My Grandfather died and left his shop building to my father and my aunt. Since then Dad died and his share went to my two brothers and I. My aunt died and her share went to her two surviving children whom I have never met or know their whereabouts. I have paid the property tax on this for the past ten years. How do I get full ownership of this property?

Hillary has a section on her website, called "pets for hillary".

I sent in a picture of a snake, with a note saying, "this is my son, Karl's, pet boa constrictor, Marx" Hoping they would print "Karl's Marx, is for Hillary" (as they had done with most other animals).

Do you think they worded this way on purpose, or do you think they had no clue, and got lucky?

Where did that go to, what about all of this security in the sky and on the land and all over the place, is that to make you more secure or what is that for in your oppinion? Can you tell me how you feel about that? They have drones that can see in the night now and they have air controls that can shout messages to the ground, they have secure drivers liscensing, they have the radios and televisions to send out instant messages, they have trackers, they have security cameras, they have data bases, they have lots of things, they can even intercept your mail now. How might that affect you? They have changed the laws as to what can be used as evidence in a court of law or not. Ever think about any of this stuff? Does it make our country more secure or less?

HOw funny is this? The feds want to prosecute Ed Rosenthal again even though they looked foolish in the first case. The funniest part is the majority of Americans use marijuana. Even if he is found guilty he won't spend time in jail. What a joke.
Look at the following

Feds To Continue Case Against Bay Area Pot King
(AP) SAN FRANCISCO Federal prosecutors said Friday they would retry marijuana grower Ed Rosenthal on cultivation charges, even after a federal judge urged them to drop the case and chastised the government for lodging charges solely to punish the self-proclaimed "guru of ganja."

U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer demanded to know who in the Department of Justice decided to continue pursuing Rosenthal, who had his original conviction overturned last year.

Rosenthal can't be sentenced to prison even if he is convicted because the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the one-day prison sentence ordered by Breyer in 2003.

If you google "Stanley Hilton" you should be able to see the lawsuit that is pending against President Bush. Apparently Stanley has documented proof that shows how President Bush was actually the "Mastermind" of 911 and how he co-ordinated events with his brother Marvin Bush and Larry Silverstein. Anyone have any further information about this?

Bush will hire Mossad to set off a nuke on U.S. soil....most likely the east coast. It will be smuggled in on a fishing vessel.
Bush will declare marshall law.

A confession tape will come forward with Osama Bin Laden claiming full credit for the attack.

Several members from intelligent agencies will come forward with proof that Iran has been harboring Osama Bin Laden for the last 5 years and also helping him to rebuild his army.

Bush will retaliate by setting off 4 or 5 nukes in Iran's most heavily populated areas. China, Russia, and North Korea will be jealous because they didn't receive advance notice so they could watch the bombs detonate live. They will make up for it by setting off their own nukes. China's nuclear explosions will end up being the most colorful of any other nation. With their long history of pyrotechnics, their atom bombs will emit bright green showers followed by crimson, gold, full bloom purple flowers, with a multi colored strobe effect

Tax Cuts - A Simple Lesson In Economics… This is how the cookie
crumbles… Please read it carefully…

Let’s put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every
day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If
they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like
this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing!!!

The fifth would pay $1.

The sixth would pay $3.

The seventh $7.

The eighth $12.

The ninth $18.

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy
with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the
cost of your daily meal by $20.”

So, now dinner for the ten only cost $80. The group still wanted to pay
their bill the way we pay our taxes.

So, the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free!!!

But what about the other six, the paying customers? How could they divvy
up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his “fair share”???

The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they
subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth
man would each end up being “PAID” to eat their meal.

So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each
man’s bill by roughly the same %, and he proceeded to work out the amounts
each should pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).

The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).

The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before and the first four continued to
eat for free… But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare
their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed
to the tenth man “but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar,
too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than me!”

“That’s true!!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when
I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for dinner, so the nine sat
down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they
discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all
of them for even half of the bill!

I mean... clearly, Bush wouldn't have offered the job if he didn't think the guy was in his corner... and it turns out that even the people he thought was in his corner says stuff like:

One of those who spurned the job, retired Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan, was outspoken about his reasons for turning it down.

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," said Sheehan, a former top NATO commander. Sheehan said he believes that hawks like Vice President Cheney have more influence in the White House than those looking for a way out of Iraq. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.' "

I mean... this guy was a general, marine no less... I would think he knows what he's talking about...

I find this much more disturbing than just the daily banter back and forth by politicians who are POLITICIANS and seem to know little about war...

Reps beleive in serving their country and their people in the country but realise that it is impossible to save everyone so work as hard as they can to make it so the most people get by well and try to raise the amount of ppl that fit in that catagory

Dems suffer from the delusion you can save the world and EVERYONE in the country which is just not possible but they dont care because if its a sad fact then its just not true. So what they do is tax the hell out of everyone the support those who arent very well off therefore forcing a nation into "charity" even though its more like theft. Charity is given willingly. Theft is taking something that doesnt belong to you.

O ya and republicans tend to revolve around facts and dems tend to revolve around emotions.

I my self have mainly conservative views but Im independant

O yes and my question. What are your opinions on this analaysis

They didnt do anything at first so his family contacted red cross and the red cross contacted the military and he got a 10 day leave before going to his unit... He never made it back to the army. He was been gone for two years and he went to GA for his gambling help and he searched for god and found help there... It has been 2 years AWOL and he has gotten pulled over by the cops once for a speeding ticket and went to court... He has a good job where they run a background check on him... Hes bought a house and a new car... All of this while he was AWOL... And now that hes gotten the help he has saved up money for his family while hes gone he wants to know what happens now with the AWOL and why they havent hunted him down or arrested him when he was pulled over or bought a house????
