Politics & Government - 8 May 2007

why are there Academics, Families of the victims, Firefighters, EMT's, Police, Eyewitnesses, Mayor Guiliani, Larry Silverman,
Fox News reporters, High Ranking Military Officials... all questioning, Conflicting with or outright denouncing the official 9/11 spin..

Mayor says 1500 degree fire in towers basements 5 weeks later is a "mystery",
Larry Silverman admits on Video."We decided to pull" building 7
First responders, Firefighters, police and EMT's that were on the scene, on video relaying story after story of explosions before and during,
etc,etc,etc..
and lets not forget the families of the dead "suing" the Bush administration for their involvement.http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1223-02.htm

if you aren't curious you are either complacent or paid to appear that way.. either way it is a co -option of every American principle that should exist...

what possible reason can you have to not want there to be an Independent, international investigation...

I MYSELF AM NOT A PARIS HILTON FAN. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE WAY SHE CARRIES HERSELF, AND SHE IS NOT A GOOD INFLUENCE ON OUR YOUNG GIRLS. BUT THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT. THE QUESTION IS-SHOULD PARIS HILTON SERVE JAIL TIME? I DO BELIEVE THAT IF YOUR GOING TO BREAK THE LAW YOU SHOULD SERVE TIME FOR IT. I DON'T CARE IF YOUR RICH AND FAMOUS, JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE MONEY DOESN'T MAKE ANY ONE PERSON BETTER THAN THE NEXT. IF YOU DO THE CRIME DO THE TIME. SO THEY SAY. IF IT WERE ME AND SOME OTHER PERSON, DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THEY WOULD TURN THE OTHER CHEEK? NOW BE HONEST WITH THIS QUESTION. YOU CAN STILL BE HEAD OVER HILLS FOR PARIS HILTON, BUT YOU CAN ALSO DISAGREE WITH HER ACTIONS. IF GOVENOR SCHWARZENEGGER GETS INVOLVED AND SAVES HER FROM GOING TO JAIL, IN MY OPINION HE IS NO BETTER THAN SHE IS.

Ok everyone, I have a major problem. I was let go from my job after I gave birth to my twin girls. My employer sent me a letter stating that they needed to fill my position and that my dept only needed one person. I was granted umemployment. Then I filed a discrimination lawsuit against my employer. Then they offered me my job back because they said firing me "was a error" they only offered me my job back because they are in trouble with work force development. I had to refile unemployment after 3 months because I had an open claim from last year. Then I get a letter from unemployment saying they need to interview me because my employer stated I "abandoned my job" My question is can I still get unemployment even though they gave me my job back. Or can I argue that I have a discrimination lawsuit against them and that I shouldnt have to go back to work there? My mom thinks that because I have a termination letter, they cannot just give me my job back. my employer didnt fight the 1st tim

I moved to Las Vegas a year & a half ago from Texas. I am legally blind and have been a diabetic for the past 4-years. I work live most people do and do not receive any government assistance for my disability.

When I finally found a doctor that would accept me, that I liked & that was close to my home, I made sure that he knew I did not have any insurance and that I would be paying him in cash for his services. He understood & accepted me as his patient, gave me a check-up, I paid the bill in full, got my meds and went on my way.

Well, I called him today to get a re-fill on my meds and some blood work done as he had asked me to do when my meds were about to run out. Without notice or an explanation, his receptionist told me that, I could not see my doctor, as they no longer accept patients that don’t have insurance. Am I missing something here? I’m not a new patient; my bill was paid in full from last years visit, I never ask for a discount. Do you think that was right?

I can't stand it... all I want is the news... no opinions, no debates. Why every time I turn on the T.V. it is just 2 guys yelling at eachother. Isn't the news just supposed to be news not two political experts ranting at one another?

It is always someone died,there was an earthquake... there was a terrorist attack, I mean I think these are very important stories and need to be shown and reported. But can't a little bit of good news be added in there as well?
Whenever they do a good story they spend about 2 seconds reporrting it and then it is over. I know there is alot of good news out there that is never reported... they cut out time for those stories and put on two people bickering instead. I definetly think they should more good, heartwarming stories on the news.

Is there a web-site in the state of Texas where I may check to report an individual who possibly has "wants" and "warrants". In other words I need to verify that an individual I know is wanted in the state of Texas. Thank You. Hope I was clear on this.

I'm not married to my baby's father, and my baby isn't born yet but I'm wondering if I can claim child support before the baby is born (in case he leaves/runs away from the situation) or are there any legal documents I can get him to sign that says he is the babys father?

Do I have to actually go to court or is there any easier way out of this? I am still with my boyfriend but we've been having problems and I'm afraid it could result in something I don't want so I want to be able to get some of this out of the way early.

Is there anything I can do to be safe and make sure he does what he has to do?

This is my first child and I have no idea what to do legality wise, detailed help would be much appreciated.

Crude oil - 70 dollars US funds (rarely does it get that high but for the sake of math)

1 Barrel = 42 US gallons or 158 litres

One gallon therefore = 1.66

Go to the oil comapnies own web site 16 % for refining and 2 % for profit -

One gallon = a little less than 2 bucks US

How much are you paying ?

The rest went to tax !

This is not an American thing it is happening in Canada and the UK

Governments are killing us

We compain about the oil company (and rightfully so ) who make a billion in profits over a quarter - What do you think the government is raking in as it keeps quiet and lets you blame the whole thing on some Muslim fanatic or oil company ?

Do you appreciate this I don't

I never really understood this. When you are driving without your liscense (you left it at home/lost it ect.) the fine is 180$. The fine for speeding is 85$. When you speed, you put other people's lives in danger (and yours). When you drive safely without your driver's liscense, even though the cops can check the liscense in the cop car computer, you are fined more than double of what speeding is.

the party line name callers come out..

but when Adolf Hitler burned the Reichstag building, there were Germans that didn't accept the official story and demanded an investigation most publicly ...and guess what happened to them ? ... they were ridiculed in the press, made the enemy of the state by that same controlled media and rounded up in the first waves of marshal law... to the applause of Good Germans around the country ...to this day there are Germans from that era that still denounce the burning as a communist plot..

JFK..The pristine bullet theory is physically impossible.. some how Lee Harvey Oswald was able to suspend gravity, inertia, time and space, directional momentum and any other number of bedrock scientific principles ...again the nay sayers will boo and hiss..

9/11 free falling buildings, Seismic activity before during and after, months later molten steel in the pit smoldering at 1500 degrees? Physics people, gravity is real..

why are the facts discounted?

I was attacked by 2 family members but when I called the police they decided not to arrest them. I received minor injuries (bleeding lip and some bruises) but I really feel that there's something wrong with this picture. I didn't start the fight nor did I lay a hand on them (even after they attacked) and yet I was clearly the victim and they got away with it.

I don't want to sue for money because they are both under 18 (not much though) and it would hurt my parents. Is there anything I can do to make sure they serve their time? I didn't write a statement because my head was still hurting after the attack. Is that bad (I don't have much experience with these kind of things)? I truly tried to forgive them but they never really even apologized to me.

Say an admin.agency (FCC, for example) appeared to be passing rules that catered to special interest groups. Can congress constitutionally pass an act that says all rules issued by the FCC must be approved by congress before they are effective? If so, where in the constitution is support for this idea found?


Thanks!!
