I am very disalusioned with mainstream politics these days as I am sure many of you are too. My dilema is this... I am getting drawn closer and closer to joining the BNP and have voted for them in the last local elections. I believe that they are the only ones prepared to stand up and fight for old fashioned British values. My sister in law is black and born in England and in no way do I want to appear to be racist or be part of a racist organisation, but I feel that we cannot continue taking in freeloaders from other countries, we have enough of our own. Do you consider them to be racist ?

Apparently, it will be four football fields wide. It will start at the Mexican border at Laredo Texas, to the Canadian border North of Dulth, Minn. Containers from the Far East will enter the Mexican Port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the American Longshoreman's Union. The Mexican trucks, WITHOUT the involvement of the AMERICAN TEAMSTERS UNION will travel this Highway through the Center of the USA, to a MEXICAN Customs Office in Kansas City. This Facility is being built for MEXICO at a cost of $3 Million to the U.S. Taxpayers. Then the Containers will either go to Canada, or to other U.S. States. It appears that there are Plans to create the NORTH AMERICAN UNION to replace the USA! Great Reason for trying to pass the Defeated Immigrations Bill.

my husbands grandfather died. and the way the will states, his wife (my husbands grandmother) only has use of the property and would not be able to sell if she would choose to do so. he left everything to his children but if they would want to sell, my husbands grandmother can say "no" and the kids won't be able to sell. this doesn't make sense to me...

Within a couple of days of leadership change in the UK, terror has hit twice. I have heard many times that terrorists struck US interests often before the current administration took over. Now, we are told, nobody has dared strike the US since the decisive action of this administration and our heros like Rudy Giuliani. Aren't we just throwing this hard won freedom away by changing our leaders? If you support elections next year, aren't you supporting the terrorists?

Hi Guys,
I am hoping someone may be able to help. I am moving closer to my work area to make things easier for me and recently I went to view a room in a very nice place and was told I could have it. It was renting from a guy who claimed to be out on business alot and I viewed it while his girlfriend was there.
Originally I thought I was moving in that Sunday which I was certain he said but then it turned out to be the following as 'his parents were staying' so I assumed it was my confusion. Anyway, he was very hard to get hold of on occasions, often replying to my text the following day or having to call him more than once before he answered. Obviously I found this frustrating but since we had arranged a time, date and he knew I had arranged a van to take my things I didn't contemplate he would do what he did, just assumed he was a very busy person and working alot therefore didn't have lots of time on his hands. I thought this seemed a perfectly reasonable explanation as I am often

The growing hatred toward Muslims all over the world regardless of the fact that the majority are not participating in bombing campaigns, has made the vocal condemnation of all Muslims socially acceptable in the West.
I'm sick of it; it's absolutely shameful that more is not done to reign in those who incite hatred toward Muslims, especially in the U.S and Britain
Do they/you truly hate or is it simply a case of lazy politics?

Anyone who pays even the slightest attention to the health-care debate in this country probably knows that there are "44 million uninsured Americans." The figure was all but shouted from the rooftops during the recent Cover the Uninsured Week. It is standard boilerplate for John Kerry's stump speeches. Hillary Clinton, in her recent screed, was unwilling to round off the number: "Some 43.6 million Americans are uninsured, and the vast majority of them are in working families."

The existence of the 44-million figure is a tribute to Benjamin Disraeli's quip that "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." If one accepts the Current Population Survey's numbers (the source for the 44-million statistic), there are in fact closer to 35 million uninsured Americans. Over 20 percent of the uninsured in this country are not citizens.

Yet there is good reason to be skeptical of the CPS's numbers. The CPS is intended to measure the number of people who have been uninsured for an entire year. One problem with the CPS statistic is that it includes both those who are insured for a short time and those who are chronically uninsured (defined as being uninsured for at least a year). Many people go without insurance for a few months often as the result of being between jobs. The CPS statistic of 44 million does not make that distinction.

Another drawback is that CPS asks respondents to recall their insurance status over the last twelve months, increasing the probability of sampling error due to respondents' memory lapses. Last year a paper from the Congressional Budget Office contrasted the CPS with two other surveys, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). MEPS and SIPP track their respondents every few months, so the error due to memory lapse should be minimized. Interestingly, MEPS reported 31 million chronically uninsured, while SIPP reported only 21 million.

Yet even the numbers reported by the MEPS and SIPP surveys overstate the number of uninsured. Some respondents who receive Medicaid may say they are uninsured because of the stigma associated with the Medicaid program. Studies suggest that this may result in an undercounting of the insured by 12 to 15 percent. According to the CBO, "the number of non-elderly people who are enrolled in Medicaid at any time during the year could be undercounted in population surveys by about 4 to 5 million."

Another wrinkle occurs in the definition of the uninsured. There are many people who are eligible for Medicaid but are not enrolled in the program. Some argue that they should be counted as uninsured, while others argue that they should not. The latter group seems to have the stronger case, since such people can receive Medicaid coverage retroactively for health-care expenses. At present, there is no exact data on the number of people who are eligible for Medicaid but not enrolled. The most recent study, from 1994, estimated that about 2.9 million children who were uninsured were eligible for Medicaid.

Finally, it is important to note that, according to the SIPP survey, over 18 percent of the chronically uninsured say that they have gone without insurance because either they have not needed it or do not believe in it. When the various factors are accounted for, it is possible that the true number of the chronically uninsured is 12 to15 million.

Does the actual number matter? Either way, one might object, there are still millions who lack health insurance. Actually, it matters a great deal, because those who are most likely to tout the 44-million-uninsured statistic also tend to be the advocates of wholesale reform of the health-care system, usually of the government-run variety. A larger number gives their arguments more weight.

Second, understanding the actual magnitude of the problem gives us better direction in terms of policy. Of those chronically uninsured, the vast majority are poor, but over 60 percent are under the age of 35. Thus, the uninsured may be a largely healthy population that could afford to purchase health-care in a more consumer-driven system. Indeed, many of those currently purchasing insurance with health-savings accounts were previously uninsured.

Whatever the solution, we should not let inflated statistics lead us into adopting misguided health-care policies.

Let's say bail is 1000 bux. This is Harris county, Texas (if that makes a difference). The person was busted for shoplifting, and they were fined 214 bux.

Are there any charges, in addition to the bail price of 1000 bux, that must be paid before this person can get out of jail? Are court costs added? How about the fine?
