Since the Congress is incompetent and cannot do what 70% of the country wants them to do (for those of you who have been living under a rock for 5 years, that is ending the War on Iraq), the Iraqi resistance will have to do it. Al-Sadr believes that the puppet government of Iraq is about to fall (see: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/20/europe/EU-GEN-Britain-Al-Sadr.php ). Will al-Sadr bring down the government of Iraq and end this War since nobody in Washington has enough intelligence to figure how to end it?

How do you get a Red Light Photo traffic violation removed?
I live in MN and I recieved a Red Light Photo ticket in the mail from TX, on a vehicle that I had sold over a year ago. How can I get this ticket removed if I don't know the current owner of the vehicle? Can the TX DA's office remove it because the police department there has been no help?


I do not have a bill of sale, I know the vehicle has been sold since I have sold it. I sent the TX department documentation showing that I have removed the title. The MN DMV also shows I am not the registered owner of the vehicle, I am just the last registered owner. The MN DMV state the vehicle has been sold to an unkonwn party. How am I still responsible?

One of my friends wrote on a CD about a missing person saying they're staying at a house and wrote a liscense plate number of a nearby car on it. He signed the name of a real missing person on it and someone found it. The police arrived at the house the next day asking about it. He doesn't live here, so they were not able to talk to him immediatly. What charges if any could he face?

I recently got an advisory letter from the Illinois SOS about two recent speeding tickets on my license. I received both tickets in Michigan but live in Illinois. I read that there is an agreement between most states called the Interstate Driver License Compact where they will share information regarding certain types of traffic convictions, and reports on traffic violations and suspensions are forwarded to the home state of the nonresident. However I also read that that Michigan does not participate in this agreement. So how/why did my Michigan tickets end up on my driving record if there is no exchange of information between Michigan and Illinois?

it seems like liberals want to lock up us good morale people. Its probably because GOPers are better people who love America..for instance, more GOPers have Metals of Honor, and are willing to fight for America, freedom, apple pie, and all thats right with the world..

In recent years I have noticed a significant increase in the number of people in poor communities with braces. Upon questioning several people in my orthodondist's office, including the billing staff, I found out that medicaid covered the full cost ~2000 dollars. This orthodontist has hundreds of poor families using medicaid to pay for their braces, so he gets hundreds of these customers, and the customers get free braces while the middle class ends up paying for it all. Why are our tax dollars being used to give a guy's seven kids FREE cosmetic dental work, which is a LUXURY item. Whats next, free tooth whitening or perhaps free facelifts. When will we wake up and do something about this system that rewards the poor and scams the middle class?

I am on a debate team at my school && I'm needing knowledge and opinions on the Fairness Doctrine. So if you can tell me what you think of it, information on it, where I can get information on it, and how I can view the actual doctrine, that would be great

Hi there,

Someone said this down the pub the other day and I was wondering if it was true.

If you are caught drink driving on the way home and you suspect you are over the you can refuse a breathe test. Once you are back at the station you can ask for your lawyer to be present? This can help you 'sober up' and pass the blood test.

I in no way condone drink driving and think it would be a bit of a loop hole in the law if this were possible.

Thanks,

Just curious, there used to be a rule (most likely an "unwritten rule") that said if you were the youngest male with your last name you could not be drafted or at least would not be sent to any places where you life would be in extreme danger. I heard about something like that when I was kid but I wasn't sure if it was a real rule.

I've often wondered what causes rent to increase so FREQUENTLY in the USA, especially in BIG CITIES like New York and Chicago. The only answer that I can think about is the number of illegals in our country.

What else can it be? Rent goes up when there is an increase in the amount of people in a given area (sociology of overpopulation 101).

Not only are illegals making hard for those born in the USA, they [the illegals] are making it hard for legal immigrants in this country.

Gettting back to the rent issue, what causes rent increase?

Secondly, is the amount of illegals in this country responsible for the insane rent increase that most check-to-check people have to deal with?

If so, why don't Americans stand up and speak their mind?

Your input?
