My accountant, considering business proposals at Board Meetings, used to declare "Let's not confuse the issue with the facts - what do you want to do Boss?" So we did. And won far more than we lost. Climate Change would threaten less with a similar strategy, exercised earlier, I think?

I am straight outta college and finalizing my application to enter Army OCS. I have a board on Tuesday where I will be interviewed by three or four officers. What should I expect? I have a general idea, but I was just wondering if anybody else went through it.

What if the propaganda takes on the look of a real news story? A popular book or song? A court case? A contrived election intended to sway public opinion locally or abroad? Or better still, a completely bogus, albeit real-looking, government-created internet website created for the sole purpose of changing public opinions, all under the guise of being something from, say, pop culture?

Is misleading the public with propaganda on any level at all ethical, even when it is for the overall "good of the public?" Do good lies really exist? And is social engineering fair in a free society?

I'm just wondering what your strongest memories are of that day? I remember taking my kids to school, crying and knowing they didn't understand what a significant event it was. Also all of the people on the streets of New York with pictures of their loved ones asking people to call with info. So very sad!!!!

Our landlord [Mr. G] has been showing our apartment for almost 4 weeks now and its driving us nuts.
About 3 weeks ago he told my husband to rearrange some stuff in our place. When my husband pointed out some flaws and that this place wasn't that great, the Mr G said he wanted to hang a picture [over an existing crack in the wall].
When he came (not to show it) my husband wouldn't let him in and then the jerk [Mr G]kicked him in the gonads. My husband called the police and the cop told Mr G that he had no business telling us how to live in the space that we had paid for.
He calls 4 and 5 times a week [24 hours in advance, like he is supposed to, according to California law] But he says he is having an 'open house' from 8 am to 6 pm, at least twice a week. Then he traipses thru here abo
A few days ago, he threatened us with a 3 day notice of eviction because we left dirty dishes on the counter [no dishwasher] saying we violated a section in the lease [which is incorrect].

Don't we have enough tax ? Isn't the government big enough yet ?

Wouldn't more government control lead to more corruption and waste ?

Until this point, i living in america still have no idea the cause of the war. In my opinion, I think the gov was trying to use MDW as an excuse for invading Iraq. And that freeing the oppressed Iraqi is just bullsxxt. I think the war is to get oil. "peak oil" is coming and by attacking Iraq, US can effectively prevent other foreign countries from intervening in our oil interest in Iraq.

I'm not sure. My thing is, yes some people sould die for what they did, (they have all though out history) but do we as humans have the right to take away life? I don't think so.

What is the training like? How far do you have to run? What do you have to do? How many situps, pullups, pushups? What is it like in the first week? What can I expect?

FYI, I'm moderatley athletic, I run several miles every day and do some push ups and situps, and I can run 3 miles in 19:30-22min.

And how do I fit the 13 wk basic training in with college? That is what I'm really wondering.
