With all of the nigerian scammers and other release of 3rd party information to internet criminals, is this website ( http://www.suwanneesheriff.com/ ) even legal under Code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995? It shows pictures addresses and more information about inmates and previous inmates that have been booked at the Suwannee Valley Sheriff's department. I see how it would be beneficial to expose information about felons and pedophiles like the FBI website does,but is it really fair that there is public information about people who drove while their license was suspended displayed on a website? Who would want to live in Suwannee County (or Live Oak) knowing that their information would be put on this website for internet criminals to obtain?Another indication that this website might not even be legal under the Constitution is by the spelling errors contained in it.Look at http://www.suwanneesheriff.com/Inmates.aspx?BookingNum=070001185 BRUGLARY?

I live in a small community (only 10 apartments) the apartments are for disabled people and senior citizens. There is one neighbor that always disturbs the peace. I have told my landlord about this. When my neighbors family comes that is when the disturbance starts. I can always tell when her family visits all of their cars have mufflers and her family drives like they are in an auto race. When her family talks they are shouting. I can hear them in my apartment.

My lease says there should be no disturbance that disrupts the enjoyment of the community and failure to obey these rules can result in termination of the lease. I have told my landlord about the loud neighbor over and over. I even called a police officer on her. The landlord says none of the other residents have complained. I said maybe it's because they are older and can't hear as well. Nothing has been done as of yet.

Does anyone know what I can do to get this problem resolved??

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
with counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
and spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,
just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
to his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It Happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, and gave us his all,
and a part of America died.

So how would you honor the men and women of law enforcement?

Mine is this poem. What is yours?

Both sides are beating their drums and clanging their cymbals as loudly as they can, but they aren't changing anyone's mind on the other side.

Could it be more than the opposition simply refusing to hear your views? Maybe they CAN'T hear what you say.

Perhaps fundamental parts of how we reason are genetically coded, and there is variability in the 'reasoning genes' throughout the human population. Most people's 'logical wiring' works similarly, thus the idea of 'common sense'. But there are smaller groups whose reasoning works differently. Arguments that make 'natural sense' to one such group could literally be gibberish to another.

This could explain the remarkable endurance of certain conflicts, and why certain groups, like pro-life and pro-choice, seem to be permanently enmeshed in arguments with no seeming resolution.

The good news is we have higher facilities of reasoning, and can overcome our flawed programming through education and intellectual honesty.

It is clear that there has been a coordinated effort to unite Mexico and America by some of our high office executives. The immigration bill and the spp plan layed out by the Secretary of Commerce. All I can say is that when all of this is over there is social and economic damage that will need to be assessed. Fines will be levied, and sentences will be served.

Vice President Dick Cheney has asserted his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government, and therefore not bound by a presidential order governing the protection of classified information by government agencies, according to a new letter from Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., to Cheney.

Bill Leonard, head of the government's Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), told Waxman's staff that Cheney's office has refused to provide his staff with details regarding classified documents or submit to a routine inspection as required by presidential order, according to Waxman.

In pointed letters released today by Waxman, ISOO's Leonard twice questioned Cheney's office on its assertion it was exempt from the rules. He received no reply, but the vice president later tried to get rid of Leonard's office entirely, according to Waxman.

Since the US takes credit for developing the Internet, does that also make them liable for the proliferation of text-based culture? In that case, can I sue them for the money it would cost to re-educate or properly educate people who are losing or completely lack grammar, spelling, English structure and communication skills? Since they do little to prevent or correct it, should they not be held liable for a generation of illiterate or semi-literate children?

This is interesting.
So often, we get caught up in a debate over political semantics and end up ignoring the hard-shell realities of what we're talking about. According to immigrationCounters.com, Here are some of the realities that Flake-Gutierrez Bill would airbrush out of the picture:
Number of Illegal Aliens in the Country 20,807,645
Money Wired to Mexico City since January, 2006 $22,213,001,672.00
Cost of Social Security Services for Illegal Aliens since 1996 $397,450,739,563.00
Number of Children of Illegal Aliens in Public Schools 3,958,789
Cost of Illegal Aliens in K-12 Since 1996: $13, 965,063,431.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Incarcerated 332,594
Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001 $1,398,127,429.00
Number of Illegal Aliens Fugitives 642,799
Skilled Jobs Taken by Illegal Aliens 9,872,838

Figures can trick your eyes. Take particular note that items 2,3,5, and 7 reflect BILLION not millions of dollars -- and that item 3 exceeds one-third of a TRILLION dollars.
Can you imagine how much it will cost taxpayers if we triple the number of Illegals entering this country!!
****************
So, What's in a Billion?.......
Granted................. this is from the US!
The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . .

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), and David Vitters(R) are presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.

c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

Washington, DC. .... HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

This is too true.........And these numbers don't lie.........and, it's not funny!!

Regardless of the number of candidates or their shortcomings, Americans cannot expect to be adeqately represented if they are not willing to study the candidates and let their voices be heard in the voting booth.
I can still remember the first time I voted. It is not only a duty, but it is a privilege and your vote does matter. One vote may not sway an election. However, one vote, plus another vote, plus millions of votes will win one.
Few of us will ever be fortunate enough to have the honor of serving our country in government as an elected official, so it behooves us to vote for those who most closely reflect our ideals, beliefs, and opinions.

During a visit, my grandfather molested me and my sister when we were little kids. I told my parents, but they didn't understand just how bad the situation was. I'm not sure why, but they didn't know all the details that I tried to tell them when I was little. My grandfather is now back in town staying with some of my relatives. My relatives don't seem to understand what happened. I think some of them don't even want to know what happened. My parents now want to help me press charges, but we don't know what steps we should take in that direction. I'm 21 years old now. What do I do? He lives in Colombia and I know that he had been living in a house where a bunch of young girls were also staying. How do I stop this sick man and prevent him from hurting anyone else?
