Its hard to believe there is actually a woman running for president. This brings new hope to the world especially to the women and children of the world. Hilary is a really smart person with some incredible credentials.

Some con said we were doing that.

Criminalizing speech means passing LAWS banning certain types of speech or freedom of expression. For example, like what conservatives did during the Red Scare, banning books and political parties, and accusing dissenters of sedition and treason.

Meanwhile, liberal organizations like the ACLU to this day defend the freedom of expression of all Americans including the klan. While I disagree with the right-wing racist views of the klan, I too defend their right to say what they believe in.

I am new at this, so not quite sure how it goes. I guess i will just break out in song and let you know my question...My husband is a local police officer for the town that we live in. He arrested two males hauling a semi truckload of pot about a year ago. The case was dropped due to someone allegedly not fingerprinting the evidence. We went outside on friday and there was a subpoena on our windshield, no envelope, that i suppose had been sent or faxed to the p.d. and the asst. cheif left it on our windsheild. The trial i am guessing is for the "main man" that these men were delivering to, my husband never had any contact with him. So the trial is in federal court. We live in Arkansas, it is in New Mexico, over 1400 miles round trip. Is this legal?? Can they give him 9 days notice (yes NINE DAYS! ? Can they make him show up to that state?? Also, he has to worry about getting out of it the right way, due to his job. I need to know the stipulations...he does not want to go!

With the advent of LBJ's Great Society in 1964, our taxes went through the roof with federal programs to help the poor and underprivileged; 12 trillion dollars have been spent. They have had 43 friggin years to fix the problems. They've abviously failed because we still have the same problems today, and some are worse. Why on earth would anyone support the Democrat agenda of continuing this obviously flawed approach? How could more tax money solve this problem?

Isn't it wiser to let people decide how best to spend their own money?

TIny accident involving one younger driver, one older. Older takes insurance from younger saying she may call if she ahs any problems....Older later calls my insurance company and says, :what do I do with the bill: (she is talking of going to see about a sore neck) My insurance company (basically laughs) and says nothing because there is no claim. Then asks her about the damage. They ask the woman if I hit her hard, "no" they ask her what the damage to the cars was, "none"
My insurance company thinks the situation is odd.

What I don't understand is that a close family member was in a real wreck on the highway recently, received extensive damage to the back of her car and had no medical problems. But the car was messed up and the person who hit her was going fast.
Do you think she's just trying to make a quick buck and take advantage of a young driver?

I'm sorry, but I'm completely lost.
I'm Japanese and married to a American guy, and he told me they decided to attack Iraq because they are/were idiots.
Yeah, right.
But I want to know the real reason.
Didn't Bush want people to think that he is a loser??
Weren't that Osama and Al-Qaeda the only enemy after 9/11 though?

Also can anyone tell me where I can find names and pictures of those who lost their lives in war in Iraq?
(I thought I saw them in the Newsweek website, but I can't find it now)

Thank you...

We're building the George H. W. Bush aircraft carrier. Last time I checked we had ten of these things. Each of them carries 85 combat jets, helicopters, AWACs style planes and so on. The carrier costs 4.5 billion dollars and 160 million a year to operate. Every aircraft on it costs 35 million dollars and up. So let's not even bother with the math. It's obvious that one less carrier battle group would pay for a LOT of infrastructure.

Mr. Rogers hates his neighbor. The neighbor has a garage band and they practice late at night. Mr. Rogers has complained to the neighbor that he can't sleep but the neighbor keeps playing at all hours of the night. Mr. Rogers works the morning shift at a grocery store where he has worked his entire life and hates going to work tired. One day Mr. Rogers decides to break into the garage where the band stores their instruments. He plans to steal the instruments and throw them in the dump. While Mr. Rogers is in the garage he finds a marijuana growing operation in a room off of the garage. Mr. Rogers leaves the garage and goes to the Police. He tells the Police that he broke into the garage and was looking for the instruments when he found the marijuana plants. The Police use this statement from Mr. Rogers in a search warrant for the neighbor's house. Can this statement be used as probable cause in a search warrant? Why?

I was watching the republican debate when this topic came up. If we take into consideration the utilities and energy used, paper wasted, personnel hired to work for the IRS (clerks, telephone helpers, IRS agents, etc.), building maintenance, benefits, plus whatever costs I may havemissed, how much would the federal government really save if we totally got rid of the IRS per the fair tax bill?

My husband and I filed bankruptcy for our credit cards. We kept our home and cars. Our neighborhood has become very dangerous and we put the house up for sale but stopped paying the mortgage because we will be moving sep 1. The mortgage is now 2 months behind, our bankruptcy case was confirmed March 2007. I just got a letter in the mail to return to court aug 30 because washington mutual (our second mortgage) has filed a relief from the automatic stay. What does this mean? I also noticed the bank that I have my car loan through is on the bottom it says subject to lien. Does anyone know what this could all mean? I will contact my attoorney tomorrow but in the mean time I wanted to get some info. Thanks in advance.

Could it be because they have created massive deficits, weakened American prestige abroad, alienated allies, have failed to reduce terrorism (instead it has drastically increased), increased big brother surveillence over the American citizen, and engaged in a culture of corruption, perhaps?
