Is it because the US soldiers just bomb away being to inept or cowardly to fight on the ground, hence the tremendous number of civilian dead? Is it because the US leaders are too busy stealing taxes via the "rebuilding" of Iraq and fighting the "war on terror" to have a good strategy?

The big complaint by congress, supported by the media, is that there are just too many millions of illegals to deport, so that the only option is to ignore their crime and give them preferential treatment vs. others who are trying to immigrate legally. Grant them amnesty because there are too many millions to enforce.

So, does that mean if we all decided to stop paying taxes as of the next day, that they would be cool with that too? After all, there would be too many BILLIONS of us to enforce it.

One way this could be done is, if they pass amnesty, we all put our mail in the mailboxes WITHOUT STAMPS for the month that follows. THE ENTIRE MONTH. And demand that congress see to it that the letters are sent anyway.

It would send a message that is very symbolic (a good parallel to the Stamp Act that triggered the revolution). And after all, we'd be in the right because it's just too many to enforce.

What do you think?

Do inmates in California have a Parole hearing or other type of hearing before being released back into society? I'm referring here in the situation where the women may be released before all her time is served. (Does this still happen in California: Time off for good behavior?) Let's say if you have a 2 year and 8 month sentencing, would you have a hearing for early release/parole/probation? If yes, after how much time served? (Our local drug dealer has been locked up now for 7 months. She is female if that makes any difference. We want to brace the neighborhood for her return.) Are parole hearings only for life sentences and not these 'shorter' sentences? Are those with shorter sentences now required to serve their entire sentence? (There have been some changes in California law recently.) Thanks for your help.

Subject: Let's keep an eye on this guy!


Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein
Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein
Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya
and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita , Kansas .

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When
Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His
father returned to Kenya . His mother then married
Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia .

When Obama was 6 years old, the famil y relocated to
Indonesia . Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta .
He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama
takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a
Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a
Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it
appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his
father, and that this influence was temporary at best.


In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya . Soon
after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the
second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in
a Wahabi school in Jakarta . Wahabism is the radical
teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who
are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian
when seeking major public office in the United States ,
Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of
Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected
presidential candidacy. Please forward to everyone
you know. The Muslims have said they plan on
destroying the US from the inside-out. What better
way to start than at the highest level.

Rudy Giuliani — Matt Taibbi recently made the case that the former NYC mayor is actually “worse than Bush.” Giuliani is autocratic, thin-skinned, and self-absorbed. He’s inexperienced, ignorant about policy specifics, and his only selling point (performance on 9/11) doesn’t stand up well to scrutiny. His campaign is built around demagoguery — driven solely by fear.

* John McCain — A shadow of his former self, the senator appears to be a man who’ll do anything to win. McCain is combative and intolerant of dissent. He defends the indefensible and lashes out angrily at anyone who dares to disagree with him. He’s become dishonest, condescending, and egotistical, while pandering shamelessly to some of the worst elements in Republican politics.

* Mitt Romney — The man appears to have no real convictions at all. On most of the major political issues of the day, Romney believed the exact opposite fairly recently, and has struggled to explain his metamorphosis from moderate governor to far-right candidate.

* Fred Thompson — The actor/lobbyist/senator doesn’t seem to have any real rationale for seeking the presidency, other than the belief he might win. Thompson is at least as phony as Romney — the red truck story should be humiliating to him — and developed a Bush-like reputation for being lazy and incurious. He considers moving to northern Virginia “getting out of Washington” and his most valuable skill seems to be his ability to pretend to be someone else.

But are given the opportunity to leave .. . .. But Don't . . ..Are you then a terrorist supporter ?

I'm referring to the current situation in Gaza . Palestinians have been given the opportunity to leave Gaza and go to the West Bank if they don't like their current Terroristic Government . Some undoubtedly will , but I'm talking about the ones who will stay . I think Hamas is being even further isolated by the U.S. and EU . Both have strenuously pledged full support for Fatah who is currently in control in the West Bank . And I think I have an idea of what is to come . Separating the seed from the chaff so to speak . And if / when Hamas gets attacked , very little or at least less concern will be given to so-called civilian casualties . Basically , if you support Terrorism , then you are a Terrorist .

What Are Your Thoughts ?

The woman begins to create a Trust account for her great-grandchildren, with the money that is in the account. The papers to create the trust are signed by the woman and include the names of who the money is for. The papers were submitted to the bank for finalization. The bank never finishes it's part. The woman's daughter, who is on the account, withdrawals the money. She promises to pay it back. The woman passes away, so the woman's daughter never pays the money back, and completely ignores any request for the money to be paid back. This woman then passes away. Would those papers be enough proof to hold up in court that the money is to be repaid to the names on the papers?? Thanks for any advice!!
I'm just curious about the paperwork itself, not whether the bank finished it's part or not. I just want to know if the paper would be proof enough to take court the money is owed.

Back in revolutionary Iran in 1979, the students released African-American hostages in a show of "solidarity." Even today whenever hostages are taken they are rarely, if ever, black. Do terrorist believe little value is taken of black hostages? Or do they do so in a show of "solidarity?"

Dr. Kalam is a world renowned scientist, bachelor, quite above board without any political bias. He has acquitted himself quite well and if he could be prevailed upon to continue (of course, by consensus as he rightly said) will assuage political bickerings. Needless to say, it is advisable to have a non-political figure with eminent stature to be the constitutional head of the government of a country, particularly India, where political peace and tranquility are the need of the hour, to march forward with rapid economic reforms, political reforms not to mention! It is only then and then alone that the dreams of our founding fathers--remained a far cry till today--could be put on the rails leading to the destination of realisation some day in the future! "Don't wish for the change, be the change yourself," as Gandhiji said. Though we claim we are a free, independent country, did we ever taste 'freedom' as such to improve our lot, except the freedom to fight among ourselves?

My landlord is threatening to evict me because I'm 1 3/4 months behind on rent. I haven't paid my rent because the range (kitchen was furnished by landlord) hasn't worked since I moved in, causing me to buy a camping stove just to be able to cook. I checked the fuses and determined the range itself is the problem. All of my complaints about this, both in voicemail and in person, have been ignored. Am I within my rights to refuse him rent since he's refused me maintenance?
