I asked this before, but now we're a bit further in the race
and a member of the group was on Colbert, O'reilly, and Countdown since then . (I'll ask this again later)

how do you feel about unity in 08?
do you think we could do it?
if you filled out a 'dream ticket' who did you choose?
do you think the best government could come from a mix of both sides?

for those not filmiliar with unity '08:
unity08.org
http://unity08.org/faq#AA

unity '08 wants to create a ticket that will have a president from one party and vice president from another.
this could be a Dem/GOP ticket or one of the major parties' candidate with a third party candidate.

One Chicken, One Road, Many Reasons

Why did the chicken cross the road?

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

PLATO: For the greater good of man.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

OSAMA BIN LADEN: That chicken knew nothing of its mission (ha ha ha) only that it would be a martyr.

SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

RONALD REAGAN: I forget.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and uccessfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes.The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?"

FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"

CHARLES DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road... it transcended it.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

BILL CLINTON: I did not, and I repeat, did not have sexual relations with that chicken.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hard working American.

L.A.P.D.: Give us five minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!

GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

GEORGE W. BUSH: The chicken crossed the road because he was an evil-doer, and we smoked him out of his hole and got him on the run!

My friend had something stolen from a common area in his apartment - there is a security camera pointed directly on the area it was stolen from. He spoke to the management of the apartment and was told the camera wasn't working - and that this had happened before (something stolen and camera broken). Can he recover damages from the apartment - claiming fraud or liable?

Thanks a lot for your help guys. I'd like to help him out b/c he doesn't have a ton of money and he really needed his laptop.

Foul called on locked hoops
Parent to file complaint against Brown Deer schools

*****Some African-American residents in the village think, however, that the device is robbing youths of their right to use the courts. They think the action is racially motivated, and they're letting the school district know.*****

THE REASON:
Peuse said the decision to place the devices on the hoops came after two "troubling" incidents at the courts.

"We recently had a situation where students leaving the court were robbed," he said. "One day we had some gunshots."

Lt. Robert Halverson of the Brown Deer Police Department said Tuesday that there have been at least eight incidents at the site.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- We fall behind most other industrialized nations in just about every area of social need. In percentage of one-year-old children fully immunized against polio, we are number seventeen.

- Averaging over the first years of the new millennium, the United States spends circa $5,200 per person on health care. Canada $2,900; Germany $2,800; Switzerland $2,600; Britain $2,200. Yet, each of them boasts of a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality, and better U5MRs than we. All have a national health care service that covers all their people. No one is shut out.

- The United States is the only industrialized nation of 28 that does not guarantee access to health care as a right of citizenship.

- Many like to label nationalized health care as "socialist," yet any intelligent citizen KNOWS that we all, already bear the cost and burden for the uninsured. We're already paying the tab.

People are divided on the Illegal peoples issue in most western Countries. They are taking our jobs, working for less than minimum wage etc. Not contributing to the tax and social security/ national Insurance etc. this applies to their employers too.

If an illegal were paid minimum wage wouldn’t this cause a huge surge in inflation, especially in produce farming. If Mr illegal is now paid double what he used to get, will vegetables, fruits and wine double in price too?

Would Citizens also do those jobs for minimum wage or should it be for even more money?

Would this cause a recession to all of our detriment?

Do we need this cheap labour/labor to keep inflation down?

Do you think this is why the Governments don't stop illegal peoples working, are they too afraid of the consequences?

Let me know what you think

Are way getting close to the end? I mean it certainly appears that terrorism and local crime is forcing our government to take away our freedoms. The right to privacy is virtually gone! As I am posting this very thing on the internet via Yahoo answers. There could be a hundred people watching it. I could care less, but my point is: We are getting closer and closer (U.S.) to a communist government. Closer than we ever have before! What do you see happening in the near future? With all of the violence, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran trying to get nukes. North Korea already has them! Russia getting angry at us for putting up a missle defense system in Europe. Are we close to ww3?

Is it the U.S. for tightening their sovereign borders or is it Mexico for making life so intolerable that people migrate?

Or do you believe the sole responsibility is on the shoulders of the individuals who made the stupid decision to make the illegal trip without sufficient supplies?

The House of Representatives passed a bill demanding an end to the war in 120 days.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289153,00.html
What are these people doing!?! The president is sure to veto it, so basicaly they have passed a bill that does nothing but say we give up. How do these idiots expect the troops to react? They obviously don't care anything about the troops if they so thoughtlessly strike a blow against moral while accomplishing nothing. They are so worried about covering themselves infront of their misinformed districts. Why even pretend you support the troops while telling them, the Iraqis and the rest of our allies our government intends to sell them out. If our suck up government pulls out before giving the troops a chance(no non-conventional war has been won in 6 years, do some research) all we'll get is another generation of veterans who've had their victory stolen from them, about a million dead Iraqis, and a haven, training ground, and staging area for Al-Qaeda

Our country seems to be teetering on what some would consider the most dangerous political slope in our history..with gallup polls reporting around a 14 percent favorable rating of congress and just over 20 percent favorable rating towards our president...Personally I think we need to hold emergency elections and clean out all of the political debris. I wish some of the politicians in office would take a look at themselves and realize they would be fired in any other job with those numbers and resign from office. I think we should start massive petitions to rescind the previous elections and start all over from scratch...
