Colorado is one of them, New York is another. Sheldon Silver is a representative of NY. He refuses to pass Jessica's Law. It is my opinion that anyone who stands in the way of protecting children from sexual predators is probably a sexual predator himself. I have sent letters and emails to several Senators and only heard back from one. The Governor of Maryland responded with the good news that he had passed Jessica's Law in May. In my opinion, if an adult is sexually attracted to a child, that person should have a hand grenade shoved up their a** and have their perverted little head blown off.

.. for the inspiration you've given me!
Your blind parroting of your political leaders has reminded me that while people say they want the truth, they don't know where to find it.

Your falsification of the facts has given me the inspiration to provide the 'ground' truth. Not even a liar likes to be lied to and when the people have seen through your lies, they will be utterly disgusted with you.

Your hatred for your protectors is the 'normal' reaction of the sheep to its guarddog, but have no worries, we'll still do our best to keep the wolf at bay.

Your resort to name calling demonstrates your lack of justifiable counter-argument.

Yes, you've spouted your hatred and lies enough. You've awoken me to the need for truth. Hold on tight for we are in for a ride that could be disastrous for your dear politicians that trample the bodies of my fallen brothers.

The numbers of thumbs up or something other than asker and voters counts, I mean let's face many askers just choose based on agreement rather than arguement, and after a few days how many really go back on "vote" a best answer, maybe the consensus of the community via the thumbs up system would be a more accurate refelction of communitty standards here on Y/A, I'm sure it can be gamed like any other method but seems the right way still or................................................state an alternative but more honest method

in certain states of the US you can shoot and kill an intruder to your property. here in the UK the chances are you would be prosecuted for damaging a burglar who was unarmed-it is my beleif that we should be allowed to defend our homes as we see fit with immunity from prosecution-so for example if i catch a scroat trying to break into my car i can administer instant justice and all the police will do is take him to the local hospital-your thoughts please.

Today I read the Yahoo News article, "Enduring a rare disease with no cure", regarding the rare incurable brain disorder "Batten" disease, that restricts the brain from creating a necessary enzyme that rids the brain of waste. Dead cells then back up and destroy the brain, eventually leading to a vegetable state and death.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070714/ap_on_re_us/batten_disease;_ylt=Aio94doWu55SU2.J.w8qczhH2ocA

Pharmacuetical companies are not interested in funding medical studies on rare diseases, mainly interested in more common, 'financially productive and plentiful' diseases, more lucratively compatable to their money making criterea. I am angered that the government doesn't employ a "forced charter criterea" which allows companies to make their BILLIONS" but also requires a certain percentage of funding in lieu of tax breaks, in order to battle less financially gainful diseases. Not being able to afford to keep healthy is one thing, being too CHEAP to, is another.

I asked a question last week why does our government give money on other countries and states like Kansas and NO,& OK have to wait. for help???
As an American would you help another American before you help another country. Would you send blankets and sheets and towels to those in America who lost them to floods??

or Would you rather brag about what you did for a far away land???

Here's a suggestion for a border state. Illegals come to the US and have their anchor baby born on american soil. Their baby is a US citizen because of the way the 14th amendment is being interpreted. However, the 14th amendment has nothing to do with immigration, it was intended to end slavery. Therefore the law is being exploited. I suggest that the states stop giving government benefits to the "so-called" anchor babies, and deny them citizenship. Then the state will get taken to court. The supreme court would probably hear it because its a constitutional issue. Then when the supreme court correctly reinterprets the 14th amendment, we can strip millions of legals, who have illegally received their citizenship....no more anchor babies. It would be a huge blow to illegals' hopes of citizenship, and I suspect the illegals would go home. I challenge a state to do just that. I mean a legal fight is much cheaper than paying benefits to those who aren't entitled.

The part that states we have the "right to keep and bear arms" makes it sound pretty obvious, but often times people ignore the purpose behind it - to form a "well regulated militia". Do the American people constitute a well regulated militia? What do you think?

INTRODUCTION
"You know you never defeated us on the
battlefield," said the American colonel.
The North Vietnamese colonel pondered
this remark a moment. "That may be so,"
he replied, "but it is also irrelavent."
Conversation in Hanoi, April 19751
This project began with the question, "How could a
country win all the battles, and yet still lose the war?"
How could a country which is as rich and powerful as our
own, superior in every measurable category of military
strength, emerge as the loser with one of the world's
smallest and poorest countries? Why are our greatest
victories remembered as defeats? Why would a Congress that
approved the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964 with only two
dissenting votes turn its back on its South Vietnamese ally
when the North Vietnamese launched a full-scale conventional
invasion only eight years later?
In seeking answers to these questions it became readily
apparent that the American defense of South Vietnam was
brought to its unhappy conclusion not by a failure of
American arms, but rather by a failure of American will.
Former President Nixon said it this way:
The War in Vietnam was not lost on the
battlefields of Vietnam. It was lost
in the halls of Congress ... in the
editorial rooms of great newspapers ...
and in the classrooms of great
universities.2
