Politics & Government - 6 April 2007

How's this for "an inconvenient truth?" Al Gore has many mansions across the USA. While he's flying around in his private jet telling us to conserve energy, just one of his mansions sucks up more energy in one month than the average American home consumes in an entire year.

Bush's Texas ranch is as green as you can get. It uses geothermal heat pumps, collects rain water, and purifies its own waste water.

So, who really cares about the environment and who is using it as a political stepping stone?

I beleive that our borders should be enforced. Anyone entering this country must do it legally. Its estimated that 20 million illegal aliens are in our country. And the politicians in power don't seem to want to do anything about it.

It seems like Sean Hannity of FOX NEWS (March 05/2007) and Oliver North did not like the way the British sailors were released. They argued that British negotiations for the captives had only set the stage for more seizures. Recall that Oliver North had a role in the Iran Contra affair 20 years ago, for which he was indicted on 16 felony counts and convicted of three – later overturned on a technicality. Since then he has not held any position in foreign policy.

Plus they forgot to mention that North had no problem selling Iran TONS of weaponry in 1985-1986 in return for the release of American hostages.

doesn’t that make it wrong for senators to oppose political appointees over theirs?

GW's Texas ranch is the perfect example of what Gore says we should be doing. Gore's mansions are the perfect example of what he accuses others of doing.

Who is really looking out for the environment, and who is an energy hog? Really. Check it out...

Hello, I would like to set up a living trust. I have two questions.
1. I 'd like to prepare the document myself. Where do i get the template? I was told this site - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010014711033.aspx?pid=CT101435131033
But I don't know which form is for living trust for a single person w/o children.
2. Do I need a lawyer to record this or just have it notarized? If I only need it notarized, where do i record it to make it legal? Thank you.

I have been having a dispute with my landlord. I pay my rent on time every single month. However, she still complains to me about every little thing. Isn't this bordering on harassment? It's like leave me alone, I pay my rent on time so why are you bothering me. I am getting to the point that I want to take this person to court because of the mental anguish that she has caused. Anyone knows of any qualified attorney that would take this case?

I have calls 4 times a day on two phone numbers asking for me by my married name. I answered the phone today mostly because this is driving me crazy having all of these unknown number phone calls. The woman tried to make it sound like a family member was having an emergency and she needed contact phone numbers for my mother and father. I was concerned because my brother is in the army and thought it might have something to do with him. I give her my mother's number and tell her I don't have my father's and then she starts asking for addresses and where they work and all sorts of those type of questions (none of which I gave a direct answer to) and when I tell her I'm not telling her anything else until she tells me who she is with and what this is regarding. She responded "it is regarding a pending legal matter" After the call I research it and find out its a used car lot.My parents have been divorced for over 14 years Would this debt be invalid now? How can I make them stop callingme

If you are a supporter of either party...
Do you really believe that your party will actually do a good job, or do you just think they will screw things up less than the other party would?

There are people who will vote for someone because of how they look or where there from or probably because of the shoes they wear. Not knowing the facts about anything going on.

After being totally rejected in 2006 midterms, where do you see Repubs now? The commonly accepted stages of grieving are:

Shock
Denial
Anger
Guilt
Depression
Acceptance
Growth

I'm still seeing a lot of Denial here. I know they were shocked, but I figure they would have moved on a little further down the process by now.

First let me say I am not saying all LIBERALS ok. I am saying there are some liberals who believe in conspiracies such as Roswell and little tiny aliens; but are 100% willing to hate people of religion and it makes no sense to me. So I am asking why is this?

http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/05/news/international/iraq_oil/index.htm

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Despite claims by some critics that the Bush administration invaded Iraq to take control of its oil, the first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq's new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

While Iraqi lawmakers struggle to pass an agreement on exactly who will award the contracts and how the revenue will be shared, experts say a draft version that passed the cabinet earlier this year will likely uphold agreements previously signed by those countries under Saddam Hussein's government.

when talking about the legitimaccy of christianity the christian usually cites as proof the fact that 2 billion people are wrong and a few scientists are right?

If that was indeed true then a billion muslim followers also "prove" that Islam is true.
The same can be said for other religions as well

If science is right then religion is wrong . I have heard more then once that God is in control of the climate from several conservatives . The same people who also say the earth is only 10,000 or so years old and was made by God .
So science is out the window no matter what they say .
For the religious right it is all about the bible and Jesus .
You just can not argue with complete and total ignorance .
