its actually marijuana. Do you really feel like some sort of monster will come out of the person? Do the people that think the "Reefer Madness" movie was true not know that pot actually calms people?

Here's a peculiar thing about the holier-than-thou Campaign Finance Reform crowd. Whenever the stench of dirty money starts wafting from Democrat Party coffers, the clean election lobbyists are nowhere to be found. They'll raise hell and hackles over American corporate donors. But when it's shady foreign operators infusing cash into our electoral system, you'll only hear one sound: the deafening swell of crickets chirping.
Hillary and Bill Clinton have declared themselves "shocked" at revelations about one of the Democrat Party's mysterious, deep-pocketed bagmen, Hong Kong native Norman Hsu. Hsu, a prodigious Democrat donor, was arrested last week after having evaded the law for 15 years over grand theft swindling charges. Hsu pleaded no context to those charges and was supposed to serve jail time. Instead, he managed to remain a fugitive while raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democrat candidates and officeholders

i hear i can carry a weapon legally but there is a stipulation. is it that you can carry an unloaded weapon? can i at least have the clip on my person? i would look like a fool with a gun in my purse and the clip in my truck. they are guaranteed not to always be in the same place. i travel alone most times unless my 9 year old is with me and i am concerned with both our safety alot. i never want to shoot anyone but if it comes down to who shoots who first then i would like to have a fighting chance. the world is today what it is and whether we like it or not we gotta play the same game to survive.

Hillary and Al are clearly the best choice for you and your friends. Even the neo cons are coming around realizing that the Republicans are all non starters. Hard to match the spirit and tenacity of the Democrats.

According to U.S. Department of Justice, violent crime rates have decreased steadily since 1994.

Back in 1994, the violent crime rate was about 50 violent crimes per 1,000 people. In 2005, it was around 20 per 1,000. (Source: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/viort.htm )

To what do you attribute this rapid decline?

I understand the need for protecting the interests of the smaller states. But why should a candidate get the all the votes of a state if he only gets, say, 51% of that states popular vote?

My husband is in the Army and he wants to reclass to get out of his current MOS. He can't reenlist until Aug. 2008 but does this apply to reclassing as well? He's trying to reclass from a 63H (track vehicle mech.) to 11B (infantry). Any ideas?

My sister attends a private school. They have always worn uniforms, this year it has changed a little. The girls have to wear uniform pants, shorts or skirts all from a paticular uniform store costing 44-54 dollars each. The guys are allowed to wear jeans bought from anywhere.

She is in 10th grade, the school is K-12 and is Christian Private. But, still, isnt this discrimination? Isnt it wrong that the girls have to spend so much more money than the boys? Are Christian Private's allowed to make up their own rules without penalities? Could there be a discrimination case?

It's not front story news in the US for obvious reasons, but everyday there are immigrant mostly women and children being shot and murdered at the border. The minutemen are the suspected assasins, yet they're being held as heroes protecting our borders. I don't think too many people would be as supportive if they saw the gruesome results of their actions.

Right now, my husband is a 63H, looking to reclass to an 11B. Is this possible? I know he has a "reenlistment window", which doesn't open up until like August 2008 or something like that. But, does that apply to reclassing? I'm only asking on here because we are in Germany and the retention/reenlistment counselors haven't been any help what-so-ever. He REALLY wants out of his MOS so... Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
