Could Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards actually be right about something? Not where to go to get a haircut, mind you, I mean about there being two Americas.

There is the vibrant America . . . and the stagnant one.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/PaulJacob/2007/06/24/the_two_americas

Maybe the better way to say it:..Is there two Americas??..one productive and vibrant with new ideas and inventions...and a lazy one that feels its owed something and blames its problems on those who are productive and votes for politicians who will punish that productivity with tax's that will fund their laziness...what do you think?

Do you think this can happen? (isn't it that way in most futuristic flicks?)
I was listening to Bob Marleys "War" earlier and I thought of this question.
It is one of his most amazing songs that applies to whats going on today. You should check it out.

Also, would the digital utility uniform change from squares to little brown green and black pot leaves? Perhaps, the EGA would be blue and on the left side.

Except by its own definition, of course.

We are strongly conditioned by pro-government propaganda to put government in a category separate from "crime organizations," but what real difference is there? The only distinctions are arbitrary, ad hoc, and self-serving ones that the government itself defines.

Governments claim a territory and write rules for the people who live there. So do crime organizations.

Crime organizations routinely perpetrate extortion, abduction, theft, and robbery. Crime organizations murder people for substantial acts of defiance. Crime organizations engage in wars with similar organizations. And governments also do all of these things. The only differences are in the names used for the activities, with government always having the benefit of the more respectful synonym.

For example, when a crime organization charges a fee to let a captive go free, we call it ransom; when the government does it, we call it bail.

Is there really any difference?

Gorden Brown and George Bush want to make the moderates stronger in the middle east.

How when poitics is so divisive - and where the extremes on both sides are of the opinion that you are either for us or against us..or that you either agree with Isreal or you're a anti semite etc...or you are either muslim or you're a godless infidel - can they possibly strengthen the moderates?

Also it appears that Tony Blair is possibly going to be envoy to the middle east from the unted nations..

How do you think he'll do? Bearing in mind he has actually had some success in Northern Ireland, getting two bitterely opposing sides of the religious spectrum talking to each other?

Is this the war on freedom? can we really say that, having to sign a government list while checking out certin books from the Librarry, Being spied on and then lied to, and actually using "delayed warrents for searching people is helpig us fight terror?
When we trade liberty for security..who really wins? When we ask questions about the war only to be asked in return " why are you asking questions about the war?" What kind of a system is that?
I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Democrat. But When our leader Insults our objections and pleas of concern and then gives himself the label "Educator in Cheif" it sounds like they are trying to take the power of our voices away.
They have a saying in the Army "failing to plan is planning to fail" If we just sit back and ride this out like we have been doing, enduring the highly questionable changes and attempted changes to our constitution. what will our future be like?don't you the freedom to object and not be ivestigated

Please don't make false claims about how Canadians hate their healthcare in your answer.

You can ask Canadians on here about what they think, like this:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Akn3.zxJSCQc6gMUMQ1BNjbty6IX?qid=20070623225538AAcdktp

Also, do not make these same false claims against the French, The English, Cubans or any other civilized nation with socialized healthcare. It is flat-out NOT true.

Please restrict your answer to whether it would be GOOD for United States citizens and whether you think we would vote for it.

from their job and the disgruntled employer was paying them a regular standard pay and paying them in other ways i.e. :backdoor/ under the table. For similar work of another bussiness owned by this same employer, as he did for other employees i.e.: paying credit accts not associated with the bussiness, cell phone bills, allowing company fuel cards to be used for personal recreation,etc. just to name a few.
Now he is claiming my friend had frauded the company and is sueing for repayment of these wages over the last 10 years.this employer has practiced this type of wage paying for more than 30 years, my friend was employed for 24 years. Im sure that my friend has dirt on the company i.e.: storing of goods illegaly, abuse, discrimination, lying to IRS and revenue canada, and more. Is there anything my friend can do to deter such action in/out of court or even anything that maybe bends but not breaks the string of law?

It's obvious that individual privacy and liberty are destroying America.

Freedom of speech is perhaps our greatest enemy.

When will we rid ourselves of that terrible piece of paper called the U.S. Constitution?

There are two US Government agencies that are trying to get laws that would require that every person be implanted with a tracking device that would take everyone's medical records and put them into a central data base. The idea is for the disaster responce teams to be able to identify people they find who might not be able to talk to them and get the correct medical inteventions needed.

To help insure everyone takes this mark, they plan on tying it to our food supply. The idea is that if you don't get the 'mark' you can not get food to eat.

I just don't remember which agencies are currently involved in trying to get this to become a real legal requirement.

I do know that the company that is making this device has called it 'The Mark' which is a small microchip that is imbedded in glass capsule, that can respond to em pulses much like ID badges now do. This would allow for everyone to be individually tracked. Do you know the US Agencies persueing this?

Legislate against abortion. Legislate against gay marriage. Legislate against stem cell research. Appoint judges whose agenda and decisions are entirely predictable and convince yourself that you believe in limited government so long as you are free to limit others constitutional or God given rights. Those are some of the tenets of limited government. Only fools will believe you limit government by intruding on and trampling others' rights.
