I was getting a little suspicious....But, it went to the "Politburo"...If you don't know, that is the "executive committee of the Communist Party who "dictates policy or the terms of said policy" The scary part is that most of those people were applauding......Don't say anything about republicans...or conservatives or anything else that might TICK

Did anyone watch the PBS program about labor and wages in China?
Women (typically) work 13 hrs/day 7 days a week for $120/month making products for export.
Usually they have a production life of 10-15 years until their bodies give out from this schedule.
Of the population of China over 1 BILLION of them live in poverty and an estimated 20 million others live affluently.
How is exporting U.S. labor to countries like China good for the U.S. or those other countries?
Wouldn't you be willing to pay a couple dollars more if you had to to keep things "Made in America"??????
How are all of the millions of the people in the U.S. who HAD those labor jobs now supporting themselves?

I am really curious. I personally am a veteran. I am a Army veteran. Served active and reserves. I ETS as a E-5(P). My most memorable experience was getting orders to go to Iraq. My favorite memories is night fire and getting issued my M-16. I remember having to name it. I named mine Claude and the Drill Sergent asked me why did I name it Claude and I went blank. I remember getting dropped for it. Boy, I did not like my drill sergent!!

Ok first off I am very mad that people say that most people who are in the military are there because their lives are terrible and/or they are not very smart. Here what I am and are wondering what branch to join. I am coming into the military not for the money or to escape life. I am extremely smart and I could care less about the money, my family is financially independent. I want a job that will put my smarts to the test as well as my physical self, and I am really interested in ground combat. Is there a group like that like the navy seals or something where I could be of use?

Fellow Americans, We are presently involved in a war in which our Nation is taking heavy casualties which include economic, our global reputation and of course precious American lives. As Americans we are familiar with sacrifice and not afraid to fight to defend our Country. But we were lied to about this war. We were manipulated to participate for reasons other than National defense. This President, after 911 had the most political capital of any post WWII President with the entire Nation behind him. But he squandered it on a totally unnecessary and illegal war. So on July 17/07 at 8:00 am Americans are going to put a STOP to it by stopping our cars in the middle of rush hour or wherever we are with a National show of Solidarity and let this President know that we won't pay for this war and that we want our boys home. Will you help spread the word? On July 17th vote no by stepping on your brake pedal. (The People's Initiative to STOP the War!)

We could start by upholding the laws already on the books. How difficult is that? They won't be satisfied or do anything constructive when their motivation is simply amnesty. They care more about illegals and taxing Americans to pay for them.

As it is we will just continue to keep paying for illegals through all the social services they came here to take advantage of.

Cloture on that Bill is a victory for 'we the people'. However, we know they will keep chewing on that same bone.

It sure seems that way.

The Dems had been blocking his funding for Iraq. The Dems finally saw the light and helped pass the bill pretty much in a landslide --- 80 to 14.

Dems seem to be lining up and listening to Mr. Bush.

Considering that often times drugs lead to death, shouldn't a drug dealer be charged with murder? Even though it is the buyers’ choice, couldn't it be considered assisted suicide, which is what Dr. Kevorkian did?

I am 22 now and have never signed for selective services at the post office when I was 18. I figured if I really had to I would have gotten somthing in the mail. I registered as a voter, and recieved financial aid for college without signing for the selective services. (both are examples I heard you cant do unless you signed for selective services) My parents told me they didnt send me anything because of my last name. I guess I am the only one in my family that can carry on the last name? I am just curious if this could be the answer or not. I am interested in a career as a postal worker, and it says that you should have signed on. I look at it as Uncle Sam never told me to sign on so I am not. Untill people are running around my country with ak's blowing up innocent people, I am not enlisting.

VICTORY: You Defeated Amnesty, Cloture Failed

CONGRATULATIONS! You did it!

The Senate just voted 45 to 50 against invoking cloture on S. 1348. Senator Reid has pulled the bill from the floor for now.

You all have done an outstanding job this week and throughout today. You never gave up!

We will be coming to you with the final roll call tally, and a detailed analysis of who voted how and what is next to come, but I wanted to get this to you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Here I am again stuck with a horribly hot apartment. Im on the top floor in the southwest corner, with the western facing wall completely covered in single pane windows. No matter how much I cover my windows its insanely hot in there. Usually only around a 10-12 degree difference. Do I have any leg to stand on to get a bigger or newer unit that would properly keep my apartment cooler as far as the legal department goes?

Cause I know they will probably replace the unit i have now with the exact same kind and size expecting that to be a miracle cure(past experience), and in doing so they like to claim that they have done everything they could hence making them not at default.

Anyone have experience with this?
