I want to fight a speeding ticket because the state highway patrolman had said he had clocked me going 70 in a 55 while he was passing me in the opposite lane with 3 other cars in front of him. Now, not everyone is going to believe me, but I was using my cruise control and it was set at 60. He also gave me a warning for following to close to the car in front of me, which was doing under 50. Is it worth it to fight this ticket, or should I just pay the $114?

Ive been looking on the web for defense weapons, and i came across a pair of clear knuckles made of bulletproof glass. i know that brass knuckles are illegal because they break bone but the clear ones they break the skin. But i don't know if they are legal in the NY. I need something to protect me in this creepy county. that could be legally concealed in my pocket without a permit. thats not a knife

He commuted libby's sentence for lying and perjury, and will pardon him before he leaves office. Will he also pardon Bill Clinton for lying? Or will Bush continue to be a hypocrite and take the law into his own hands?

I was recently told that universal healthcare is a bad idea and that it wont work and that it hasnt worked in other countries that have it. I really know nothing about it aside from the obvious it is funded by the gov. and offers healthcare to all citizens (sounds good to me). But can anyone give some examples of when it hasnt worked or when it has??

We all know that Aztlan is the SouthWest of the USA... all that occupied territory that once belonged to Mexico and now is part of the USA.
.... all those lands settled by Iberians.. (Poruguese and Spanish speaking Immigrants...documented or undocumented))
..........but that is history!
Aztlan within the Aztec cosmovision is also history....

Now,tell me the first four U.S states that you think when thinking in Aztlan.
Thx.

Giuliani recently used the ol' "democrats make us less safe" mantra and it's simply NOT true. Democrats care just as much about the safety of the American people as anyone else! Maybe MORE. Why didn't Bush want a Department of Homeland Security? Why didn't Bush want an investigation into 9/11? Why hasn't Bush asked for legislation to stop suspected TERRORISTS from BUYING GUNS? Why was Bush going to allow the United Arab Emirates to BUY major PORTS in New York? Why hasn't Bush asked for legislation or budgeted money to ensure containers coming into those ports are properly inspected? Why hasn't Bush focused on finding Bin Laden? Anyone?

Libby lied, got caught, and got convicted. Then he got his sentence commuted, and will be pardoned when Bush leaves office. Clinton lied, got caught, and got impeached. No matter how you look at it, its hypocritical. And the argument that Libby did nothing wrong is BS, we was convicted by 12 honest people, in a trial overseen by a Bush appointed judge. Yet another case of the GOP thinking they are special.

Many seem to have a problem with capitalistic, expensive haircuts. In a capitalistic and free society, people can charge whatever they want for a haircut, and people have the right to pay or go somewhere else. To be against this would have to be some sort of socialized, regulated haircut system. I guess they have this in the military. Or maybe they don't get haircuts. But they seem to complain about hippies a little too much for this to be true.

You say USA is the strongest military nation, okay I'll give you that on paper. But they have never won a modern war on their own. Take a look back at Dec 16,1944... 90,000 Americans surrounded to Germany. USA never fought well, and are overated. They took all the credits of the allies. It is all hype,but no show. What about Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq? And USA never really defeated the enemy in world war one, (they came at the end anyways) and Einstein created the bomb.

The reason that many men become masons is that it is a way to gain ties to wealthy, powerful men. Freemasonry is now an indispensable key to high office. Fremasons are very secretive about their fundamental beliefs. Why, you might ask, is this? It is because high-level masons believe that satan is above God. They are a secret society of satanists. Many of the World's masonic leaders (including Bush, Clinton, and many other elite policy makers) meet every year at the Bohemian Club in California in order to participate in a mock human sacrifice. Before on brave man sneaked into the Bohemian club in 2000 and videotaped the mock human sacrifice, called "The cremation of Care," they denied that the ritual took place. It aired on BBC, but it never reached the American airwaves.

It is ridiculous that this information is often called conspiracy theory, because it has been documented and published.

We have a chance of getting someone DIFFERENT into office (Ron Paul)...someone who is honest and wants America to return to the Constitution and all that it stands for.

But, since main stream media is shoving Obama, Clinton, and Romney down our throats, that is all people want to talk about.

Can those three even spell Constitution? From what I have seen, the answer is no.

AND, if the main stream media were to splatter Ron Paul's name everywhere, would people like him then? I have come to the conclusion that in general the voting populace only gives credit to those that we are told to give credit to. Can the American people not think for themselves?

I just think that it is extremely sad that main stream media dictates who our elected officials are.

President (oops I meant) Senator Obama says it best:
"We have no good options right now in Iraq," said Obama, calling for a phased deployment before the end of next year and a redeployment in Afghanistan where he said al-Qaida is regaining strength.


"We should have been hunting down bin Laden. It's been five years and I don't know why he's still rebuilding al-Qaida," Obama said, arguing that the country needs to rebuild its status in the world by making sure it's cooperating with other countries, by increasing the number of Arab linguists, and investing in homeland security.

"We can fight terrorism as aggressively as necessary and we can do it in a way that fosters global cooperation," said Obama.

I know the Bush administration finds this concept mind-boggling, but do conservative voters comprehend the idea of taking the war to the people actually responsible for 9/11, and that pulling out of Iraq is not equal to surrender?

In my mind, the issue is simple. Who owns the life? We love our freedom and our power of self-determination. Our love of freedom should dictate that an adult of sound mind should be allowed to decide how he should die. When our love of life and love of freedom collide, freedom takes priority.

No law allowing an action requires that action, meaning that no one would be required to commit suicide, assisted or otherwise. Along the same lines, no doctor ever has to perform a surgery to which he or she objects, such as abortion. He or she would likewise not have to assist with a suicide against his or her will.

The Hipocratic Oath is "first, do no harm." The act of extending a life of suffering arguably violates that oath, so assisting suicide can be argued as upholding it.

So, to allow assisted suicide supports freedom of choice, supports the Hipocratic Oath, supports our love of self-determination.

Al Gore isn't the same thing as global warming. Attack him all you want, but it doesn't disprove anything about a scientific theory that he happens to talk about alot. It's like claiming that God doesn't exist because the Pope is a jerk (it's an analogy, I'm not saying the Pope is a jerk).
