Politics & Government - 16 March 2007

I'm currently applying for my Class D license in New York State. One of the requirements is attendance at a five hour class on driving safety. Those classes are given by driving schools, for a fee of $ 35, and you can pick whatever school you want.

I went to a driving school, paid my fee, and, instead of getting a five hour class, I watched videtapes about driving safety for about an hour, and then they called me to the outer office, gave me my certificate and sent me on my way.

They did this with the other four students too - and with two other people who didn't even come in and watch the videos!

Was it right for them to give me a certificate for a class that I didn't complete?

Should I report them to NYS DMV?

Or should I just shut up and keep my certificate?

of 23 year old Sean Bell? Do you think that the fact that there were 50 shots, instead of maybe 10 impacts your decision, and what do you think about the 4th person who allegedly fired shots in the direction of the officers?

Why does everyone in the White House have such "hazy memories" as Presidential press secretary Tony Snow put it.

Snow's comments came hours after the Justice Department released e-mails Thursday night pulling the White House deeper into an intensifying investigation into whether eight firings were a purge of prosecutors deemed unenthusiastic about presidential goals. Will Gonzales be the fall guy?

Utter Chaos! Continuous pandemonium over silly issues,! Parochial flavour to all issues! Frequent adjournments! Failure to enforce discipline! Poor role model to citizens in discipline and administrative capability! Wastage of sweat money contributed by the people to run it! A skeletal caricature of legislative set up! Empty seats; dozing members, Shouting and screaming crowds in the Well - Helpless look of a once-great parliamentarian in the Presiding seat! Have a look; comment; suggest remedies and highlight some existing positive sides if any. Lileeann33

Considering the Bush/GOP admin. condones and approves of the widespread release of such info. it should be accessible to everyone and anyone. And likewise - I would like the list to cover all public and covert agents working across the globe as well as telling me what their missions are. I need to be assured my taxes are not going to waste.

Is the border wall more like:

a) The concrete barrier on freeways between eastbound and westbound traffic

b) The concrete barrier between the Carpool lane and the regular, congested lanes

c) The ornate fence around upscale gated communtities (you can come in with permission

or

d) The Berlin Wall (remember: no communications whatever were allowed over that wall and it divided not only a single country or state but went straight thru school districts, neighborhoods, etc. A border wall would be between two distinct nations.)

Donald Trump is often quoted as saying the war in Iraq is a disaster, Secretary of State Rice cannot close a deal. "She gets on the plane, waves, takes pics with national figures chats, gets back on the plane, and waves some more. Nothing is happening with her."

Trump talks of politics and says he has ruled out a run for public office even though he has been asked many times to declare his candidacy. Yet, Trump consistently talks politics and voices his opinion regarding national issues. He proudly talks about his ratings on "The Apprentice" as being high and his real estate investments are booming.

Would Donald Trump make a good candidate for public office...?

Should Donald Trump run for any office and what office would you like to see him seek...?

I think they sent out a warrant for me because I road away on a neighbors friends bicycle in their yard when I was drunk at college. Does anyone know what the crime offense is for stealing a bike? I just dumped it in a yard, i didnt resell it or anything.

My husband and I are have been going through IVF, so we could have a baby, and I need to stay in the area. It is not possible for me to start it over again in another place, because the doctors told me I have to do this as soon as possible, because I have a few numbers from my blood test that are borderline for the program.

How hard would it be to be classified as an exceptional family member, so we could stay where we are?

By the way, there is a slot opening up where we are at, and it pretty much is down to my husband or this other guy getting this slot.

The man was a marxist murderer from a rich family. He helped foment a revolution in a country that wasn't his, killed innocent people without trial in cold blood, suppressed free speech and and the liberties of students by censoring collegiate activity, cheated on his wife, and helped turn Cuba into the dump it is today with communist economic policies. So why do college kids love him so?
