Imagine if the funding that went to the Iraq war had been spent on our public school system instead. I want to vote for candidates who make education a top priority. Who are they?

Thousands of IRAQI's stood in lines at the polling stations braving mortar and small arms fire to participate in the first free elections in IRAQ. If democracy is being forced on them why would they risk their lives to do something as simple as vote in a free elelction?

Bill Richardson said the GOP suppresses the minority vote during last nights "debate" or whatever that was.
Do you think this is true?
Did Tom DeLay do it by redistricting voting districts to break up the black vote? What about Florida in 2000?

Many religions do not accept the divinity of Jesus but they do not take a hateful stance against Jesus and Christianity. Judaism/Israel, on the other hand, are the only religion/state openly hateful and hostile to Jesus and Christian religion.

I am currently in college. But I have always wanted to join the Navy. My husband is in the Navy, my family is nowhere near me, and I am so bored with school. I understand my mother's concern for my safety but I have no motivation for school anymore. I also have a brother who's been to iraq twice and is scheduled to leave again soon. So I don't want to add extra stress to her life worrying about me too. What should I do? I don't feel like I am getting anywhere in school. Please help.

Seems like every time this administration feels its position is threatened, they crank up prodution in the old fear factory. The question is: Are you buying it?

Probably Saddam Hussein was more effective in making Iraq out of bounds to Al qaeda etc. His liquidation has brought endless strife, civil war and free entry to outside insurgents.

Falcon; new drills for a new world order

The Falcon operations can only be understood in the broader context of the ongoing assault on the constitutional system of checks and balances; including the repeal of habeas corpus, warrantless wiretaps and searches, and the use of torture.

For the last 6 years, the Bush administration has been busy dismantling the legal safeguards which protect the citizen from the arbitrary and, oftentimes, ruthless actions of the state. To that end, detention camps are being prepared by Halliburton within the U.S., secret courts have been established which deny due process of law, American citizens are arrested without charge, law enforcement is increasingly militarized, and the media has strengthened its alliance with the central government.

They lose their job right? I'm pondering the Michael Vick case - I find it more troublesome because he is under contract, and his absense will drastically affect his place of work in theory. I hear talk that they would still have to pay him his $6 million contract. This doesn't make sense. From a law standpoint, if he is convicted and sent to prison, should the team have to pay his salary?? Or do his poor choices negate the contract? Why should the team pay him when he's not playing? Doesn't prison cost you your rights?

You know like in the OJ trial when the Cops ended up losing the case because they planted evidence

Or when Bush 41 planted WMD's for Bush 43 to use as the excuse to attack Iraq.

I have gotten a little weary of being told that there is no such thing as war profiteering. What do you think about this story? Is it good that a clean-up is being performed? Do you think there should be more, extending to a full investigation of suppliers and contractors?

Or is that, in itself, unpatriotic?

What are your thoughts?

Okay first I am 24 and I have a 4yr old daughter. About a month before I found out I was pregnant with her I decided I was going to join the military. Obviously those plans changed once I knew I was pregnant. I still want to join the army and a lot of my family is in there, but I don't want to be sent away from my daughter because I am basically all she has. Now my question, is there any chance to be apart of the military in any way that does not send me away from her?
