Think about it. Think about the people you encounter on a daily basis, at the store, at the movies, on the road...

Do you think those people know what's best for you?

I recently rented a mobile home, and the contract my husband signed said that because we were renting it at a low rate, we were responsible for maintenance, repairs, things like that. As soon as we moved in, we discovered only one light fixture works because there are major wiring problems. On top of that, because the mobile home is in a mobile home park, the water lines are connected. After two days we got the "handy man" to come over and turn on the water, but he said there are plumbing problems, and the pipes were leaking and refused to turn on the water, because it would not be fair to the others in the park (becuse there is only one water bill that is divided up among everyone). We called the management, and they said we have to pay them to fix the plumbing or hire someone else, and until then, will not let us have water. Since on the lease we agreed to maintenance and repairs, can they do this?

I ask because I don't have cable and find the exclusion of non-cable customers from access to the political process frustrating and troubling.

This question is not intended to invoke argument regarding the fairness of Libby's sentencing. I am only asking for an opinion on the issue of pardon authority. This could apply to future or past pardons by any president past or present.

While I do support the presidents authority to pardon individuals from time to time, I do not think that he should be allowed to pardon members of his own cabinet. This seems to be a conflict of interest, because it removes any hope of accountability for criminal activity perpetrated within the white house itself. The way it stands, a president could have others commit crimes for him and simply pardon them later. I do not feel that members of the white house or the president are above the law. ("Justice for All")

Do you agree or disagree ?

In my area (Mt Clemens) the young people say "NO" to joining the military. 70% of the American people are against the Iraq war.

Hey my name is Phil

I was just wondering what your opinion is; should reporters and the media be allowed at the frontlines?

All of this anti-war feeling is probably fuelled by the media. First, they lie to the public saying something like "if we don't invade, 'X' will happen!", and then they turn around and start saying "we need to pull out!".

If there had been reporters like there are today at the eastern trench-front in 1916, or reporters blabbing away about how the battle to crush facism in the 40's costing 50 million lives, would those wars have lasted long?

Is it the reporters and their constant negative media, or have the western nations lost the will to fight for whats right?

After all, the only thing worse than war is to not be willing to fight for anything, eh!

(PS Iraq is not right, Afghanistan is though. What the devil are you doing there...)

.......the standard of living in society today around financial issues? I am of the opinion that our country is heading for a serious fall. People are getting in so much debt because of the cost of living these days and I was wondering what others think on this matter. Also what do you think should be done to change the situation? Do you think that our current government is right or wrong in their policies around taxes etc and why do you think this? I am just looking for others opinions on the current state of our society from a financial perspective. I have heard that a very high percentage of our population is in serious debt and this is due to house prices rising and the cost of food, household bills etc!! What do you feel from your way of life, is good or bad about todays standard of living? Do you think that essential things such as food should be lowered in price etc? What do you think about the current government in general? (for/against and your reasons why) Thanks in advance

Disadvantages of Immigration:
• Greater poverty Because illegal immigrants occupy low income employment, their wages are low and they are more affected by downturns in the economy. In comparison to natives, they do not to have health insurance and need to resort to public assistance.
• More educational costs: Illegal immigrant children account for a disproportionate amount of public education costs than do natives due to the greater birth rate for Hispanics. Illegal immigrants have significantly lower educational attainment than do citizens and legal immigrants • Increased danger of terrorism Some argue that the continued ability of illegal immigrants to enter the country increases the threat of domestic terrorism. In reality, the threat is minimal. The known dangers associated with terrorism involve Islamic individuals and even citizens of the United States, ie. hate groups (KKK, White Supremist Groups, and individuals ie Timothy McVeigh etc.

HIllary's cankles or John Edwards looks?

Seems like nothing of substance regarding the democratic candidates philosophies, voting records, proposed policies or other beliefs makes it to the forefront, just bashing on things that have nothing to do with their ability to lead this country.

My mom is terminally ill. Unfortunately, she hasn't made any preparations for either healthcare or what to do after she's passed away. And there are 6 surviving children and unfortunately, only 2 of us are really responsible and don't want the burden of unexpected expenses to sneak up on us. We'd really like to try and get things in order as much as possible. My youngest brother and I will most likely be the ones financially responsible for any extra costs. Because of this, we'd really like to have say in her healthcare, as well as funeral arrangements.

Why is districting up to the state legislatures and NOT in the hands of a non-political office attached to the Census bureau.

Do Republicans fear that giving everyone equal representation under law will hurt their chances of ever holding a majority ever again?

Are the majority of republicans truly afraid of a fair election? If not, why do they cheer at voter disenfranchisement?

Read up on the different candidates' positions at this site: http://www.vote-smart.org

Choose the election (i.e. presidential) and party, then it generates a list of ALL the candidates who have announced or are considering. Then each cadidate has a basic bio, position, voting history, etc., some with links to take you even deeper into their political positions.

VERY interesting and IMPORTANT to making informed decisions about our next president! I've been quite surprised at some of the information I've found so far...

Whatever your political affiliations, please check out your party's candidates--and those of the other party too.
Let's ALL get more informed!

Judicial Watch said among the documents it obtained was a 10-page partnership "Work Plan for the Financial Services Working Group," which details 24 specific "deliverables" by officials from the U.S. Treasury, Finance Canada, BANXICO, the Federal Research Board-Atlanta, and regulatory agencies.

"The deliverables include 'cross-border' cooperation in the areas of car insurance, Social Security totalization for Mexico, banking, and the Federal Reserve's 'Directo a Mexico' remittance program," Judicial Watch said.
