It may not even matter anymore. These two purveyors of hatred and socialism have joined forces to attack US efforts to detect illegals in our midst.

In this unholy alliance they have appealed to the infamous 9th Circut Court for help in gutting Homeland Security measures:

August 30, 2007

The AFL-CIO and ACLU yesterday sued to stop the Homeland Security Department from cracking down on illegal-alien workers, asking a federal judge to halt new checks on employees' Social Security numbers

I'm a US Citizen with a US Passport but I was adopted by American parents, which is how I gained my US Naturalization and whatever. But I was born in Honduras, and have been trying to find some information online about dual citizenship and a way to obtain it with Honduars and the US, so I could have 2 passports and gain a piece of myself back. But I have not been able to find a single thing about it, online. I've checked every government website...googled...everything. So any information about this would be greatly apperciated! Thanks!

I don't fully understand it, universal healthcare seems to be such a noble and caring cause. It gives all Americans the right to being healthy and living long and prosperous lives. As is, there are millions who can't afford healthcare who are suffering from no being able to see a doctor when they need it. Not only that but many people who do have healcare can barely afford their premiums and their copays. No matter what political party you come from why is it such a bad idea to help people by providing them with free healthcare(I know it isn't completely free; taxes)? Is it that conservative/republicans don't care about the health and welfare of the underprivileged american? I can understand why they would be pro-life or pro-gun control, but I can't understand why they won't support peoples health and welfare, it just doesn't make sense to me. Please someone enlighten me.

I think that he would never admit that under any circumstances and every 'Generals report' time frame is meant to keep prolonging and to ask for more patience and more patriotism and more soldiers and more money.

How many assessment time frames have we endured already?

...or a top star from WWF Wrestlemania would make an excellent Vice Presidential candidate.

The southern, rural, and urban bubbas, jethros, and ellie mays would once again be solidly in the pockets of the Republican party. ... Add to this the voter blocks of better-than-thou christians, plus the wild-eyed, my baby is my weapon, Ted Nugents ... and the Republican party could be back to pre-screwed-up-the-whole-country strength.

But where I live now the prison is in quite an affluent part of the Island. The prisoners recently went on strike because they have no air conditioning, which is against their human rights apparently they are going to get it. Also the meals are said to be very good as they grow all their own vegatables. they are allowed to sunbath in the Exercise yard, and the prison is quite close to all the embassies so its quite handy really. This was also the case when I lived on another Island. They are also allowed to go to other prisons close to where their relatives live,because it would cost to much to keep paying for relatives to visit, so prison officers spend a considerable amount of time at airports, either taking a prisoner,or waiting for one to come back. Then they get a free lift back to their digs at the prison. Think I might book 2 weeks? what do you think?

Ok driving REALLY frustrates me and I never know what to do..whats RIGHT..or what everyone else is doing??
The speed limit is 60..but if I do that (on the 'slow' lane even) I get tail gated, people swerving out from behind me to cut back in front..ok I do 65..same thing..where does one 'call it' because I get sick N tired of morons half trying to kill me. If I play along and go with the flow..Im liable to get a speeding ticket..if I dont, I get extremely pissed off with the tail gaters and cutters-in-front and feel like Im causing mayhem.
How do cops view the speed limit and what advice to follow?
To be fair I have passed cops doin speed checks and I was 5-10 over the limit and they hav'nt stopped me..perhaps I was lucky.
I get the feeling people in the U.s. really cant drive as they take out their aggression for lack of happiness on the road, with their Beemers and 70k modded 4 bangers..
