I wanted to send one to a friend but I am unsure of how much it costs to send it over seas. It's going to be a box. Unsure of the weight at this time.

That impoverished, starving country is boxed in by Japan, the US and China. (A good thing.) But their only recourse for drawing foreign capital to buy food is to be paid for NOT making nukes. They've proven they can do it and now, notice that talks are going on to feed them again. S. Korea started doing it again almost right away. Our currency changes have foiled their counterfieting of US money. That was a big blow. They can't feed themselves but they can produce bombs that the world will pay them not to use. If somehow, the two countries reunited and asked the US to leave, THAT would indeed be something to ponder. The South was always the North's breadbasket before they were divided. The North had the heavy industry and Uranium mines. The warmer South grew the food. It would be like having a fully militarized, nuclear armed, world power like 1940's Japan with one HECK of an attitude! Might be a preview of what China will become in 25 years. Their auto exports are up 466% this year.

It seems as though politicians are actually splitting us apart as a country...Hello, there is a war going on that the US citizens are trying to ignore. We should unite as a nation, the great nation we have the reputation to be, and support our soldiers in Iraq.

Many establishments such as bars and resturaunts have banned them long ago. Now, lawmakers are trying to ban them in casinos and even entire cities and in your own car.

The state House and Senate approved separate resolutions apologizing for slavery Tuesday — one day after Confederate Memorial Day, an official state holiday.

"An apology goes a long way," said Sen. Hank Sanders, a Democrat from Selma who sponsored his chamber's resolution. "Some of us can't begin to heal until we have an apology. Some of us can't move into reconciliation until we have an apology."

Neither resolution will become official unless approved by the other chamber and signed by the governor. The House passed its resolution with an unrecorded voice vote; the Senate's vote was 22-7.

Why do we obey the laws of society, when their are people who don't choose to follow them? How is it that the laws of our people in America, are dictated by the civilians, and yet no one is happy with them? Why can't we all just go and have the 3 laws: Don't Steal, Don't Kill, Don't Rape/Molest?

In case of an emergency do you think I should set my local police department on speed dial or use 911 when time depends on it. This I think is a helpful question because it's well useful in dangerous situations.

I was 10 days late this month on rent and the next thing I know, I get a call from my parents at 7:45am ON A WEEKEND from my mom. She and my step dad were FREAKING OUT because she said that my landlord told them that I was FIVE MONTHS BEHIND ON RENT!!! I have receipts to PROVE this isn't REMOTELY true and as soon as my mom got on the phone with the owner of the building, he confirmed that the landlord LIED!

Since my name is the only one on the lease and my parents are just emergency contacts, can I sue my landlord for something like invasion of privacy or harrassment? Can I sue at all? I'm just livid!

Mary Tillman testified about this today:
.Kauzlarich, now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more — that is pretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."

Asked by ESPN.com whether the Tillmans' religious beliefs are a factor in the ongoing investigation, Kauzlarich said, "I think so. There is not a whole lot of trust in the system or faith in the system [by the Tillmans]. So that is my personal opinion, knowing what I know.

AG Gonsalves was being "as honest as he could be" while testifying to Congress.
Isn't honesty under oath an either/or question?
And in light of 74 lapses of memory, isn't being as honest as you can be perjurious or admission of wrongdoing?

I had finished a project in Rome, Italy for a client. The Rome airport was extremly busy and I was flying Delta. My collegaue and I got in the delta line to check in. The line was very long and we were the last two people in line. I notice at the front of the line a ticket agent was speaking to the agent behind the desk. The agent had 7 young white males with her, I imagine there was a confusion about their tickets. Once they fixed the problem, the agent escorted the young men to the end of the line. the agent told me and my colleague that these customers had to go before us. Again we were the last two in line. I told the agent no. The agent became upset and told me that I was not a nice person.I was just tried and felt that she was nuts. Why would she put these young men in front of the last to people in line. A woman next to us who happen to be white told her that we were being treated badly and she was going to report her to corporate. What do you think
