Has anybody (as of today 10th August 2007) got a pending speeding ticket, or have you just had a speeding ticket? I've just got one and I need to know if it's valid or not. At the bottom of my 'intended prosecution' notice is a box marked 'FOR POLICE USE ONLY' with spaces for a Police Officer (or someone else) to declare that they have sent this notice to me by normal mail, and it goes on to say that the sheet I've received is a true copy. The thing is, this section has not been filled in by anyone and therefore is not signed and dated. The date is included higher up the form, but not on this declaration. Has anyone got a current similar form, has this section been filled in on yours, and do you think this omission makes my form invalid? Any other advice as to how to get this ticket quashed? It's yet another money making venture from a Government that has already stolen nearly every penny I've earned. No wonder people don't help the police much!
Thanks in advance.

A Christian student's group at Hastings College of Law, sought official recognition and direct financial support from the college for the group. Unfortunately, the Christian group discriminated against gays, by not allowing gays to join their group. The university would not officially recognize this Christian group, nor provide direct financial support, since the Christian group's discrimination was against the university's nondiscrimination policy. Of course, the Christians lost their lawsuit, since it is hardly a violation of religious liberty, to prevent the Christian group from being exempt from the university's policy of non-discrimination.

My question is, how can Christians claim their religious freedom is being violated if they are not allowed to discriminate? If every other group at the university can't discriminate, why should the Christians be allowed to discriminate? It's a matter of Christians asking for the special right to discriminate, when no other group could.

Just last week Bush was at the site of the fallen bridge for his photo promising to help repair the fallen bridge.

Just yesterday when asked about a proposed bill to help repair about 70,000 bridges that have been declared "desperately in need of repair", Bush said he would veto it, and said that congress must prioritize what it wants to spend money on...clearly implying bridge repair is not that important. He said that if they want to fund bridge repair, they should not do it via a gasoline tax as they want but rather by cutting some other needed program. Bush however did not mention whether the cuts would come from education, border security, medicare, etc....
But he sure acted like he could take it or leave it no matter what was decided.

Many Democratic countries like Britain and USA in particular, have forgotten what it means to be democratic. its all most like "you are free to do as we tell you"

We have the vote, but one devil is as bad as the other. Only the wealthy can afford to raise to power. the poor will never be heard

Apparently when Pearl Jam was trying to say “George Bush, leave this world alone” and “George Bush find yourself another home”, AT&T muted his words.

Okay, this is a very bizarre situation. My grandparents purchased a house on a very large property (six acres) in the 1960s. In the 1980's the property was subdivided and one acre was given to my parents to build their house on. The driveway that goes to our house branches off of the orginal one that leads to my grandparents house. Now, my grandparents are moving, and when we were looking at the property drawings we discovered that the entire driveway up to my grandparents house is actually on my parents property. This never posed a problem because we were all family, but new owners will be moving into my grandparents house soon. So, do my parents have the right to tell the new owners that they have to build themselves a new driveway? My parents are not trying to be difficult, but they do not want to be held responsible in case any accidents occur on the driveway.

Are these people really that stupid? It reminds me of the video during the invasion with the Iraqi general or what ever he was denying that the US was in Bagdad. When there were tanks all over the place. Just because we do not want to admit it is true does not make it not true.

It just seems like the politicians are in it for themselves. Or the lobbiest really. More money for someone and less power for the people of America.

Okay, so here it is...my husband is in the military. When he is out of uniform (or in for that matter), and someone asks what he does for a living, he will tell them. Why do people at that point think it is okay to give their opinion (usually people with a neg. opinion) about the military, or the war? When you find out someone is a lawyer (or some other disliked professioin), you don't automatically make rude comments to them. Why do people think it is okay to do that to our servicemen? Nobody asked what their opinion was! I TRULY don't understand peoples' need to voice their unwanted, unasked opinions to our soldiers. It's like they aren't capable of showing respect to that person, simply because they don't agree with the war, or do not understand the military itself. I am sure that there isn't any good answer to this, but I pose the question anyways... Why? I can think of no other profession that deserves the respect that this one does, even if you don't agree w/ the war.

Whites are now in the minority in nearly one in 10 U.S. counties. And that increased diversity, fueled by immigration and higher birth rates among blacks and Hispanics, is straining race relations and sparking a backlash against immigrants in many communities.

"There's some culture shock," said Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington-based research agency. "But I think there is a momentum building, and it is going to continue."

As immigrants face skyrocketing application fees from the federal government, a new proposal by Supervisor Chris Daly could give financial assistance to those applying for citizenship.

Under a new fee structure the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services implemented last week, an immigrant applying for a green card would pay $930, an increase of $605. Other fees that increased were citizenship applications, which went from $330 to $595.

Apparently no, the CFR is.
[snip]
Once the CFR member or CFR collaborator U.S. president is elected, he has appoints well over one hundred CFR members to various key government positions. This has been going on since its founding in 1921. The Federal Reserve, Supreme Court, and State Department (foreign relations) are dominated by Council on Foreign Relations members. Top Defense Department and CIA positions are held by CFR members.
*********************************************************

Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate "NOT" influenced or supported by donations from the CFR.
