its obvious its an emotional issue for you, so much that you call people racist for not wanting illegals here,( not very grounded mind you)so since you really care so much why dont you supporters pay out of your own pockets the amount of welfare and medical monies that the rest of us are forced to pay, i like the rest of the country dont want my tax money used for illegals but you could easily cover the burden by your own income,, heck get 2 jobs to pay for it if you want, you want them here so bad then you pay the cost, oh and by the way not wanting illegals here does not make you a racist it just means you lack a well grounded argument when you resort to name calling

Both parties have proven that they are more interested in what's best for their party than what's best for us citizens. Why should we be loyal to either one of them?

They were notified of his death and signed a release for his sister to arrange burial. Is there any other things they have to take care of? He had not been in their life for over 26 years.

My husband was involved in a hit and run Monday. The Guy was caught.

He was rear ended and flipped twice to the side of the road. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital and he has a torn rotator cuff.

With the information we can gather the car that did this was from a repo lot.

Our insurance is picking up the tab because we have uninsured/underinsured but shouldn’t the insurance on the car or the suspects own insurance if he has any take responsibility?

What about lost wages?

Are we (for lack of a better word) screwed?

Here is a pic of his truck after

Ok here's the scenario.
You live 50 miles south of the US.
You have a wife and two kids.
You just lost your poor-paying job and neither you nor your wife can get hired b/c they're no jobs to be found.
Your family risks starvation .

you can either A
try to come here legally as your family suffers from malnutriton
[the process takes years]

or B
take a risk and cross miles of desert in the hopes of getting a manual labor job that pays $3 an hour[which is about 300 pesos an hour] and feed your family

On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

"The thought of somebody vandalizing it never crossed my mind," said Gareth Groves, 32, who lives with his mother in a three-story home in the 3400 block of Brandywine Street NW in American University Park. "I've kind of been in shock."

I have this "friend" who drives high (on weed) a lot and I was wondering if it effects his driving ability. Also, if anyone knew the laws regarding driving while high (in Mass) that would be appreciated too, Thanks.

Never get a group of contractors made at you .

I knew a dozen builders who refused to do work for Lawyers and would only sell them spec houses .
They would never build a custom home because the lawyers never paid .

After ten years the lawyers got wise and filed a class action suite claiming discrimination against a group of builders who where building out an upscale golf course community who refused to contract custom homes for lawyers .

The inflation-adjusted 2004-2007 revenue surge of 25 percent represents the largest three-year tax revenue surge since 1966-1969. So the Bush tax cuts are doing more to raise tax revenue than any other action in modern American history.

Economics 101:
Tax cuts encourage and allow increased economic activity.

Tax increases discourage and decrease economic activity.

So which of you Libs want to raise taxes now? And why?

My 12th grade Government teacher said that if a police officer reaches into your mouth by force to retrieve something illegal, then you cannot be charged with anything because its illegal for the police to do and the officer would be in trouble. Even if its drugs. Is this true?

Muslim women who wear the hijab are at risk of serious illness because they do not get enough sun, doctors have warned.

They said an alarming number of women who cover their skin are suffering bone deficiencies over a lack of vitamin D.

Most of the body's vitamin D - which prevents rickets - is obtained through sunlight acting on the skin. Only a little comes from food.

Doctors told a London conference today that people with dark pigment are at risk because of "cultural reasons" and because they are less efficient at producing the vitamin.

What he did was he combined water and electricity. It turns into a gas called HHO, which can power a car for 100 miles a gallon on...water. Yes, essentially free power. All it costs is 1500$ to equip your car, and you'd never have to go to a gas station again.

He was from Grove City, Ohio, just a couple of miles away from me. I knew the guy, and trust me, his water car was not bullshit. It worked, and it was absolutely amazing. Revolutionary, something that would solve so many problems and make life so much easier.

He was repeatedly threatened by Oil Companies, bribed 1 billion to shelf his idea, constantly pressured by the government who was breathing down his neck. Well, one night at a restaraunt to celebrate his invention and it's sale in a couple of weeks so that it would go into mass production. He took a drink from his glass, ran out into the parking lot and died. He was poisoned to death by our government. This can be seen easily, because just a few days later they>>

WASHINGTON -- When saboteurs blew up several natural-gas pipelines in central Mexico this month, temporarily shutting down production for U.S. automakers and other important manufacturers, a small and shadowy Marxist guerrilla group called the Popular Revolutionary Army reportedly claimed responsibility.

Four explosions in the Bajio, a central region that's both the stronghold of the ruling conservative National Action Party and a big manufacturing zone, disrupted the flow of natural gas between Mexico City and Guadalajara, the country's two biggest cities, and paralyzed pipelines in Veracruz and Guanajuato states.

General Motors and Nissan are said to have lost millions of dollars in production at their plants in the region.
