 March 2007

I wanted to build a new fence between our house and a neighbor. I got a permit to do it. However, before I got a chance to talk to the neighbor, the contractor tear down my neighbor's old fence w/o my knowledge. Once I found out, I tried to talk to my neighbor about it to remedy the problem but they wouldn't talk to me. I wanted to let them know that I can do whatever it takes to make them happy. However, they wouldn't listen and try to call the police accusing me of vandalism, tress passing, and harrassment. What can I do? I got a feeling that they are going to sue me. I really don't want to go that route. Can I just forget about it and let the contractor deal with it since it's their fault in the first place?

Are these the reasons why Rush is considered the greatest Scientist in the world by smarter Americans?

1. He think that all handicap Americans are a joke

2. He tested Viagra and drugs on himself in the Caribbeans

3. He know that he will glide across the sky with God when the world turn into hell

4. Global warming jokes = $$$ from corporations that pollute

5. Killing sea turtles should be consider a sport for rich, fat Americans who live near the sea

I keep seeing the word conspiracy theory here on YA and I keep thinking that in any conspiiracy there must be some element of truth. When someone claims that 9/11 (i use this only as an example) was an inside job the governement and government controlled media simply label it a conspiracy theory which resigns a possible truth to the rubbish bin of "never investigated journalism".

The words conspiracy theory have such stigma attached to them - making people who believe them seem like crack pots, wierdos, lunatics - that using this label is a simple way for governments to cover-up pretty much anything they want.

If you are going to tell a lie make it a big whopping unbelievable lie. They are the sort of lies people believe. Lies like Saddam has WMDs that can hit the US at any time. The bigger and scarier, the more chance of success. A Lie behind a conspiracy theory has to be so unbelievable to the public to work - Hitler & the Reichstag, the US govt and 9/11????

Muggings are up from 90,000 to 98,000 and the advice given is not to use portable phones and I-pods on the street, is this all we can hope for. Advice on hiding? Totally ridiculous, the British image takes another battering, why don't the police use those cctv cameras to watch crime spots or don't the cameras work so well in broad daylight. What about stop and searches? was a time when you would be stopped and searched for offensive weapons. The Goverment will protect you from 2nd hand smoke but not from blade attacks. Glad I dumped that country for a safer place.

His quote:

'Americans "are very frustrated," he said, "and they have every right to be. We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives, over there." '

Ive been saying this for years, saying the lives of our troops have been wasted, thrown away for a nothing war. Yet I get shot down in flames on here when I say it.

I hope those of you who condemn me for saying these words, also condemn McCain for using them as well.

The reality is people we have to stop burying our head in the sand and pretending that just because they are dying over there we should kid ourselves its for a worthy cause.

I would rather our troops were alive and back over here, than dead fighting to control a bunch of squabbling Iraqis.

Why does the average person feel like they as an individual cannot change the world? Why does the average person feel powerless and helpless? And why do these people perpetuate this feeling by enforcing it in their daily lives...by saying it..by acting on it...and by thinking it.

Has all of humanity bought into the power structure? Have we all just decided we are individually worthless...and just waiting for the moment for a "leader" for someone to bring change to the world and make everything perfect so that you may follow him? Some great leader that will never exist....because he is impossible....


There is only one hope...its you. You need to stop thinking that one person is helpless. You need to realize that every great person that every fought for anything meaningful was just one person like you. Just a human being that doesn't need anything but their pure force of will.

So what will it be Earth? Will we stay worthless as they want us to? Or will we rise up?

Church-State Question Before Justices

By Joan Biskupic, USA TODAY

(Feb. 28) - The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation has sued to get rid of crosses in city parks, to end Good Friday public holidays and, most vigorously, to thwart President Bush's faith-based initiative.

Now, the group that for 30 years has sought a firm divide between church and state will be at the Supreme Court on Wednesday in a case that could affect taxpayers' ability to challenge - and government's ability to defend - a multitude of public programs that involve groups with a religious affiliation.

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives was set up in 2001 to help religious groups compete with secular organizations for federal grants to provide social services.

The case before the justices focuses on regional conferences that promoted the initiative. The Freedom From Religion Foundation likened the conferences to "revival meetings" and said they boosted the grant prospects for religious groups "without similar advocacy for secular community-based organizations."

The legal question is not whether those conferences violated the constitutional separation of church and state, but more fundamentally when a taxpayer may even get into court to challenge such mingling of government and religion.

It's a question that could have national significance. Numerous outside groups have joined both sides of the case. Twelve states, backing the Bush administration, are trying to block the lawsuit. On the other side are atheists and religious organizations such as the American Jewish Congress and the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.

"If the Bush administration were to prevail," says Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, "nobody would be able to challenge these programs. We feel that our litigation and educational efforts have never been more important."
