If we're locking up anyone who has had known dealings with terrorists and locking them up in Guantanomo, did they dig up Ronald Reagan and fly him down there? He admitted to trading arms to Iran (a deal made while he was a private citizen) after all.

Are they making Ollie North share a cell with him?

Hi my husband and i have been living in our house for 10+ years. We have just recently found out that our shed has been on our neighbors property by an inch. We found out by her suddenly suing us for 10,000 dollars. We tried to buy the inch off of her but she wont sell it. I mean the shed it only about 10 by 10 feet. Also, she said if we pay for a survey and move the shed she would call off the lawsuit. We did but she continued to sue. What should we do?

My sister was sexually harassed by a coworker. He did things like ask her to tell him sex stories and kissed her on the cheek and neck. They are independent contractors, meaning they are kind of self-employed. They have one boss, but no Human Resources Department. If this one boss chooses to do nothing about the claims that have been made, what are her options? I have a feeling he's going to choose to take no action. This took place in San Francisco, CA

I know that some people on The Hill have already proclaimed that our efforts in Iraq have failed, but why do Democrats (and Liberals) want us to lose the war? Last time I checked, surrendering was just another word for defeat.

Isn't it scary to you that the Left wants our troops to lose so that the Democrats can make political gain? Believe it or not, no one enjoys war. Everyone would love to have our boys home. And please, spare us the argument that we shouldn't have gone to Iraq in the first place. We're there now, so until we invent a time machine, please refrain from those comments.

OK, I've been trying to get a divorce from my abusive husband for 6 months. I just went to a child support hearing with my lawyer on Friday and the judge said I am certainly owed support, but she has no jurisdiction because the father is in OK and I'm in FL. She said the interstate unit of the Child Support Enforcement agency is supposed to handle my case. The problem is, they aren't. I opened a case with them almost 11 months ago, and they still haven't given me a file number or attempted to find this deadbeat at all. I've called about it, my lawyer has called about it, and they still haven't pursued the case. The judge said for the lawyer to contact a specific person at Child Support Enforcement and that she'd even meet with that person and the lawyer to find out why they aren't doing their job, and if they aren't going to, the judge said she would enter an order for support. As far as the divorce decree goes, the lawyer says he could get it finalized next week, but he wants

I'd like to try to grow some pot, just for fun.
I like growing things, and would be happy to give it away or sell it for medicinal purposes.
How much can I grow? Can I grow it in plain sight in the yard? (burbank pd helicopters, yikes!)
Can I give it away or sell it, if it's a small enough amount?
Obviously, I'm not a user, or I wouldn't be asking such naive questions-please help.

I'm the moving party (respondent) in a child custody and visitation case. The petitioner has not filed a response or opposition to my petition not even so much as a fee waiver, she has not participated in the settlement conference. The courts have somehow managed to move this case into trial. I'm trying to figure out what is the judges options if the party doesn't show to this intial trial and the party has not filed anything in response?...... Keep in mind, that I realize and believe that this case should have went into default due to the lack of response but that did not take place....?

White House Manual for Silencing Critics
By Matthew Rothschild
The Progressive

Monday 09 July 2007

So the truth comes out.

After a myriad of stories about people being excluded from events where the President is speaking, now we know that the White House had a policy manual on just how to do so.

Called the "Presidential Advance Manual," this 103-page document from the Office of Presidential Advance lays out the parameters for how to handle protesters at events.

"Always be prepared for demonstrators," says the document, which is dated October 2002 and which the ACLU released as part of a new lawsuit. (For a copy of the lawsuit or the document itself, go to www.aclu.org/freespeech/protest/silenced.html.)

In a section entitled "Preventing Demonstrators," the document says: "All Presidential events must be ticketed or accessed by a name list. This is the best method for preventing demonstrators. People who are obviously going to try to disrupt the event can be denied entrance at least to the VIP area between the stage and the main camera platform.... It is important to have your volunteers at a checkpoint before the Magnetometers in order to stop a demonstrator from getting into the event. Look for signs they may be carrying, and if need be, have volunteers check for folded cloth signs that demonstrators may be bringing."

Hostile nations are getting access to nuclear know-how and nuke-war head manufacturing and delivery system. ( North Korea, Pakistan Iran and so and so ).

Reasons given by nations like CHINA and INDIA is "nuclear deterrence" [ their potential enemy has it so they need to have it as well in the name of deterrence ] meaning if others don't have it they too will not have it.

Its only a matter of time B4 this bombs get to the hands of terrorists - there isn't anything in this world that is without a price tag on its head !!

In the sake of saving future human generations from doomsday nuclear bombs, its technology and know-how must be destroyed. United nations suggested Global Disarmament !!

But the USA never said or voiced anything and remained in silence on these !!

isn't it a fact that USA is the demi-god superpower in conventional military weapons , global Disarmament would certainly pave ways to eradicate nuclear doomsday terror , why US gov don't want !!

In order to generate the same amount of revenue as the current tax plan, you will have to increase the taxation on the poor and middle class by a substantial amount.

So often I hear the criticism that the US is 'going it alone' in Iraq.
Is it truly the case? How many countries are supporting our efforts there WITH their own SOLDIERS?

I answered a question about abortion and can only assume that the thumbs down I received are also more than likely being reported to YA based on similar questions in the past. Why use the reporting feature to silence others?

Did I answer his question?

Am I his target audience?


So what’s the problem?

I fulfilled what YA politics is designed for, right?
