When Bush inacts martial law next month after a fake terrorist attack, are you prepared to detain and kill Americans, Preform illegal searches, seize weapons(guns). All of which is completely against the Constitution of the United States Of America which you swore to defend!

(that is right, you swore to defend the constitution of the U.S. Not the country, army, police or the president)????

What is the punishment for possessing marijuana? Are there any circumstances when it is legal to have it?

When asked the question "how many of you took private or charter jets to the debate tonight" (paraphrasing)...I believe all but one candidate slowly and sheepishly raised their hands.

Mr. Mike Gravel alone spoke up and said that he took...

A TRAIN.

Sure, he was frightfully angry for the whole debate, and hardly asked any questions, but you have to give the man some credit for acknowleging the incredible sexy that is the train.

So I guess the question is, does being a high powered political leader with a busy schedual make private jets ok, or should they take a little extra time and lead by example? What do you think is an appropriate tradeoff between time efficiency and environmental stewardship, especially coming from people who claim to want to lead us in the right direction?

Iran-Mexico-Joint Commission

Iran and Mexico reached an agreement to set up a joint economic commission next year.

In a meeting between Iran's new Ambassador to Mexico Mohammad Hassan Qadiri-Abyaneh with Mexican Deputy Foreign Minister Lurdes de Aranda the agreement was achieved.

Qadiri also invited Mexico to attend the Non-Aligned Movement foreign ministers meeting in Tehran on human rights and cultural diversities.

Iran's plenipotentiary and extraordinary ambassador to Mexico expounded on Tehran stances on regional issues, especially Iraq and the results of Iran-USA negotiations about Iraq security and said Islamic Republic of Iran policy is to support national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Iraq.

Mexico deputy FM, for her part, said her country's policy is to support peace, security and independence of the countries and has always defended negotiation and dialogue as a way to solve disputes between the countries.

The Mexican senior diplomat also expressed her country's readiness to expand ties with Iran especially in cultural and economic fields.http://www2.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-22/0707225493010242.htm

Just a reminder to those U.S. Citizens unfamiliar with American history and relations with Mexico....Mexico has never, never been our friend. They tolerate us because they need us but their history of envy, hate and malfeasance has continued prior to the Texas Republic. It will continue as long as the arrogant elites of that country keep true democracy at bay and keep it’s people in abject poverty. Too bad we can’t (or won’t) effectively support a true overthrow of that country’s corrupt oligarchy. Not only do they send us their illegals but make a fortune sending drugs into the U.S. to poison our people, create immense levels of related crimes and fill our prisons with the offenders. Thank you Mexico, you’re a wonderful neighbor.

I here people bitching all the time about taxes but are they really all that bad? Taxes fund social programs that further our society and help fund important features in our communities. I personally love taxes and I'm middle class. I love knowing that my money is going to help those in my community, does anyone else feel the way I do?

New Have, CT is issuing ID cards to illegals so they can reap the benfits the city has to offer, open bank accounts and be "protected from criminals". See this story:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20070717/ts_csm/anewhaven

So now we are protecting CRIMINALS from CRIMINALS?

If they were smart, as they illegals started coming forward to get their cards, they would toss then in a truck back to wherever they came from.

Why are we allowing US cities to cater to those who break the laws?

i was at a red light and trying to find my moms number in my phone so that i could call her and tell her id be late coming home. i had to run over to work really quickly to pick up my tips for the night and by the time i left it was 12:40 a.m. i had to go to a store and buy a phone card for my phone because i was almost out of minutes and im leaving for vacation tomorrow. im 17 and there is a curfew law but the officer didnt give me a ticket, he gave me what i think he said was a citation. i have to appear in court so that a judge can "determine the cost of the fine". let me add that right after i noticed that i had squelled my tires i stop them and i saw the cop in the parking lot watching me, and i saw him pull out and get behind me, so i pulled into a parking lot before he even turned his lights on. he was nice about it & everything. i just dont no what the average punishment is for this. i have never been pulled over before or gotten into an accident either. thanks for your help.

I am talking about in the remote areas of the Southern border. In these areas the Border Guards make contact with and chase drug runners frequently and if they are lucky they catch them.

As it is they can not shoot out tires and many drug dealers just turn around and drive back to Mexico with the Border Guards driving behind them with their lights and sirens on...the others just keep driving until they get to urban areas and then the border guards can't even pursue them.

it is strange though...those guys carrying hundreds and thousands of pounds of drugs do not stop for lights and sirens...I wonder why...

So Why can't the Border Guards use the PIT manuever or shoot out tires?

Spike strips to deflate the tires are also not effective in the wide open remote areas. The smugglers swerve around them with ease and also it is dangerous if the Border Guard is nearby because the smuggler could also swerve at him.

God wants to save me

The governmet wants my money and my unquestioned support Stragely god wants those things to

Both the government and god - want money obiedience acceptance of thier morality and more money -

Both god and the government have an enemy - they both need to fight them

In the US god is fighting the devil and the government is fighting the terrorists

Why is it that god and the government want the same things all the time from me


Maybe they are the same institution filled with the same types of men who want to control everyone and everthing and the only difference is


Marketing -

God do what I say or go to hell now

Government do what I say - or go to jail right now


Death gets you out of the governmets hands

Death puts you right into gods hands

No wonder these two agencies work together -

Do what I say or jail now and hell later - Hmmm thats really convientient isn't it ?

I used to work for a online deal site (something like pricegrabber.com) and they made me sign a non compete agreement 3 weeks after I had already started working on my own deal site. I had to sign it at that time else he would make me quit so I kept hush about it. I since then got a new job last week. Being the paranoid jerk that he is, he hacked into my work computer and using a password recovery form was able to log into all my emails and private sites. That let him know that I had my own deal site. My old boss is threatening to sue me because I was developing something that would compete with him. What are my chances in court and will it be expensive? I am in Texas. Thanks and God bless

Is there a way to make sure he doesn't get away with it. PD detectives say the believe he did it but dont have enough evidence to take him down. Can I try going to the military and see if they'll look into it. This guy kill his wife any it doesnt seem like anyone cares. She's found dead in her pool two weeks before divorce was final and 2 days before her going to a different city for job interview.... so he gets kids and all her money. autopsy shows possible foul play. but no clear method of death found. He is being treated for bipolar disorder and was sent home from Iraq because he is suicidal. Bought a gun 6 month ago and went to her house with plans to kill himself infront of her if she didnt take him back. it's a really long story, so this is the short version. he picked the kids up from grandmas and stopped by her house, but didnt let them out. then came back in the car and took them for ice cream. when they got back she was in the pool with her running clothes on.
