Politics & Government - 17 May 2007

Money rules everything in a capitalistic society. The politicians are given big money to fool us into electing them so they can continue to make decisions to help the big businesses that own them. We are just the dummies that want to believe the next one is any different down beneath than the other one. The only way to change the world is to take money and power out of the equation. Congressmen, the president, and judges should not be able to have contact of any kind with businesses or receive any type of money, gifts or favors from anyone. Period!! Everything done in America can not have a monetary value to it.

A female was arrested and could not connect with any outside lines due to call blocking, therefore was not able to call her employer to explain her situation. A friend and co-worker did inform the manager on her behalf.

Immediately upon her release 72 hours later, she went to her employer & was informed that she had been terminated.

Is there anything she can do about this situation?

I know that most of you went into the "Closet" and came out as "New Labour" in the UK, and "liberals" in the USA.
But I thought that there might be a few "Happy Idiots" left to amuse us with their Marxist-Leninist imbecilities.
I suppose nobody bothers about you because they know that you'd vote for dog poop with a Labour sticker on it.

The Electoral College was created because spreading the word and counting ballots was near impossible when it creation occured. Electoral College voting was therefore a need to get the voting results of the people from each state. But is it still needed?? Postal Mail, Telephone, Television, Radio, Internet, YouTube..

i bought a car in october of 2006 which was a parts car i restored. we towed it to the title transferring place where i had it transferred into my name. however, my father passed away in late november. my stepmom, who we found out had been having an affair, immediately put us out (Me and my younger brother), and took everything we had and went with her boyfriend. before leaving, obviously we were on a bad note and she was angry she couldn't have the car i bought because she took the other and sold it because she was joint on it, took my title (which she broke open my safe to get) and took it to a notary with my father's death certificate and said here. major problem being that we have the same name (my father and I) . now i went to pick it up as it is mine and i was told i couldn't forcefully with threats to call the police even though i was not even the least bit showing any aggression. even after showing her both birth certificates, ss cards, drivers lic,etc. she refused. what to do?

My father told me and my brother that we would inherit a lot of money when he died. Now that he's gone, it appears he left us nothing and it all went to his 2nd wife and her daughters. His will states that when he dies, she inherits everything and then when she goes, it will all be split among her daughters and my brother and me. Now the greedy ***** has written her own will and giving it all to her kids and me and my bro are cut out. Can I contest this and how expensive is it and what are my chances of getting what should rightfully be ours? Why would my father promise us this? He was a lot of things but I don't remember him being a cruel liar.

It use to be "United We Stand, Divided We Fall"
And that is true, but today we are so divided with so many beliefs of God (or non-belief), War, Immigration, etc.
How do we come together as Americans to defeat our enemies and stand United to protect our Country?

Hurricane relief, welfare, and the many payouts given to "down trodden" We need limits, not stops, limits. it is obovious that nature smacked a city but why am I spending more than a billion to support people that will not support themselves? Limits on how you spend my money, I would like to have Social Security available to me some day and maybe a few good roads without tolls.

We recently had memorial services for Ford and Reagen. All good things were said about both. I'm too young to remember back any further, but I just wonder what president has earned the claim as the worst leader of our country. Or are we not far enough removed to judge?

Bush repeatedly goes on T.V. an says Ill veto whatever this whatever that.
Well, Democrats should go right on T.V. and say we'll continually send him the same bill, until the money runs out -- unless he negotiates a valid fair plan on IRAQ - that includes benchmarks.

Otherwise youre just weak, and you show you dont have integrity.

Whats integrity, doing the right thing, not because you want to be reelected, but because its the right thing to do!

The USA has grown so big that different regions of the country don't think the same way. The government doesn't represent what people want only a warped version of everything. Should the USA be divided into smaller countries and maybe be joined as a confederation?
