What suggestions do you have for a lesbian couple that is separated by boarders?
What suggestions do you have for a lesbian couple that is separated by boarders and wants to end the distance? One of the girls is in the U.S., the other in Brazil and they are serious about each other, would even marry, but gay marriage is illegal. They don't have their rights in other words. What is your advice for getting them permanently settled together instead of them having to bounce back and forth to each other's countries for just a visit, which they have been doing? Please, no flames or jokes.

I've heard everything from "I don't like Mondays" to "My dog told me to."

Never once have I heard someone claim to kill because there is no God, and they won't be held accountable.

Thoughts?

There weren't any school shootings then. A lot of us had guns but we fought with our fists and no one thought a fair fight was all that bad. We were usually friends after the fight and got on with our lives. Repression of male aggressions are to blame for the outrageous violence we see in our schools today.

According to a local news station:
An Ohio couple created their own contest and are giving away their farm to the winner.

In a 50+ word essay, you must answer the question "Would you like to own a 43.5 acre farm in Colebrook Township, Ashtabula, Ohio?"

The essay must come with a $100 certified check or money order non-refundable entrance fee. A third party will read and pick the winning essay. Their decision is final. The contest ends once 3,000 essays are received. Essay winner is responsible for all costs dealing with ownership and tax transfers, and will be notified within two weeks of the judge's decision and will take possession of the property and home 60 days after the transfer of the title and deed.

The Ashtabula County Sheriff's office checked with the couple's lawyer and the Internal Revenue Service and said the contest is legal.
--------

So do you think it's worth entering, or are the owners hoping to get just 2999 entries so they can keep the farm and $299,900?

In general, as things are today, would you say that having guns available to and in the hands of so many citizens makes us:
safer
or
puts us in more jeopardy than if they were illegal
(and citizens had to live their lives unarmed)?

And according to the US Constitution shouldnt ONLY the militia (police/military) bear arms?

True or False, if false why??

1) Interest groups politetly "lobby" the Supreme Court through the use of amicus briefs

2) If a tie vote occurs on the SUpreme OCurt, the case is held over for the next term.

3) The Court tends to overturn its own precedents more frequently than it exercises judicial review of federal legislation

4) One valid explanation for the increasing judicial activism is the dramtic increase in the number of lawyers in the United States.
