I am in a radio contest in San Diego and as a challenge I have to attempt to get media coverage. I want to hang signs on as many freeway overpasses as possible and was wondering about the legality of doing that here in CA. Also, if anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get some media coverage (legally) that would be GREATLY appreciated. I know no one with media ties so all the help I can get would be outstanding! Thanks!

Many men are attacked each year, but we never hear about it. Many men lose their homes and kids at the hands of a devious woman, but the way its ignored in the press, you wouldnt think it ever happened, even though we know a fairly large percentage of Domestic violence is caused by women.

Men also lose everything when their wives have been unfaithful, yet they lose it all when they are the guilty party, hardly fair is it?

Why do they lack understanding when it comes to human and humane rights and why can't they see it through objective eyes. Is war mongering, spitting on the poor and homeless and hating culture, is that what conservative Americans are all about?

I will be attending this town hall meeting with John Edwards tommorow. The event starts at 2:00p.m., but I don't get out of class until 1. (I attend the college he will be speaking at). Is there any chance of being able to get into the room he will be speaking in? It's a multipurpose room, sort of a small cafeteria. Any tips?

I often answer my own questions, so spare me what I already know! :)

No. The Dow Jones Average is 30 stocks (there's tens of thousands) chosen at random, and they then project the *average* that we hear on tv and in the papers.

S&P 500 is (duh) 500 stocks chosen at random, then a market-wide average is projected.

And then there's the Russel 2000. I'm sure you already know how many stocks they use for the average.

So you see, the Dow Jones means very little about our economy.

What's more accurate is how our currency does against the world currency.

We're at an all-time low USD against the Euro.

15 year low USD against the British Pound.

When were us English folk ever asked if we wanted to live in a multicultural society? Was there ever a referendum over mass immigration? Did the Labour Party´s 1997 manifesto clearly state that they were going to open our borders to millions of people?
Why is anybody who asks questions like mine, labelled a racist or some other such term in order to stifle debate? Will this all end in tears, like Yugoslavia?

Your thoughts, folks?

We have an insurgency going on and supposedly things are getting better. But if that were true, less soldiers would be getting murdered in Iraq, not more. If that were true, less Iraqies would be getting murdered and their numbers are up too. How many more will have to die before the Bush administration gets it? Will he ever get it? Or, is there just too much hubris to go around in the White house that is coupled with a sociopathology for death and destruction for Bush or Cheney to ever get it?

I am Iranian girl.
Lately there was a great deal of propaganda against Iran
I like Americans , at least those ones who are not hateful toward Iranians .
Iranians like Americans despite of American government shooting down an Iranian airliner , their support of unpopular shah and Saddam . But there is a danger that the popularity of Americans decreases in favor of Iranian Mullahs if America does not stop supporting the current Islamic regime of Iran . Yes you read correctly , your government is supporting the dictatorship and oligarchy of Mullahs against people of Iran.
Any attack of Iran and the current hostility of Americans towards Iranians would strengthen the Iranian Mullahs even more than the 8 years of Iran_ Iraq war did . People live in fear of an American attack and this fear is exactly what mullahs needs to prove their previous points about America , about how Satanic America is and how they were right and people were not . Though I think my people are clever enough not to be tricked by them but at least what an American attack will do for mullahs is that it for sure weaken the domestic resistance against Mullahs by distracting people ‘s mind toward an external invasion since Iranians are as patriotic as you American are . My people are going to jail for standing up against a government that they think it is corrupt .
My question is if you are a supporter of war against Iran and If you are please support your opinion .
