The thing we keep hearing about on the news here in Chicago. I've been finding it pretty interesting, but I'm starting to get confused. Can you explain it for me?

The dollar is weak and growing weaker as the FED showers the world with money! Big business with the support of our government has exported our good jobs, factories and industries to countries that pay a fraction of the wages paid in the USA. These same American traitors have permitted a huge illegal immigration which has further eroded our wage base in the USA. The FED in unison with big business created the housing and mortgage mess we are engaged in! Hell, Americans are not even good consumers anymore choosing to accept a negative savings rate and a declining standard of living as our future legacy. Not much left except to cut each others grass, and dine on a Big Mac while shopping for foreign goods at Walmart.

Our military machine is still a powerhouse capable of killing an unseen enemy 24/7 with the the flick of a finger. Unfortunately, it is largely a mercenary army comprised of all volunteers and paid professionals. We are as Rome was on the eve of her demise!

You know Grant made a lot of errors too lets talk about that and Wilsons league of nations? what was he thinking? Bill hasn't been president for more than 6 years now and I still see questions about him daily, as if they think pointing out his shortcommings somehow make up for Bush's many mistakes? So republicans, which is it? Do you feel love for Bill Clinton or do you believe that two wrongs make a right?

a certain news channel for example says it shows both sides, Why do they think that the news has two sides? Wouldn't News be better if they just said the facts without infusing it their personal views? Can you even really call it news if it is an analysis view of what happened? Why can't the news just tell us what happened, instead of giving their take on it?

If you sign a legal document, with a name that isn't yours, are you still legally binded to it if the person doesn't notice?

You would think we are all going to hell in a hand basket listening to the news. Every time we get close to an election the media makes it look as though the world is ending and only their favorite candidate can save us all.

If we don't protect our troops from this type of behaviour, can
we really call ourselves "Home of the Free and the Land of
the Brave"? We may be on two fronts already...but we have
plenty Cruise missiles, Daisy-Cutters, and the means to
deliver on target..There's an old saying..."Let George do it..!"

OK....LET 'GEORGE' DO IT ....He is our President and he
has shown no fear so far....therefore, tell the wimpy liberals
to set back and watch real men and women in action!

I bought goods online in June and didn't receive them, contacted store for refund - no joy, they wouldn't reply. So I contacted PAYPAL - they wouldn't do anything as 45 days had elapsed. I went to my bank and under the 'direct debit guarantee' I received a refund from the bank.
Next, I get nasty emails from paypal demanding I repay the amount into my (now restricted) account, even though I had no goods.
They have altered my transaction history to show that the June payment had failed when it had originally stated it cleared.
I have never had trouble paying anything and always paid on time, now I'm being 'victimised' by these clowns.

What shall I do next, legally.. I'm getting SO fed-up???

I am going to take my ex letting agents to court as they owe me £100 of my bond which they are witholding due to made up circumstances (which I can prove).

How do I go about taking them to the small claims? Do I need to send forms to the court? Send forms to them? If I pay the £100 to start things moving and they cave in and give me the money I owe, will I still get my £100 costs back as well or do we have to reach court for that?

Since the Sago mine accident, a bill about safety regulations for coal mines has sat in Congress without passing. Simple measures like making it mandatory for miners to carry radio or telephone equipment to signal their location after mine collapses were included in this bill, yet it has been tabled and not passed. Also included was regulation of the different types of mining, regulating the retreat mining that removes coal pillars holding up the mine ceilings. Now we have another collapse, with six men missing, three rescuers dead, and several others injured. Passage of this bill might have saved these lives. Should all coal mining be halted until this bill is passed? Should the safety of miners be more important than profits for the mine owners?

You have my blessings President Bush, its time we stop pussyfooting around with Iran and let the world know exactly that they are on thin ice.

Just copied from Yahoo's front page: Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, whose command includes the volatile southern rim of Baghdad and districts to the south, said his troops are tracking about 50 members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps in their area — the first detailed allegation that Iranians have been training fighters within Iraq's borders.

I am exspecting a settlement for a automobile accident and what I am wondering is how will social security count this money. I am on SSI. I was told by someone that if I spend the money then they would not stop my check. I plan on using the money to buy a home. Thanks to all of you for your answers.

In all other elections the person with the most votes win. The electoral college seems to be like a point spread in sports. Therefore the fix is in!
