How many of us understand we are now the world's pariah...? not Iran, not Iraq, not Afghanistan, not China, not Russia but US....

All because of a few treasonous, treacherous, fascists who prefer money over country.

The president knows the only way to get more quality health care to more people is for the government to step in and either provide the health care or establish strict standards that force the private sector to do so.

That's why the Medicare and Medicaid programs were developed. That's why the Department of Veterans Affairs runs hospitals.

So why does the president say things like he did Wednesday at a Roundtable on Health Care Initiatives in Landover, Md.?

Bush declared, "I really do believe that government involvement in health care will lead to less quality care and rationing over time." Preaching the gospel of the insurance giants and the HMOs, Bush told the Maryland gathering, "I want patients making decisions, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C."

The fact is that Bush knows an expansion of government programs would cause millions of Americans to drop their private coverage because it is the private sector that lowers quality, rations care and takes away the ability of patient

I'm not taking sides in this question- I want an open debate with lots of intelligent contributions. When you explain why you think he is or isn't, please be detailed and, if you can/if it's applicable, cite resources/documents/etc. Also, please leave out uncessary and irrelevant comments, such as "Bush is a fag" and "Hillary is a feminazi!!" -even if you believe with all your heart that they're true. Thank you, I appreciate your well articulated and intelligent contributions.

With Nancy Pelosi quaking in her boots at the prospect of running against Cindy Sheehan, I think it's appropriate to ask: If you had to choose between the two, who would you vote for?

Bush needs to pay more attention to international issues outside of the Middle East.

The world and its economy are changing rapidly and while the Middle East is important so are Asia and South America.

Simply maintaining regular contact, attending summits and other meetings, with our Asian and Latin American trading partners is critical given the growth of those economies and of their middle classes, which are consumers of American goods and investors in American companies and Treasurys.

It would appear that while the focus has been on Iraq, the rest of the world has largely been put on the back burner, with the exception of a few trade and currency talks with China.

He may be a lame duck President but it is never too late to re-engage, and that's what Bush needs to do.

I was recently at school, and there were recruiters from the Marines, Army, Air Force, and Navy.
I am pretty sure that College isn't the thing for me, and I have a low GPA to boot :P.
I was intrigued by the idea of joining some branch of military, specifically the Navy, and I was wondering:
Which branch is the most dangerous? Meaning which has the highest mortality rate?

Hello,

Recently I went on a canoeing trip in Missouri on the Current River. It is a well traveled tourist spot, mostly college students partying along the river while canoeing. Recently I was ticketed for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. I was told I have a court date in the court of the very small Missouri town many miles away from my home in Illinois. I have a few questions about the situation someone may be able to answer or direct me to a resource for the answers.

Will Missouri state mail me anything or inform any government offices in Illinois of the incident?

Would I be able to be arrested in Illinois if I missed the court date in Missouri? (i.e. I just dont show up and they dont bother finding me)

Do the river conservation officers have the same authority as a real police officer? (College security, for instance can give drinking tickets, but they hold little or no meaning if unpaid)

I bought a building in the downtown area I live in the upper section. The downstairs was rented to a business when I bought the building but the business has since been sold and the new owner wanted to stay. We do not have a lease and are just going on a month to month basis. (Couldn't get her to sign a lease.) She consistently pays the rent late and I am forced to call her at least once a month to ask for the rent. One month she told me she wasn't going to pay because she didn't have it. I told her I was making arrangements to evict her she changed her tune and said she would get caught up. She did but every month since then she pays so late that it is almost time for the next payment. I need this money to make the mortgage every month and so frustrated because twice I have had to take money out of my savings just to pay the mortgage on time. I am getting worried because she is late again this month. What are my rights here? Can I evict her? How much notice do I have to give her?
