If you have strong reasons to believe that your life is going to be threatened (but it isn’t at the time) can you take action to prevent it from happening by injuring the person or will this be wrong?

I can't help but wonder why this is in the news again but on Yahoo we have yet another story that says lethal injection is cruel and unusual form of execution,as if the killers were humane. In order to avoid the question of whether a certain mode of execution is unconstitutional should we just return to the methods used by the people who wrote the Constitution,namely hanging and firing squad? This way we know it would not be considered cruel and unusual,since it was in fact used by the men who wrote those words in the first place.

half mast for all of our men and women who have been killed during this war, but yet we fly it half mast for everyone else???? Does anyone else feel that we should leave our flags half mast until our men and women are home safely from this dreaded war. I thought that I was the only one who felt this way until I read that someone in the news today felt the same way too! It is sad that students were killed at Virginia Tech. But what about the 3200 plus Americans who were killed and are still being killed in this war. Where is the flag flying in their honor????

I always hear Republicans complain about taxes, but where else do they think we'll get the money to pay for roads and schools and our military? Bush's idea has been to cut taxes and borrow money from, of all places, China, which will have to be paid back with interest. He also has expanded the government at a faster rate than any of his predecessors . I thought conservatives were responsible with money? What gives?

Had you heard this in the MSM? I had never heard of this one before. Why is that?

On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, a 43-year-old student from Nigeria, walked into the Appalachian School of Law offices of Dean Anthony Sutin, 42, a former acting assistant U.S. attorney, and professor Thomas Blackwell, 41, and opened fire with a .380 ACP semi-automatic handgun – shooting them at close range.

As soon as the gunfire erupted, two students acting independently of one another, Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, ran to their vehicles to retrieve firearms. Gross, an off-duty police officer in his home state of North Carolina, got his 9mm pistol and body armor. Bridges got out his .357 Magnum.

Bridges and Gross went back to the building where the shots were heard and as Odighizuwa exited, they approached from different angles. Bridges yelled for him to drop his weapon and the shooter was subdued by several unarmed students.

I was wondering if it is legal to drive a go kart on the road, or if there is anything possible to make it legal in Pennsylvania. If there is a possibility, is there any way I can get my 13 yr old son to drive it. Legal proof online would be very much appreciated, but is not required for best answer. Thank you so much for your information!

John, the X-convict, told me himself that he was in San Quintin last summer (06) for embezzlement. He also conspired to assist my, then roommate, to steal expensive stereo and other equipment. (She's in jail for 7 months now.) After she was sent to jail I found John going through my stuff in the garage. BTW: John is my next door neighbor. Thoughts???

Hi! well im canadian so i wouldn't know alot on this subject. for the things i know, i'd say Bush is an alright guy. but again im canadian and im probably missing out 90% of the whole story. I mean what he did after 9/11, isn't that alright? And i think sending troops into Iraq is ok. America is over run by the minority. Just because you see a couple hundred people are holding up signs infront of the white house is shown on T.V., all of America thinks the other way. Stop being such a hippie, strap on a helmet. Is it really a good idea to withdraw the troops from Iraq? Take a look at what happened to Vietnam. As you can see im very comfumbled about the situation. OPINIONS PLEASE!

Political experience is not Obama’s only problem. He also lacks military experience. The current issue in Iraq is the primary concern of most voting Americans. It is safe to say that a majority of Americans would like to see the troops pulled from Iraq. The belief is that no progress is being made, and that too many U.S. lives are being lost. George W. Bush has no current plans to pull troops out of Iraq. He actually intends to send more. Americans are furious. Therefore, is now the time for a man with no military experience to enter office? If Obama took office in 2008 and the war continued, what would he do? If he were elected president and made the wrong decision about the war, he would be hated just as much as the current president.
CAN YOU HELP ME ADD TO THIS PARAGRAPH? PLEASE..

"The most controversial idea in the plan, from the mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability, is a proposal to charge motorists for driving into Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Trucks would be charged $21 a day and cars would be charged $8, on top of the city's already expensive parking."

In my opinion the Democrats are finally smartening up. They've had enough of Bush and his delusional lies, torture, spying on Americans, brutal bloody unjust invasions.

And the GOP rubberstamp Congressmen & Senators who survived the last election (some thru US Attorney misconduct?) can go on record supporting Bush and refusing to vote for this bill or over-ride his veto.

And those neokons out there in yahooanswers-land who don't allow email. I judt as soon you didn't answer. If you haven't the guts to stand up for what you say you're worse than the GOP Congress cartel..

Face it people, we NEED oil. Our economy is dependant on it and that isnt George W Bush's fault. What do you want Bush to do. Go to war with Saudi Arabia and every other opec nation. Perhaps he should just alienate them all and stop doing business with them. Then instead of calling him a murderer or the antichrist or a hyppocrite you will just blame him for the worst economy in US history and call him evil for massive layoffs, poverty and suicides when the stock market crashes. You can't blame Bush for the oil dependant nation we have become. He has to play politics with these people. He didn't create the economic world we live in but he has to play in it. Every single person on here benefits from Bush being friendly with the Saudis. Yet you don't want to admit it because then you will be siding with evil big business. You all say you would be willing to pay more for oil, but its not just about your gas for your car, it's about the entire US economy.

It has been more then 4 years. It takes 5 month to train US troops, we could have trained all the Iraqis in the world. There is no military solution for this, only political. (or build a big wall between them ; e.g. split the country in three - but it would not be Iraq anymore , would it? )

G.W. Bush needs to learn some about the American government. He must have missed that class in High School. He needs to learn how it works. Someone should teach him. In America Congress controls the money.
In the last elections Democrats "earned capital and they intend to spend it". Those are GW Bush words. He used them after being defeated by John Kerry in Ohio.
G.W. Bush also needs to learn that in our form of Government "the will of the people" is the work of those elected to Congress. If Bush refuses to except our form of Government then Bush and Cheney should both be impeached. It's up to Democrats to end the occupation of Iraq. Congress and the American people have spoken on that issue. The will of the people will prevail.
