"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared".

Lots of people obviously have forgotten how to drive, why cant we have mandatory tests every 10 years or so, then around age 60 every 5 years or so?

When Christmas rolls around you see thousands of ads of merchandise being sold sometimes 10x the actual market price and there are never criminal prosecutions of those transaction but Sporting and Entertainment tickets are place into a special category and considered criminal if you try and sell above their face value in many States. Many believe its to protect the state and local tax revenue but when doesn't paying your local or state taxes become criminal? they place liens on homeowners or garnish future returns, wages but they do not arrest you or many business owners, politicians would be in jail.

Keynesian economics is in fact superior to tax cuts for the rich, cut programs for the poor, trickle down, "voodoo", Reaganomics.

And I got the stats to back this up.

Do you think that this Edwards county deputy should have been charged with a crime ?
Did you watch Americas Most wanted last night ?

Short synopsis of case:
Gilmer stopped a car for running a stop sign in his town. When he was standing by the car after it pulled over the driver suddenly turned the car sharply towards Gilmer amost hitting him as it sped off. Gilmer shot out the one tire and tried to shoot our the other in order to stop the SUV. Only 4 shots were fired. The SUV was carrying illegal aliens being smuggled into the US. One of the four shots caused a bullet fragment to enter into a womans lips causing her to lose 2 teeth,she was treated and then released the next day from the hospital. The prosecution headed by Texas AG Jonny Sutton charged Gilmer with violating the illegal alien womans civil rights and wanted Gilmer to serve 7 to 10 years..
If you are commiting a crime,any crime you take the chance of being injurded. What crime did Gilmer commit ? His job?

I Have been on probation since June 2005. My first probation officer was wonderful. I felt like I could talk to him about anything. In Feburary this year i got a call that he was no longer my officer and that I was getting a new one. I met my new one the first week of Feb. He is nothing like my other one. One night at 11:00 he called my house while I was in the shower and left a message. I called the only number I have when I got out of the shower, which is the office number and I left a message. The following day he called asking where I was and I told him. I also told him that I was in the process of moving due to our landlords selling the house we were renting. He asked where and I gave him the address and he said it was ok since it was still in the same area. Today(march 25) he showed up at my house telling me i never told him i was moving and he put me on a curfew. Now i have to go to a meeting with him and someone else tomarrow. Can I request a different officer?

In the town where I live I have heard the almost unbelievable story many times from different women.

The women say that the police kept ticketing them while they were driving. Their fines ended up so high, that the only way they could pay them off is to work for Catholic Charities.

Please don't think I mean anything against Catholic's to tell you this. They may be more of a victim in this as well, somehow.

One of the victim's of this also told me the police went as far as to tell her she would never see her license again if she did not cooperate.

She has worked all her life and finally retired, but now she is a volunteer, she figures for the rest of her life.

All of these women seem to share at least one trait in common. They all live in assisted public housing.

They also claim this happened from many little nuisance charges that added up.

In other words, they were all basically innocent of any big accident or event. What can they do?

Most Americans believe that Lawyers are crooked, but most politicians are Lawyers. Most Americans wouldnt want the prom king from their highschool running this country, but politics is nothing more than a glorified popularity contest, not who is the right person for the job.

I met a poster who brought this up and was ridiculed for it. Illegal Immigrants are draining America's capacity to exist. Any children they have are US citizens. It is a myth that American industries are dependent on them. Things would just cost more and we would save and buy less which is good for the planet. I'd like you to take a look at the Diversity alliance. http://www.diversityalliance.org/
I am the descendant of immigrants and am not against immigration. I'm just against not controlling the US nd world population.

how do you feel about this

DALTON, Georgia (AP) -- A former 911 operator was convicted Saturday of murdering her boyfriend by poisoning him with antifreeze.

Lynn Turner could face a death sentence in the 2001 killing of Randy Thompson, a Forsyth County firefighter and the father of her two children. The same jury that convicted her must decide whether to impose that sentence.

She is already serving a life sentence for the 1995 death of her husband, Glenn Turner, a Cobb County police officer. The murder charge in Thompson's death was filed after that 2004 conviction.

The trial went to the jury Saturday morning following closing arguments on Friday.

Turner, who had maintained her innocence in both cases, did not testify in either trial.

In closing arguments Friday, District Attorney Penny Penn said the motive in both cases was Turner's greed for the victims' life insurance money.

Lawyers for Turner, 38, rested their case earlier Friday after a defense toxicologist testified that while one of the victims showed signs of antifreeze poisoning the other did not, casting doubt on the prosecution theory that the deaths were similar.

Defense lawyers have argued there's no direct evidence proving murder.

Police didn't launch a criminal investigation of the deaths until a few months after Thompson died.

Prosecutors said tests on their bodies showed they were poisoned with ethylene glycol, a sweet but odorless chemical in antifreeze. During Turner's 2004 trial they suggested it could have been placed in foods such as Jell-O.

Penn said during her closing argument Friday that even though no one saw her do it, Turner was the last person with both men before they became ill and was the last person to give them anything to eat or drink.

Defense lawyer Vic Reynolds said the prosecution's evidence adds up to character assassination, not murder. "They can predict. They can assume, but that isn't the law," Reynolds said.
