hubby has been on the ship since tuesday. He has his first inspection next week in his dress whites and got some new "patches" to attach with the name of the ship on em. He was talking to a fellow shipmate in his division and telling him he had no clue where to get the uniform taken care of/ pressed etc...well just then his 1st class superior officer came in and offered to take it for him into where he takes it and said "you are part of the club now i will take it in for you" and so hubby let him handle it. AFter he had 2nd thoughts about this. He is wondering if this was a safe idea or not because he was told not to do "business" with his fellow sailors. Is his superior going to "teach him a lesson"? or do you think he is being sincere and helping him out.

According to Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Board Chairman, congressional testimony, July 2001, "undocumented workers contribute more than their fair share to our great country". He continued to inform Congress that immigrants, including undocumented workers, in essence donate $27 billion to state and local economies.
This is the difference between what they pay in taxes $70 billion and what they use in services $43 billion. Greenspan also testified that in Illinois alone "Illegal workers pay $547 million in taxes yearly, compared to $238 million in services used." This is a net "profit" for Illinois of $309 million.

I mean come on this is not a good place to see what people think about candidates. Hillary will have a lot of support from moderates voters who arn't over critical of everything. George Bush's presidency will be fresh in voters minds (which is not a good thing) take last years election. People were very dissatified with republicans and thats not going to change with a snap of a finger. Republicans said John Kerry was a joke and wouldnt even get close to winning, but look how close the election was. I personally won't vote for Hillary in the primary because she is not my favorite candidate, but I will almost surely vote for her in the general if she were to be the candidate. I'm just tired of people acting like she has no chance. If she is up against Rudy or John Mccain it will be just as close as the last two presidential elections I guarantee it.

Begining next year, Americans can still enter Canada without thier American passport, but won't be allowed to return to America without it. Getting an American passport is an unbelieveable hassle and few people get them unless they have to. What will this do to the travel and tourism industry in Canada? All these redneck Americans who hunt and fish in Canada are not going to wait around for fancy passports, and people with large families will be turned off by the cost of getting everyone in the family a passport. Soon enough, Americans will need "papers" to travel from state to state. This is becomeing a really sucky place to live.

Police Bust Suspected Armed Kidnapping Syndicate

PHOENIX -- Phoenix police on Thursday announced the arrests of six people in connection with the armed kidnapping of undocumented immigrants.
Police said the Phoenix Gun Squad and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officials developed information on a possible criminal syndicate that may have been responsible for armed kidnappings of human smugglers and their live cargo on Valley freeways.
Investigators determined that 27-year-old Pablo Duran Guzman and his group were profiling possible victims by cruising Valley freeways.
At 11 p.m. Wednesday, officials said a Phoenix police helicopter spotted Guzman and three others, 26-year-old Jesus Avena-Pina, 31-year-old Alvaro Avena-Acuna and 26-year-old Javier Gerardo Perez, driving eastbound on Interstate 10 in a large pickup.
Police said the suspects rammed another large pickup, forcing it to exit the freeway at Warner Road.
The second pickup came to a stop about one block east of the freeway.
Officers were following the helicopter's directions to the scene, but before they could get there, police said the suspects forced 15 people from the rammed pickup into their own pickup at gunpoint and fled on eastbound Interstate 10.
They left the victims' pickup on Warner Road.
Police said the helicopter followed the suspects' pickup to a home near 35th Avenue and Osborn Road.
Officers said they entered the home to find Guzman's companions and 15 undocumented immigrants. The suspects were arrested and the immigrants were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Police said Guzman had left the house by himself and was arrested at an apartment near 24th Street and Thomas Road.
Detectives said further information led them to another location near Pierce and 13th streets, where they arrested Eleo Marin Garcia and Thomas Castillo Garcia, both 29.
Police said no one was injured during the operation.
Investigators said Wednesday night's arrests do not appear to be connected to similar incidents in the Valley, including an armed kidnapping at 50th Street and Ray Road two weeks ago.
Search warrants were served Thursday at the three locations where the arrests were made.
The suspects face multiple charges including kidnapping and possible weapons violations.

Many people have been saying that illegal drugs should be made legal because this would make their value go way down and ruin the drug dealers. Sure it sounds like a good idea; however this idea is not thought all the way through. If illegal drugs were made legal, the drug dealers would have to get their money in another way. Remember that most dealers are street smart not school smart. This means that most drug dealers would get new jobs as bank robbers or scam artists. This would be disasterious because then inocent people would be getting hurt instead of the pot heads who buy the drugs. I say, let drug dealers work togeather with drug attics and make money that way instead of allowing dealers to get money in an even more dirty way.

Pullout by fall 2008
By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON - In a direct challenge to President Bush, House Democrats unveiled legislation Thursday requiring the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the fall of next year. The White House said Bush would veto it.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the deadline would be added to legislation providing nearly $100 billion the Bush administration has requested for fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
---By the fall of 2008, the US will have caused, directly or indirectly, even more massive destruction of much of Iraq's infrastructure anyway. This attempted measure does nothing other than to provide fodder for even more destruction, much less untold deaths on all sides.
No matter their proposals, none of them have come up with a plan that will strip this president of self-imposed power. In fact, most of them probably woudn't know if we paid them.
Woe be unto all of us.

Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the removal of Saddam, the Ba'ath party was completely removed from all power, including public schools, and banned from participating in the government, including the police. Some say that this excluded skilled people from participating in the new government. It also removed much of the people in charge of things like the police force.
What are your thoughts on the removal of the Ba'ath Party in Iraq?

The main purpose of the 2nd amendment is so that citizens have guns and are thus able to defend themselvs against a tyranical government. This was the purpose of the founding fathers and the framers of the constitution. However it seems that with each passing year, there are more and more gun restrictions. Think about this if you will in another more personal way. We know that there are rapists and murderers out there. So what is a women to do when she is confronted with a man who wants to do her harm? If she has no gun then she is pretty much defenceless. I on the other hand am a man; therefore I am fully capeable of physically defending myself. But what if the man wants to rob me. With out a gun, I am powerless to stop it. The police can not protect us at all times and by taking away our rights to carry guns we become more like subjects than citizens.

Just wondering what people thought of the government scheme to microchip people. Would you mind having a small implant under your skin so you never got lost and they could easily identify you when you had to go to the docs? Or even better... you'd never need to carry any money or documents with you.
Or... is it a complete infringement on your rights as a human being?
