I think you used to be able to find out who lived in your neighborhood/street with a cross reference book. It also told what the residents occupation was. Is there still such a book and if so can it be accessed online ?

Washington DC is located in the District of Columbia and is considered the location of the governmet which governs the United States of America. The Name "The United States of America" catagorizes it's membership into States. Washington DC proudly boasts it's separation from statehood, placing Washington DC and the District of Columbia, outside of the Union.

Are the following hints to a collage:

The residents of the district are portrayed by the government as being poor.. with a large homelss shelter resting within the monument and tourist areas..

Our Thanksgiving is a celebration of Pigram (English) and Indian unity...A notorious enemy allience which fought against the Union formation.

New England

District Of Columbia--Christopher Columbus, Italian expolorer often accredited with discovering the United States via Spanish funds.

Could the The British CommonWealth, or a joint allied forces, be remotley controlling the United States and her Government

Consider, whilst the US through Bush causes chaos in erecting a barrier of Military steel surrounding China (check your maps).. Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan..... China has been cleverly stocking up the US dollar, signing oil resources with Sudan, Iran, etc......

Simple, you beat Capitalism WITH Capitalism.

Fellow Americans, How good is your Mandarin?

After all, I don't live in the US, but I spew anti-US hatred...because I am a clear thinker!

So why give Mr Penn a hard time?

Sean Penn spews The Truth ALWAYS... At least as clear thinkers like me choose to see it.

There is ample evidence in todays world to make any clear thinker highly pessimistic, like me.

LONG LIVE PESSIMISM.... the only true "religion," since, after all, my religion is better than yours, and clear thinkers like me must dominate.

I say long live Hugo Chavez! That is the way clear thinking pessimists are driven by Amy Goodman!!!

Because everyone knows that national health insurance isn't socialized medicine. Yet all of the GOP presidential hopefuls are repeating that "scare term" over and over. The conclusion is that they are pinning their hopes on the Party-proven notion that the American public is an easily frightened constituency, and they intend to repeat scary words and phrases over and over, to beat people into becoming faceless, mindless ballots.

It is painfully clear that each candidate is bought and paid for, and simply reading the cue cards for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. I believe, however, that Americans have grown wise to such typical GOP scare tactics, that they will refuse to be pushed around once again by false fears and rather, they will seek out and investigate the TRUTH about what's going on with health care in America.

OK, now that I have your attention, here's my point. When we say "the government should pay for [whatever]," some don't seem to realize that it's WE who pay for that, not some faceless entity.

Here's my modest proposal: let's match up the donors and the recipients! If part of my taxes go to welfare, Medicaid, etc., give me the names and addresses of the people I'm helping. And give them mine.

And expand it to other areas: for defense, tell me what my money bought, and for whom. If I helped supply soldiers, tell me who. If it bought equipment, tell me what, and from what company. Foreign aid: tell me what country. "Corporate welfare" (although I have yet to see anyone here demonstrate that cash payments, as opposed to tax deductions, are given to corporations): what company? And so on.

Yes, it's crazy. And any breakdown would be time-consuming and arbitrary.

My point is that if we did something like this, maybe the money would be more wisely spent.

Thoughts?

Without the employers that continue to hire them, the illegal immigrants wouldn't be able to make a living by coming up here, so why is all the blame being placed on the immigrants?

The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of pumping oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa. The request came in a telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a top Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem.
Will this make the US even more popular in the Muslim world and once and for all debunk the rumour America is in it with Israel?Is this another great diplomatic move by the Bush white house?

Is it the Patriot Act, Wire Taps, Camps in Cubs, Fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here? What ever it is, it is working!

The Terrorists have hit Spain, London, Glascow, Bali and others but cannot strike the USA on her own soil since 9/11.

Thanks for keeping us safe President Bush.

Also, thanks for bringing Honor & Dignity back to the White House and for this SMOKING hot economy with a very very low 4.5% unemployment rate!

"Two US Marines are listening to the radio in Iraq.

"American soldiers," coos a soft female voice, "Your so-called nationalLeaders have lied to you. You are needlessly risking your lives to wage Auseless, unjust, illegal, and unwinnable war. Now is the time to return home to your loved ones, while you are still alive. If you foolishly insist on remaining where you are not wanted, the brave resistance fighters will have no choice but to kill you and add your name to the long ever-increasing casualty list of this insane war. So why risk never seeing your loved ones again for a so-called president who has repeatedly lied and deceived you at every opportunity? Why should you be sacrificed so that US corporations can enjoy fatter profits? The only wise thing to do is return home now, while you are still drawing breath, before you return zippered into a body bag."

"What's this?" sneers one Marine. "An Islamo-terrorist version of Tokyo Rose?"

"No," answers the other. "It's just CNN!"
