Ever since our neighbours moved in next door they have complained about our 25ft tall connifer trees in the garden, which block the sunlight from their garden in the afternoon. At their request we had them cut down by about 10 feet 5 years ago, which cost about £800. They have since grown back and the neighbours have sent us a letter saying we have until the 1st of May to cut the trees down or they are going to take legal action. I cannot afford to keep paying to have the trees trimmed and I have been told it will cost at least £4000 to have the trees all cut down completely and taken away. I am on income support as I am a full time carer for my disabled son, and my my income is very low. What options do I have? Advice very much appreciated! Thanks

Nurses
Hospitals
Doctors
Pharmacies
Drug Manufacturers
Insurance Companies.

And were you aware the USA has national healthcare already.
Medical care is available to EVERYONE in the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of ability to pay, heck even if you are not a citizen of this country. Go to any ER in any city and you will be taken care of.

Insurers have the lowest expense and the greatest margin of profit in the healthcare business, they own congress with campaign donations so they get to write their own rules. They tell the doctors what they will be paid, the doctors do not tell the insurance companies what they will charge, they wait six to nine months to pay. The insurance companies state what drugs you can use and what they will pay for them. Litigation in lawsuits for the most part are won by the insurance companies, ie they do not pay settlements.

SO when you want to rant about healthcare, look at the insurers and which politicians in Congress they control.

Try to forget for a moment what Reid's political party is. Do you think Bush is viewing the war realistically? If so, please explain?

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. !!

Sure we have our faults. . . but we still got the best thing goin !!

Would you STAND-UP. . .. next to me and show your pride today?

I personally believe both are not right but it seems legacy is somehow ok in the minds of many who are against affirmative action. Do not give me the BS that legacy is earned, because if your parents or sibling can put up a high HS record to get in why can't you is my thinking. When it comes down to admissions into college it should be about you and your record not your family, race or gender, but what you did and what you had to go through.

What do I do when I don't have the mail I should have received from the Office of the Jury Commisioner? I never received my standby notice with directions, my panel number and the number to call today about showing up tomorrow?

(Today is April 23rd, 2007).

Yeltsin was arguable the ONLY Russian president in recent years who was at all sympathetic to democracy. Is this slight on Bush's part due to ignorance, or just bad manners?

This person is continually parking on private land even though notices are in place stating that the marked spaces are reserved for particular people. He has been asked politely not to do so, and messages have been left under his windscreen wipers, all to no avail. Is there any legal way of finding out who the registration number belongs to, other than involving the police.

Ann Coulter claims to be a Christian, but she does and says PLENTY of things that run against Christian teachings. For example, the Golden Rule says that we are to treat others as we would like to be treated, but I somehow doubt that she would want to be on the receiving end of the sort of insults she dishes out. Not only that, but one of the Ten Commandments forbids lying. Of course, one would assume that that would include all forms of deception. Since Ann Coulter is such a good Christian, why did she break the law and register to vote in two different states? Also, why did she lie in one of her books and claim that the New York Times didn't cover the crash that killed Dale Earnhardt, when in fact it did?Last but certainly not least, the Bible forbids sex outside of marriage, but even though she isn't married, I somehow doubt she's still a virgin. (She even dated the son of Bob Guccione!) I could go on about Coulter's hypocrisy, but I think the examples I just gave will suffice.

The military operations have been declared done over 4 years ago in Iraq, and it is way overdue to bring the troops home. Why is he so against a time table to bring the troops home, I know some will say that Iraq will be run by the enemy, they will follow the troops here, that the Iraqis are not trained properly, just how long do US troops train before they are put on the front lines, there are language barriers in the US too. I see the main reason is that the Administration would actually have to talk and work the political things out with them. The Iraqi Government will more than likely not be run the way our President would like, but so what. I think that The Bush Administration has no plan at all.

No one would argue that Saddam Hussein was a brutal, murderous dictator. However, not every issue is clearly right or wrong, left or right, black or white. In life, real everyday life, we must deal with decisions that are the “lesser of two evils”. Looking at the facts—not the subjective perspectives of Conservatives and Liberals—all things considered, is Iraq better off now or under Saddam’s rule? Was Saddam’s leadership, as cruel and inhumane as it was, the “lesser of two evils”?
