He have been told these stories of wives that take all their husbands have when they are away. He expects me to handle things but I can not do all I need to do without power of attorney. He knows this but still expect me to get things done. I have no money for rent or other bills. Called him yesterday and he still have not done this. Could not get finicial help yesterday because no power of attorney. About to be homeless. I can not get any help from the army because I do not have power of attorney. I have decide to get a legal separation so that I can survive. I have told him I expect or want nothing from him. He is own his own. He called me late last night to tell me he loves me, my reply (silents). Am I being too hard? What do I do?

me myself i am disgusted that he is not allowed!
ok i dont think war is right , but he wants to go to iraq then let him go.
everybody is worried about his saftey, but what ever happend to dying with honer while fighting for your country?

i say let him serve if that is what he wants.

while im at it if they dont want him to go for fear of his saftey.
then all the soldiers out there should be allowed to come home if they want.
as no human life is more valueble than the next, we are all equals in this world no matter of race, sex, colour, weight or status!!!!!

As the presidential campaigns raise more and more money, and Washington has trouble finding agreement on much of anything, I'm joining Unity08.com – a diverse group of Americans who believe that neither of today’s parties reflects the aspirations, concerns or will of the majority of Americans.

I know grand theft is serious, the dwelling part was a charge of breaking and entering of a dwelling. And a charge of grand theft. The person is on house arrest, but seems to leave during the day for hours, and the other night was gone until around 10:00 p.m. He says he doing deliveries. The store he works at closes at 5:30 p.m. I am the person who bonded him out of jail. He hired a lawyer, asking the judge to take him off house arrest. What are his odds?

For example, regarding internationally monitored elections, torture, military spending, arms sales, nuclear proliferation and nuclear arms build up, and military actions that are considered dangerous aggression?

If not, why not? Isn't the best way to lead by example?

I remember in the 70s and 80s, there was a lot of right wing talk about left wing "moral relativism" and "situational ethics" yet on foreign affairs, America practices both. Whether something is immoral depends on whether we or someone else is doing it.

I think most Americans believe in all the idealistic stuff we say about human rights, democracy, and mutual respect our politicians talk about, and would like to actually see it practiced.

Senate Dems fail to cut off war funds By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Anti-war Democrats in the Senate failed in an attempt to cut off funds for the Iraq war on Wednesday, a lopsided bipartisan vote that masked growing impatience within both political parties over President Bush's handling of the four-year conflict.

The 67-29 vote against the Democrats' measure left it far short of the 60 needed to advance.

*****************

Compare that vote to the latest poll numbers showing the lib-Congress at 29% support.

We have been having lots of problems with our landlord lately, so I am trying to find out the law before this becomes an issue. For the summer, I am babysitting my nephew and my future step son (age 1 & 5) during the day in my home that I rent in the state of Arizona. I do not get paid at all. Can the landlord object to this legally?

I think It's Hypocritical to say that you agree with a complete Smoking ban in Pubs if the very person who makes such a remark Drives a Car and then goes on to say they suffer from other ppl's smoke and go on about a clean enviroment. Carbon Monoxide is far more Toxic than Passive Smoking. Try locking yourself in a Garage with a Car Engine running you will Die!.The Same can't be said if you did that with a Garage full of Smokers. So think on all you Hypocrits. Look at the Pollution you inflict on ppl when you turn the key and drive off before you sit in judgemnet of others. Much better if the Government Introduced Big Extractor Fans in Pubs n Bars.And have you thought of the effect it will have on you're night out down the local pub. If Local pub Takings go down which they will Imho then the Publican will not pay for you're nights Entertainment so you can all sit there bored, but hey who cares because you Breath clean air right. That is until you Drive off and Pollute the Neighbourhood

My boyfriend is an NCO in 96th Trans Co. His next in COC, SSG Rimpsey, told him to do a task that should not be done under his PTSD/medical profile due to the strong meds he is currently taking. When my boyfriend told him that he could not do such a task because it violates his profile, SSG Rimpsey told him, well, just don't take your meds and you should be fine. When my boyfriend stated that he HAD to take those meds under orders, Rimpsey told him, "well, take them and do it anyway. if you die doing it, it's on you. not my problem"

WTF? This is insane. What can be done about this? Rimpsey told him that if he didn't do it, he would take his rank. This guy has a history of trying to get people to do dangerous things and for just being a regular jerk, to say the least, but so far, no one has done anything about it. Any ideas from military folks? I'm not a military wife, so anything I say is nonexistent to them.

Thanks for any input.

If the Libertarian's were to make a land slide victory in gaining the U.S. federal senate/house majority & also took the presidency next election, would their fanatical zeal towards shrinking government/eliminating taxes where possable be detrimental or advantageous for American's in general? I've heard both sides of the tale before...one beinging as societies evolve individual freedoms need to be curtailed to maintain both "communal" progressivness & order...the other as: societies need more individual freedoms as they evolve in order to give stimulus to both society & individuals in moving the society progressivly to new levels of enlightenment/acheivments. What's your take on this? Do you favor less individual freedoms for you for the sake of progessive order in regards to the society, or more individual freedoms for you as a stimulus towards your contribution to the society in general?

Month after month I'm hearing that the Oil Companies are making records profits, yet the price of gasoline continues to climb. Do you think it might be because George W Bush is still in the oil business?

To me, it's a farce!

Designating English as the official language of the USA does nothing to curb illegal immigration and those who argue for it on this basis are either uneducated about the subject or uninformed.
