Politics & Government - 24 April 2007

I watched the movie Bobby and all the memories started flowing.
His great speeches demanding an end to violence were played.
Where is President Pelosi to invoke his memory and devotion to life. John, Martin and Bobby all lost in the 1960's and now more lost since 2001. Time to end the losses. My paralyzed Special Education student done in by a bullet goes to a funeral Friday of another young man shot in the head and killed by the bullet.

We all know she has an agenda for African-Americans, Latin-Americans, Asian-Americans, homosexual-Americans, and whatever other ethnic American we can think of. I'm even sure she would love to help the millions of ILLEGAL immigrents in this country. But how will she support white heterosexual males? I think we're screwed, we've had it too easy for too long. We've done most of the work and made most of the money. We built this country. Now don't cry that we oppressed this group or that group, because I hate to tell you most of the "oppressors" are dead. To the best of my knowledge, I've never owned a slave. I was born after the Equal Rights Act of 196whatever. I'm all for equal rights, just do equal work. Please someone prove me wrong. Now I know this will be difficult for you bleeding heart liberals but try to support your statements with actual FACTS. You do know what a fact is? Right? Don't give me whatever garbage Rosie has recently spit out. What do you think?

Im in this court ordered program that gives us about 2 drug screenings a week. I dont do most drugs but i WAS smoking weed. I have not touched anything in 8 weeks now and i am very proud of my self. Well, this morning the supervisor for drug court called me and told me my last test was dirty for pot! I could not belive it. Like i said i deffinitly have not touched anything not even alcohol. So I told her that and of course she hears it all the time. She told me if i pay 35$ they can retest it using a more sophisticated test BUT if it comes back dirty again there going to give me a double sanction. which means i'll probably sit in jail for longer if i didnt retry it. I went ahead and paid for the test becuase like i said I know I didnt smoke and it shouldnt be in there from 8 weeks, although i smoked ALOT of pot. I find out thursday if i go to jail or not and im so stressed. How often are these tests wrong and could i still be dirty from 8 freaking weeks ago?

Considering his background (thrice divorced, pro-gay marriage, pro gun-control, etc...) I mean, his life seems to be the perfect example of the kind of New York lifestyle that many conservatives can't stand. In 2004, more people cited "moral values" than anything else for why they voted for Bush. So would you still vote for Rudy, even if his morals aren't too strong?

99%of Americans Are Net Losers Under Bush Tax and Spending Policies.From 2001 to 2006, the typical middleincome American has received a tax cut totaling $1,855 per family member.But that family’s share of the added national debt burden is $8,936 per person.This means that the net impact of the Bush fiscal policies on the middle 20%is an added burden of $7,081per American—or $28,322 for a family of four. The benefits and burdens of the Bush fiscal policies will not be felt equally by all.Because the benefits of the Bush tax cuts have gone primarily to the wealthiest 1% of Americans, this small group still comes out ahead even after the added debt burden is factored in. But the other 99% of American families are net losers from the Bush administration’s fiscal policies- leaving the vast majority to pick up the tab for a redistribution of income towards the wealthiest few.Put another way, if you’re among the 99%of Americans who lose, then for every $1.00 in tax cuts the federal government

Hi, my name as entered in the passport is Axxx Bxxx Cxxx, because the clerk in the chennai passport office didn't care to look at the order of names as I gave it on the application. The correct order should be Axxx Cxxx Bxxx. I didn't get this changed though it happened 8 years ago because it wasn't important in India. Now, after being in the US for 5 years, I find it a big hassle. Is there a way to get it changed in my passport to the correct order ? What is the procedure to do this ? Is this classified as "name change" ? Thanks in advance for your replies!

I'm referring to rap, heavy metal, club music, or anything else that glorifies drugs and encourages others to use them. Is promoting illegal activity and encouraging kids to use illegal substances really protected under the 1st amendment? Is that really what the founding fathers meant when they referred to freedom of speech?

I own a small business, in the state of Ohio, and am thinking of hiring some people to fill expanding rolls in my business. I need to know what questions I can legally ask a candidate's previous employer(s) in regards to the their employment/work history with the former company.

I am aware that my choices are limited due to anti-discrimination laws. So, as an employer, what are the questions I CAN ask?

Also, please specify your sources for this information.
