I like the fact that Coast to Coast has constantly supported the lizard men for President. I am afraid the fairness doctrine will force them to give equal time to the shadow people.

Does anyone else share this concern?

In Australia, there is a policy of multi-culturalism, where immigrants are free to do anything they like, as long as they obey the laws. So far this policy is working, and Australia is THE most accepting place for immigrants in the world. Outside of the riots in Sydney (which was caused more from gangs), it has been harmonious. Almost all nationalities are represented, and there has been no problem is in America.

So, is the European idea of asimulation better or worse than mult-culturalism in Australia?

Article V of the Constitution allows for this to occur, but is it possible without the public knowing?

Could the recent poll saying 41% of Americans still believe that Saddam had evolvement with 911 be real? If so how could this be?
Within the last year the White House and Bush himself said Saddam had no involvement. The House and Senate and major press say no involvement.

I know there were initial "implications" for a while, but I thought the truth was now out.

So why still 41%? How come?

I live in the state of California and had a question regarding a job I applied for. After inquiring about the job I found out that my application was no longer being considered. This has not happen to me before, and even though I am not upset, I did inquire with the HR person who told me my application was no longer being considered, and asked her why it was not being considered anymore. It has been over a week, and I think that I am being ignored. Mainly because she has returned all of my e-mails very quickly accept for this one. I heard a long time ago that by law an employer must tell the applicant the reason why they are no longer being considered. Does anyone know if this is true or not, and if so can you please direct me to a legitimate website where I can see an explanation of this law. I don’t like how this company has blown-off its applicants and want to peruse this further.

For all the military people out there: our grandfathers fought WWI; our fathers fought WWII. We all know those were legitimate and fair wars, fought for a just cause. History recognizes those who fought in the trenches as real heroes. Now, knowing that we all were misled into invading Iraq (a country that couldnt even defend itself, with economic santctions, with insepectors on its grounds, with a nofly zone all around its border, etc, etc), how do you feel? Dont you wish to be fighting for a just cause (like Churchil's army, or Roosvelt's warriors) instead of fighting for Bush's, Cheney's, Rummy's and Wolfowitz's little agendas? Do you think history and this country will recognize you as heroes?

Neighbor has a pool, with an attached pool cover across the top. The residing children invited the neighbor children over to play. The residing children told the visiting children it was "fun" and "okay" to run across the cover. This kind of "play" occured during three seperate visits. The first visit the parent of the residing family was present and supervising this play. The second visit a parent was present but no supervision around the pool. The third visit (The visit the pool cover tore) There was no parent home or supervising. It was on that visit the pool liner eventually tore due to the burden of children running across the top. Upon discovery the residing parent has confronted the neighbor parents and is demanding full compensation.
The pool liner was ripped apx. 2 feet. Since then the cover has remained atop the pool and over a sweeper and has since ripped an additional 7 feet.
1.Who is liable?
2.To which extent?
3.Would this be a claim for Home owners Insurance?

If a person has been granted a job at a “California” medical institution with an offer in writing, but later the offer is pulled because he refuse the MMR vaccination due to religious reasons, would it be illegal since he/she has been discriminated based on “religion?”

Let's assume two scenarios:
a) he'll only work in a call center with no client contact.
b) he works at various doctor offices and throughout the institution.

Is there a California State or Federal law that provides an exemption to immunization, and if so, does the exemption part of the law covers all business types? The institution I have in mind is a California public institution. I am particularly interested to hear from lawyers who are in the employment and health profession.

I'm given the reason that if I'm not vaccinated, then I can infect others, however, I disagree in that this issue deals with me. If others are exposed, and they are not vaccinated, then it was their choice.

Thanks

I agree that global warming is something that we all have to grieve and that denial is one of the steps of grieving. And I hope that we can get past the denial to come up with our own creative and egalitarian local, regional, national, and international solutions. When you look at the positive energy that could accompany such a challenge, instead of feeling powerless, it could be a positive thing in our lives.

I mean think about it, the fall of the USSR led to a weaker and less secure Russia, and considering it was right after the Cold War, 1000s of weapons became ungarded and free for the taking.

Personally I think this acess to weapons likes these greatly benefited many of the evils around the world.

Well there's some recent news that Dick Cheney doesnt believe that he is a part of the executive branch because occasionally he's a tie breaker in Congress. Although it clearly says in the Constitution that the Vice President is part of the executive branch. My logic is, he's not in the Supreme Court so he's not in the judicial branch. He's not a senator or representative, so he's not in the legistlative. Therefore he's obviously in the executive, unless he thinks that he suddenly has the power to create his own 4th branch. Anybody want to possibly explain how Cheney can possibly think he's not part of the executive branch?

My wife was teaching in a private college till January 2007. In November she applied for a passport. When we inquired with the passport office Jaipur in May 2007, we were told that she requires an NOC. However, this link -https://passport.gov.in/pms/InstructionsForm1.htm , mentions that NOC is required only for persons working in central/state government or Public undertakings.
I have few questions now:
1. Where can we file a complaint against the passport officer as he is not ready to accept that NOC is NOT required for private college teachers?
2. How can we get her passport?
TIA

FORWARD OPERATING BASE THUNDER, Afghanistan The story of a 6-year-old Afghan boy who says he thwarted an effort by Taliban militants to trick him into being a suicide bomber provoked tears and anger at a meeting of tribal leaders.
The account from Juma Gul, a dirt-caked child who collects scrap metal for money, left American soldiers dumbfounded that a youngster could be sent on such a mission. Afghan troops crowded around the boy to call him a hero.

If someone were to rise up against the way things are handled in the political world in the United States government and propose the idea of completely getting rid of political parties would the person be able to get backing from the American public? I know the government wouldnt support it but if the public could all rise up it is very possoble to stop the madness that is caused by political parties.

To think that people wouldn't research and question the official story of 9/11? (And if you haven't yet, you should).

WATCH LOOSE CHANGE!!!
And don't let anyone tell you that it's unpatriotic to question the government. Those that died deserve the truth.
