I live in california and in January of 05 the section 24400 of California motor vehicle laws became effective. It states that the center of the headlamp must be between 22 and 54 inches. I moved here before that and my car was modified but was still legal at that time. After 24400 was amended I was pulled over about 6 months later and given a ticket for my headlamp being 20". I tried to fight it in court but it felt like I was guilty until proven innocent. The judge stated to me unless i went to a peace officer and i got it fixed i was guilty.

Basically I feel like I am being prosecuted and convicted guilty for something that i'm innocent for. Now i am breaking the law because you changed the law, and that is crap. It would probably take 400 dollars for parts and labor to change back to factory height.

I took it up the *** this time, but next time they really need to get the shaft.

lets say a white guy from the USA tried to get a job at the CIA, but they denied him because he was a member of the Taliban (which can also be considered a political party). would the democrats and their ACLU "politburo" support him in suing the government because they "profiled" him and "discriminated" him based upon his religion/political affiliation? what if he considered himself a part of the taliban "race", would the US government be racist if they were to deny him a job because of this?

Times are changing, and older people that are in important positions today (senate/congress/office) are not thinking in terms of "todays" America. An analogy is how many older people think spanking as a form of punishment for kids is ok is greater than todays parents think it is.Also its not right that people that are going to die in 15 years are making decisions that effect people that have to live with it for thier whole life (40-60 years) after they are gone.

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don't want expensive produce.

Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. there is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

I came across Buildwill.com for creating a will. It cost roughly $50. Is it ok to do online will, compared to getting it done through attorney? My will is really simple, with no extra things attached. One attorney I contacted, is asking $250 for doing the will.

Please advise. (I live in CA)

The science is clear. We must act now to reduce the heat-trapping gases that cause global warming. "BY INVESTING" in clean, renewable energy sources, fuel-efficient transportation, and energy efficient technology, we can reduce our emissions 2 percent per year through 2050 as called for by leading scientists. States and local governments are already moving forward. It is time for Congress to act.

I'm only interested in a translation in what their version of "investing", not the global warming debate.

I assume that if you regularly post on Y!A Politics, you vote and probably pay your taxes. But what outside this do you do to improve your community, state and nation?

Volunteer at a shelter?
Election judge?
Service organizations?
Coach sports?
Other activities?

Like my brother some 3600 otehr Americans have died. They are gone not for freedom or anything honorable. They are gone becuae bush lied. Colon Powell pounded his finger on the UN desk with "facts" about chemical trailers. My borhter was there. There were no chemical trailers. NONE.

Bush said Sadam was buying eriched urnium from Africa. My borhte was there. Ther wasn't any enriched uranium.

My brother said none of the WMDs or any og it existed. NOt jst him but letters by other soldeirs said the same thing. There weren't any of it. That is whe y brother relaized it was all a lie. He knew it. He once beleived in bush and wanted to fight the enemy the terrorist. He said he wanted America to be safe.

Then he found all of the things that bush claimed were not true. We got letters from him, and his friends. None of the tings Rumsfield said were true.

Identity stolen. Person used it to register a car and run up charges on a cell phone account that he opened.
The car incedent was already taken care of in court. (Decided that it was not me who opened it, but it was State vs. Person, I was not included).
The cell phone, just got a police report and sent it to the colection agency.

Now that i took care of all of that, with an average lawyer, how much would I be able to get (suffering, etc).
