My babys father is in Iraq right now and he denies her. He wouldnt take a paternity test before he left and I am hurting financially. He wont even be back for another 5 months and Im really needing his help now, our baby is already 7 months old!! Someone told me that since the soldiers have their blood taken and stored that I might be able to request having the test done using that. Im having doubts about that though, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about that....

Fort Wayne, Indiana legislators have just passed an inane no-smoking law that will take effect June 1. Like many other cities around the nation, these local legislators have taken away one more freedom of choice.
I'm 63 years old, and have never smoked in my life. However, I'm considering starting to smoke just so I can see how many times I'll be arrested and fined....AND see how many hours of precious law enforcement time can be wasted on such a trivial and insipid law.
If lawmakers truly want to ban smoking because of the health risks, why not ban the manufacture, distribution and sale of cigarettes instead of making it illegal for citizens to use a product that is perfectly legal and readily available?
Could it be that lawmakers are too cowardly to stand up to the tobacco industry and the billions of tax dolalrs generated by the sale of cigarettes? I'll be 'lighting up' as often as I can, keeping the 'cigarette police' busy while they ignore the rapists, murderers and robbers. -RKO-

i really dont get it. if iraq was about removing a tyrant from power, wmds, and protect the gulf for its heavy duty oil interests, we should really invade the entire middle east too. how come only iraq? and what about iran? who clearly supports terrorism and provide hezbollah and terrorists in iraq with training, money, and weapons.
how come we have not done anything about darfur, sundan? is it because they dont have any oil? because they're not in a strategic oil location bush cant do anything?
is it because
1. bush has (now had) a personal hate agenda vs saddam for trying to kill bush sr.
and
2. counterpart buddy cheney was CEO of halliburton, biggest war profiteer on this war on terrorism?
