Politics & Government - 4 August 2007

Say a man and wife have 2 children, and no will or one that simply states that both children will inherit their estate50/50. The couple is married until the death of the husband. After a few years of the husband’s death, the wife is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Within a year of those diagnoses the surviving wife/mother signs over the family home with a quit claim deed to child one only. The second child knows all about this but takes no action, thinking that after the mom is dead that sibling one, will even up things and make things fair on their own. After a few more years the wife/mother dies. Sibling 2 waits patiently for some sort of action, but nothing happens, not even a hint. Effectively sibling one has inherited everything and the other nothing. It has been almost a year after the death of the mother and over 7 since she signed the quit claim deed. What action and what rights has sibling two got at this point? What action should he take if he has any hopes of receiving a fair inheritance?

Recently I was asked by a patriotic American what she could actually do to support the troops. More than just a bumpersticker.

I have answered that in my Article "How Can You Support the Troops?" I have also added two letters to the "From the mouths of soldiers series" to demonstrate how this small way effects Soldiers so greatly.

In my "Hardened Warriors" series, I show you just what kind of men our Soldiers and Marines are.

I also have several articles on the enemy, their history and their intentions, as demonstrated by their own words.

NO, I do not get paid for this. It is not my job. My only hope is that if Americans know the truth, they will support us and our mission.

-Then it would make sense that capitalist immoral ideas that sell is good for the government.
Think of that the next time you complain about "immorality" being pushed in the "liberal" media, such as "feminism"(great for corporations), abortion, premarital sex, gay lifestyle, etc.
What could be more capitalist than making an easy buck?
Don't try to control them or tell them what to do, that would be "socialism".

I notoiced if one walks down the street with a stick from the woods (no matter how big or ackward) the police may look but do not bother. But as soon as a person carries a baseball bat that person is stopped by every cop?

Why is it ok to carry a stick but not a baseball bat?

Thanks, just curious

A Few of The 2005 Bush Task Force Recommendations

The recommendations of the Task Force fall into two broad categories
that correspondwith the imperative to build a safer and more prosperous
continent.The Task Force also proposes reforms and institutions within
each of the three governments to promote progress in these areas. The
Task Force has framed its recommendations into shorter-term measures
that should be pursued now, and long-term steps to be implemented
by 2010.
Making North America Safer

Security
The threat of international terrorismoriginates for the most part outside
North America. Our external borders are a critical line of defense against this threat.Any weakness in controlling access to NorthAmerica from abroad reduces the security of the continent as a whole and exacerbates the pressure to intensify controls on intracontinental movement and traffic, which increases the transaction costs associated with trade and travel within North America.
September 11 highlighted the need for new approaches to border management. In December 2001, Canada and the United States signed the Smart Border Declaration and an associated 30-point Action Plan to secure border infrastructure, facilitate the secure movement of people
and goods, and share information. A similar accord, the United States-Mexico Border Partnership Agreement, and its 22-point Action Plan, Building a North American Community
were signed in March 2002. Both agreements included measures to facilitate faster border crossings for pre-approved travelers, develop and promote systems to identify dangerous people and goods, relieve congestion at borders, and revitalize cross-border cooperation mechanisms
and information sharing. The three leaders pledged additional measures at their March 2005 summit meeting.
The defense of North America must also consist of a more intense level of cooperation among security personnel of the three countries, both within North America and beyond the physical boundaries of the continent. The Container Security Initiative, for example, launched by the United States in the wake of 9/11, involves the use of intelligence, analysis, and inspection of containers not at the border but at a growing number of overseas ports from which goods are shipped. The ultimate goal is to provide screening of all containers destined for any port in North America, so that once unloaded from ships, containers may cross land borders within the region without the need for further inspections

Four of my children are working full time, for some time--two of them have jobs that offer health insurance--equaling 1/2 of their monthly paycheck. The other two work for companies that do not offer health insurance at all.

Fortunately, one has a wife who has free health coverage for herself, and very inexpensive coverage for him. The others have nothing--or nothing within reason.

If our country is not going to supply national health coverage--with the price of doctors, labs and hospitals, etc.--then shouldn't all employers offer it?

I voted for Bush and I will tell you why. John K. has a long face and he is a flip floper(*I think that is a profession that involves constructing beach foot wear.) I wish Bush could run a third term because he knows freedom.

I do not and never did support this bogus "war" in Iraq, but to display such disrespect to a man in uniform is absolutely reprehensible, to me.

And, for what it's worth, I felt similarly turned off when Fred Thompson's handlers threw out a lady who was asking about Thompson's connections to NAU.

What do you think? Do you think it's acceptable to demonstrate the strength of a democracy by censoring fellow Americans?

...so DEPENDENT on government for THEIR exsistence, that they are frightened of his promotion of INDIVIDUAL constitutional based freedom & RESPONSIBILITY? Are these people that say Ron Paul is unknown so insecure at leading their own lives, that they hope that their propaganda will defeat representative Paul? Have these people become so weak knee'd that they look at big government/politicians as their parents & gods? How do people become this frightened of taking charge of their own lives & enjoying true constitutional freedoms as our fore fathers pened in ink??? For the life of me I could NEVER imagine myself groveling at Hillary or Giuliani's feet BEGGING for them to help me out with another social program or hand out. But, maybe that's it, like so many Americans, but NOT all, have become "beligerent beggers". It took a while but I think I have hit the nail on the head with the before mentioned. What's YOUR take on this, like fact or truth, it's gotta be one or the other.
