The political parties are not at all worried as to what the people of the country will think when all the three forces namely INC, BJP and third front ,one after another , are vying with each other in the race of appeasement of a particular community bringing the election of Vice-President also to poor taste having already lowered the dignity of office of President as well before President's election. This is nothing but taking the intelligence of people of the country granted by the politicians.

Ok, of course that question was just a joke, but after reading this article it's just kind of eerie how dead on accurate this turned out to be. This was written nine months before September 11th and two years before the war in Iraq.

It's pathetic how childish America has become. Most Americans like to point fingers at Bush whenever he does something wrong because they are too lazy or too stupid to open their eyes, when most of the time, it is not even his fault what happens. Bush is a good guy who is surrounded by a bunch of morons like Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney. His father is a nice guy and his mother is a nice woman. It was not Bush who was pushing for the Iraq War, orginally. It was the loser who goes by the name of Paul Wolfowitz, who was trying to persuade the government to invade Iraq since the 90s because he thought Iraq was a threat to Israel and he got his chance as Deputy Secretary of Defense to help get the Iraq War started. I would like to see how people who criticize Bush all the time like idiots could run the country and make the difficult decisions Bush has to make all the time and be surrounded by the jokes Bush has to take advice from all the time. Bush is an average President.

Is the supreme court ruling reguarding pornography invalid since the House of representatives, Senate, and President never ratified it, and it functions as a Constutional Ammendment, and should all responsible governmental agencies be held responsible for the misery committed to millions and millions of people. This is a serious question.

Personally I belive what the founders had in mind was not freedom of religion, that you could have any kind you wanted, but rather freedom FROM religion.
Thats what I want. I want to be free of all religions. I deeply resent CNN having their "faith and politics" segments where they discuss religion and politics in the same breath. Why do they do that? Thats just bringing the two closer together, and legitimizing religion in politics.
I say keep religion totally out. A persons faith means nothing to me. Nothing at all.
I wouldn't want to hear a preacher talking about politics. I would say that was not his calling. Preahers shoud minister to the souls of the weak and needy and leave the electorate alone. Politicians can know nothing of God. Politics and Religion are mutually exclusive. If religion and politics do come together it is under sharia law. We don't want that either. God never took a vote on anything.
Please, leave God out of it.

are leftists better at defending a nation and ideology? the US was led into war by several leftist presidents in an attempt to defend a nation or ideology. ironically, they sometimes fought against other leftists.
woodrow wilson - WW1 (backed by roosevelt [r])
fdr - WW2
harry truman - korea conflict, also used nuclear weapons in WW2. meanwhile, stalin was busy killing 13 million of his people, which are to be included in the 60 million deaths that communism caused worldwide.
lyndon johnon - vietnam war
bill clinton - bosnia conflict to help defend the descendants of the long-gone ottoman empire that attacked europe twice throughout history (muslims)

reagan got the US out of the cold war without a shot fired. too peaceful, eh? it might have been over sooner with a war-mongering democrat in office.
george bush sr. - first iraq war, after iraq invaded kuwait.

The Bush administration hasbeen wrong about every prediction they've made about Iraq--from the mythical WMD and ties to al-Qaida to being "greeted with flowers" to "Mission Accomplished." Time and again this or that region was "secure," al-Qaida was being destroyed, a drawdown in troops would start in "just a few more months," etc., etc.

All WRONG. So why should anyone take Bush's fear-mongering predictions of catastrophe seriously?

I don't want "free" newspapers tossed on my property that I haven't subscribed to. I consider it littering. I'm gone for extended periods of time and don't appreciate this "Attention, burglars! Nobody is here now! Notice the accumulated papers?" I've made a good faith effort to contact the throwers, requesting that they stop, but they don't. Can I hire a neighborhood kid to pick them up, then take the offenders to small claims court to recover my costs for hiring the kid?

Anybody out there had a similar experience?

Will some lawyer honest enough help me ? I am a senior citizen and a victim of nexus of corrupt police officers, accused persons and judges in lower court where my matter is pending. My office premises was broken in by the accused persons and police due to corrupt intent did not register FIR for almost 23 months and twisted some facts in it to help the accused persons. I kept quite thinking that an honest judge will hear the fact and see the documentary evidences that I have. Even after delayed registration of FIR police did not file charge sheet for another 8 months to help the accused persons and did not give me the keys to the office of which I am legal owner. Now the matter is in hearing stage and I made an application to the judge to accept and take it on record with the documents that clearly proves the hand in glove arrangement that the accused person had with the police officers involved. But to my utter shock the judge is inclined to refuse my application. Pl. help me.
