An electrical contractor gave me an estimate to fix my air conditioner. He showed me his license. He needed upfront money to buy the parts that needed replacement. Now, he is stringing me along day after day. It has been a week and he has not repaired what is needed. I looked his lic. # up and it resulted in a company in Texas with an expired license (we are in CA). I e-mailed the Better Business Burea so far and ordered a copy of the check I gave him for the parts.

It looks like this has been asked a couple times, but I want to give you some boundaries.

First, I don't want the definition of government. I know that already.

Secondly, this question pertains to the purpose of the government created by the US Constitution.

Thirdly (and most important), cite any sources.

Liberals = it's MAN's fault and WE should stop it
Conservatives = there have been warming and cooling periods all through time and we cannot stop or change them

OKAY - we have different 'reasons' why...BUT

Should we all work together to come up with a plan?

I have been romantic with Conservetives and liberals and I must comment. Conservetive women are a lot more passionate, sensual, and pleasing then their liberal counterparts who are usually on edge, moody, and flat. Conservetive women let their hair down, while the liberals worry that they may be messing their hair. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it the same way visa versa liberal men being duds and conservetives being studs?

ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) - Environmental activists are building a replica of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat—where the biblical vessel is said to have landed after the great flood—in an appeal for action on global warming, Greenpeace said Wednesday.
Turkish and German volunteer carpenters are making the wooden ship on the mountain in eastern Turkey, bordering Iran. The ark will be revealed in a ceremony on May 31, a day after Greenpeace activists climb the mountain and call on world leaders to take action to tackle climate change, Greenpeace said.

Of course she and the libs will blame Bush Right?


"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...

It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

Just something I have always wondered. Personally I think they are one of the greatest bands of all time, but I have never heard of any conservatives liking them. So do any of you conservatives like them? Do they have one Republican fan?

Libs tend to blame Bush for their own party voting for the war Do libs believe in personal responsibility


John Edwards, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq:
"Others argue that if even our allies support us, we should not support this resolution because confronting Iraq now would undermine the long-term fight against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Yet, I believe that this is not an either-or choice. Our national security requires us to do both, and we can."

I just witnessed the worse possible thing I could imagine. I was on the way home and someones Large breed dog jumped from the back of his truck. To my horror I saw him hit by three cars (tore apart like a rag) and then land in front of my car. I was screaming and It just upset me so bad. It was like watching a horror movie.
Are there any laws on not having dogs in the back of a open truck?
If not shouldn't there be?

Who would I contact in order to start such a law?
