i.e. If you mention the word cotton in America you will get shot. The Americans understadably so, removed all of the cotton farmers because they could see what it was doing to their environment. The cotton farms in Australia are utilising far too much water! We already have in almost every state severe water restrictions and this government has allowed more cotton farms to be established. My concern is that when we run out of water to drink and to grow produce for us to eat, we can't eat cotton. And all the money that I understand is coming into the country through allowing cotton farmers to farm will not be much use to us. If we want a dust bowl for our children to inherit I believe we are doing everything in our power to make it happen. I have seen the benifits of you fiscal policy, I think you have improved australias economy and our social environment especially in the workplace. However I do believe we should re think our position on the cotton industry. In my opinion

"When you have a President who is so unpopular...it really reflects poorly on Congress. None of [the approval ratings] are real high and we acknowlege that, but most of it relates to the unpopularity of the President."

If I understand this correctly he is blaming Bush because the Democrats are unpopular?

No successful Iraqi government has been formed.

The Daily Mail newspaper claims that, the americans say Britian is losing its battle in Basra, when we're clearly not. I know believing the newspapers is wrong, but at every turn America is asking us to put more troops in, give more money..all the time having a go behind our backs.. America has my respect for growing so quickly, but its upsetting that, once great allies, now seem to be becoming mere accqauitances discussed in the newspaper as losing battles.

A couple of years ago, I used one of those title-pawn dealers to get some extra cash when I was in a crunch. Eventually I had to file for bankruptcy, but that fell through. Now it is time to renew my tag and I'm afraid that when I show up to renew it that the title-pawn people will have reported my car as stolen since I never paid them back in full. This all happened in GA, and I am on assignment out of state. GA is still my state of residence, though. I did do a Carfax and another carcheck service, and neither one showed that my car had been reported as stolen, but I know they are not 100% reliable.

on rush's program he blamed ethanol production for a shortage of prime beef in NY steak houses.
he said that higher corn prices made beef to costly.
why is it that ethanol is a bad idea to conservatives

it reduses the need for forieng oil, it gives farmers higher prices due to supply and demand, farm subsidies are less,
more jobs, more taxable income

this is america b****
capitalism
rush if you want beef to cost the same then move to china where supply and demand do not effect prices.

I was in a residential area and I stopped at a stop sign. I then proceeded to turn right. The cop came up behind me and I pulled over. I asked him what I did and he said "I didn't stop good enough". Pretty much I didn't stay stopped long enough according to his standards. In the law, it doesn't say how long I have to COUNT after I stop. Is this legal? Can I fight this in court?

I'm British and I'm been reading up on Hilary Clinton and Barak (sp) Obama.

I like the sound of that Obama. He seems like a proper Socialist. Just like the UK needs. We'll take him off your hands if you don't want him.

He seem to have some good ideas about reforming the healthcare system in the USA.

My job allows me to telecommute full-time which has given me a certain degree of freedom with where I live. I'm interested in moving to France. Is it possible to live there if I already have a job that would allow me to telecommute? And by doing so, is it possible to become a French citizen after a certain amount of time?

During 1986 to 1992 she was on the Wal-Mart board of directors!!! Wal-mart is totally against all unions!!! As soon as wal-mart heres union, they would rather just close the door!!! Also while at wal-mart during 1986 to 1992 they advertised "buy american" when she knew they bought everything through a 3rd person from Asia. Well in 1993 Billy Boy signed a free trade agreement with China. www.frontline.com
The audiance was a union crowd. Why would they even allow her in the door?
Are Union Members and Democrats really that dumb???

He would attack illegal aliens, unpopular, easy target
China, easy target, China does not have a TV channel in the USA, so it is not easy for China to defend itself. (to Dobbs audience).
He attacks government departments, with a general criticism, and not in a way that a defense can be effectively mounted.

He does not attack the greatest government fiasco of the last 20 years, the war in Iraq. If he does, he does it mildly and he promptly brings up one of the generals under CNN contract to give participate in what he is saying.
He looks a frustrated old man, not very smart and not very fair.
