Politics & Government - 29 July 2007

It is alleged that the US government forced the LDS church to finally give ALL men in the LDS church the priesthood, when before 1978, blacks of African descent were not permitted to have the priesthood.

It is my understanding that, in order for it to be in violation of civil rights laws, it would have to be a paid position, a job. Our Priesthood is NOT a paid position, so no civil rights laws were violated, right?

This incident happened at Montebello High school in California.
I contacted my state Senators and Congressmen and one sent a letter back saying that nothing could be done because these people were protected by their first Amendment rights.

What happened to not flying another flag above the United States flag? Why is it not illlegal to fly the American flag upside down?
Am I the only on upset about this? Am I making to much of this? What do you think?
Thank you and have a nice day!

what cannot be answered. Instead of having many religions each trying in a different way to answer questions to which we will never know the answers (at least not in this life), why don't we just admit that we don't know. That, incidentally, is the one area where an intelligent atheist and an intelligent Christian could find common ground. Admit you don't know.
(And now will come the answers from people who will insist that they do know. Some people can't even be honest with themselves!)

do more to regulate CPS? They bully parents that are doing nothing wrong, but they turn a blind eye to abuse until a child dies or is near death! There is a case where a 12 year-old boy was living with his Grandfather after his mom was killed in a car wreck and him and his wife had been reported to CPS dozens of times by family members AND his teachers. His wife refused to let the child use the bathroom and he had to pee on the floor and she then made him lay on the floor and mop it up with the clothes he had on and stomped on his head, causing him tocut his chin, requiring stitches! What is wrong with these social service workers? If they can't do their job get someone who can!

I was just watching the evening news on ABC and there was a segment on gang members in the military!
What? a gang was formed with military members or these soldiers had an affiliation to gangs before joining the military?
wasn't there a security/background check performed before they were allowed to join the military?

Ever since President Bush approved the No children left behind act do you feel that it helped our American children? For my point of view I have a niece that needs help and my sister in-law had a hassle and it took months in order for my niece to get the special needs. What is your point of view about the act?

was not allowing women to vote constitutional?

was segregation constitutional?

read your 9th amendment.

almost every remedy is a 9th amendment remedy. no one is expressing it thats all. all 9 categories that cannot be discriminated against in employment are abrogations of the promise of the 9th amendment. every time the united states does not follow the constitution its and abrogation of the 9th amendment. any country beginning in slavery is not following its own constitution.

Do readers think that this is right and moral. ?. My personal view is that they are encouraging non criminals to commit a crime. A sting is ok if you catch known ciminals but this makes no sence at all and a complete waste of public money.
