"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people" (p. 20). Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her health care plan.

Can't trust the American people, the very ones who elect people like you to power?

"I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe" (p. 76). Hillary in 1996.

If she's a fan, why doesn't she move over there instead of forcing Americans to try and live by her standards?

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society" (p. 121). Hillary as first lady.

Isn't America supposed to encourage individuality?

Arguments?

apart from this it also gives you power to get your issues solved quickly, national issues like Kashmir, LOC, River link project and many major and minor issues touching all aspects can not be tackled with multi party bosses blocking or strangling the Cabinet decisions at many stages. Look at the Nuke deal, Looks at the Iran Gas Pipe Line.. Look at the Liberalisation and Privatisation policies. Not a inch can be moved without support of allies.. Burning issue of Population control, Pollutions of Air water is not addressed seriously. But Waste of Time is more in walkouts , fights, abuses, shouting. This 60 years gone and many parts of India are not linked with roads, electricity, shcools, hospitals, bridges, rails .. Poor are dying without food and rich are dying out of threats from Kidnappers demanding ransom.
We can not travel in security in trains, on road We can not enjoy the money we have earned legitimately.

If I copy movies and/or music and give them away how could this be illegal since I have purchased the item(s) (Music and the disk) and have legal ownership of the disk and it's contents and I am not selling them?

A similiar example would be if I bought a ford mustang and decided to reproduce a mustang exactly by whatever means I have at my disposal and give them away, this is not illegal, in fact it happens daily to many products, So how is the music and movie companies able to make it illegal for the consumer (legal owner) to reproduce there product for his own consumption and use providing he is not profiting from them? Where is the theft?

Hi,
I am shipping out with the NAVY in Feb 11,2008 I will be Hospital Corpsman. I will be Reserve since I already have some education(in other fields) and am already somehow established, however I would love to have the opportunity of working in the Health industry(I live in Miami and this is probably the only safe industry here lately) I am not sure that this 14 weeks training program with the NAVY will help me much in the Civilian world. I was wondering if any of you out there could advise me how to make the most of this rating, I am not even sure if I will be a paramedic once training is over.

1. Advertisers Wary of ‘To Catch a Predator’

NBC’s sting-operation segments “To Catch a Predator” have scored solid ratings and created positive buzz among viewers, but the network appears to be scaling back its commitment to the program — because the content reportedly makes advertisers uneasy.

So far this year NBC has filmed only one sting operation for the program — which airs as a segment of its “Dateline NBC” newsmagazine — compared with seven last year.

The most recent episode, on July 25, included six national spot ads, significantly fewer than normal for a show in NBC’s prime time, according to The New York Times.

“Some advertisers say they are wary of being associated with the show’s content, in which men lured to a house by the promise of a sexual encounter are instead surprised by [host Chris] Hansen and then arrested,” the Times reports.

And Andy Donchin, a director at the ad agency Carat USA, told the Times: “We’re all concerned with what content we’re associating ourselves with.”

The program’s producers work with a pedophile watchdog group, Perverted Justice, whose members pose as underage Internet users and converse with adults in chat rooms. If a conversation turns sexual, the “underage” Web surfer agrees to meet the adult in person. When the adult arrives at the meeting place, he is confronted by Hansen and a film crew and arrested by local police.

The program — which first aired in November 2004 — is currently facing two lawsuits, one stemming from a suicide.

Perverted Justice maintains that Louis Conradt, a prosecutor in Terrell, Texas, engaged in sexual conversations online, but he did not show up at the meeting place. Police obtained an arrest warrant, and as officers and “Predator” crewmembers approached his home, Conradt shot himself in the head on Nov. 5, 2006. His sister filed a lawsuit against NBC in July, seeking $105 million in damages.

In the other suit, former “Dateline” producer Marsha Bartel asserted that she was fired because she opposed what she called the program’s unethical production practices. She contends that Perverted Justice did not keep accurate transcripts of the online conversations between the predators and the watchdog group’s members.

Brian Montopoli of the CBS News Public Eye blog — and a former staffer at the Columbia Journalism Review — has maintained that the program is in some cases a form of entrapment.

He has also argued that while legal punishment of predators is left to police and prosecutors, airing the suspects on national television is already a form of punishment that the media has no right to inflict.

In addition to the bad publicity and advertiser reticence, “Predator” is also expensive to produce, according to the Times.

Regarding the network’s seeming reluctance to commit to the show, Brad Adgate, senior vice president for research at the ad-buying agency Horizon Media, told the Times: “NBC’s probably thinking about what their return on investment is, and might be thinking it’s better to move on.”

Okay, I'm 31 and never voted. Why? Because I never felt informed enough TO vote. So I want to know... How many of you Americans honestly will vote? and if you know you won't, please tell me why.

We need to make some changes in the U.S., but in order to do that - we need to be informed and VOTE.

I would like to figure out who all the candidates are..find out their position on the "important" issues and do a spreadsheet. So, what are the issues that are important to YOU? help me out, so we CAN make a change!

With M/s Bush & Cheney vehemently refusing to de-escalate the Iraq War and upping the ante for war against Iran, it wouldn't be long before a draft is imposed on the Americans.

To the American voter come 08 elections? The neocon TROLL BOSS sure doesn't like it when valid questions are being asked in the Politics section of Yahoo. I am sure the Neocon TROLL BOSS will want to censor this question because they have no answers except to try to blame their own actions on a Democrat without any facts to their claims. The American voter isn't being fooled by this though. Neocon spin means next to nothing just like their answers here. Who else wants change and to be free of these tyrants?
