Is America on autopilot? Is anybody behind the wheel of our economy? I'm not so sure if Americans would have done any worse even if we hadn't elected a President. It just seems as though Bush was elected, sat in the presidents' chair and did nothing while Cheney and buddies at Haliburton and Bush's Oil buddies got rich. The rich and greedy are taking advantage of the poor by taking their homes instead of lowering interest rates where they can afford them. The rich and greedy are taking the contracts in New Orleans to build townhome and masion instead of giving the contracts to the contractors living in New Orleans so that could be back their homes that they lost.

Every vote should count! This is just one example of aristocracy that Alexander Hamilton left behind.

This news story:

Dozens dead in Mexico truck crash and blast
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070910/ts_nm/mexico_blast_dc_3;_ylt=AgO0U5VeKOU6VNVgG3uR7mIE1vAI

underscores the danger of letting Mexican trucks onto US roadways... this was a truck loaded down with explosives, driven by a diver who probably didn't have HAZMAT certification... a simple traffic accident turned into a horrible tragedy, which could have been avoided if a few simple safety principles had been adhered to.

Do we really want this on US roads?

I was watching the news and heard about "legal" preteen modeling, so i wasn't familiar with it, and as usual I search it. So i searched and I was disguisted at all the TONS of sites that allow this. Do these kids have parents? How can children ages 5-17 posing in thongs, showing camel toes, cleavage, spreading there assets and all that stuff be legal?

We we're founded on a nonpartisan form of government. (ie George Washington curse) I am neither Democrat or Republican, I am simply American.
"They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force--to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government..."

I am a hardcore democrat and absolutely despise Clinton. Why; because she is more for corperate gain rather then the gain of the American people. She has records of selling out several times during her political career and accepting "gifts" from healthcare and insurance lobbyists. She seems like she won't do anything for this country and all will remain the same in regards to all the problems our country has.

I am afraid that is whe gets elected in the primaries(which she probabley will) I will have a very difficult time even bring myself to vote for her, or the republican candidate at that. It will be like choosing the lessor of two evils which is Never a good situation to be in. Does anyone else feel this way?

Ok its probably a little early for me to be thinking about this but I can't help it! My son is 5 now and was born missing the entire right side of his diphram. He has a patch but I was wondering if his birth defects could stop him from joining the military in the future if he wanted too. He also has 1 operating kidney. Like I said a bit early but I want too know because he wants to follow in his Uncles' foot steps already! God Bless Our Troops!

In response to my activity on this site, I received an email from another user with links to 20 webpages that "prove" that the average American, is either against deporting the illegals or think that it is impossible.
How do you view these polls? have any of you been involved in one or more? Have any of you been teh asker who calles the participants?
I have and I have found out, firsthand that polls are as fake as anything you will see in "Professional Wrestling".
The desired outcomes are predetermined and preliminary qualifying questions are the norm. if you do not fit into the scheme, you don't qualify, and the REAL results of these polls are neither scientific, nor realistic.
Remember that the large media outlets have an agenda and a reason for ruining the workforce with illegals who will take our jobs!
What did I do about this job, taking polls? I QUIT AND TURNED IN 100% ACCURATE INFORMATION TO MY BOSS. IT GOT TOSSED, GARANTEED

This...really really really annoying lady, mother of my ex, has spread BS about me around a site, GaiaOnline.com.
I told her to stop, even quoting law to her.

not 24 hours later, she posted more BS, and EVEN USED MY REAL NAME.

This is the final straw. I have allready reported her to the site, but the police are hearing this one.
How do I report this? I have screenshot records...

I'm in college and I'm also greek, and I want to start throwing parties on my own and I have a good idea how to do it. My questions is how do I get liquor involved legally? It seems that is where the real money is made. With college parties you aren't (legally) allowed to have liquor on the premises but I want to throw a New Years Party with about 400 people..and call it Auld Lang Sine with a "grown and sexy theme"

I live in an apt build. on the 3rd floor. Someone had thrown some trash, (2 cig butts and a paper towel) on the stairway leading up to the 3rd floor, which also happens to have 3 other apts besides mine. Someone assuming for some reason that this was me littering put the garbage on my welcome mat.

I angrily threw it back where it was and shut my door. (I know I could have thrown it away, but I did not want this person to put all future garbage found on my mat. A few hrs later I open my door and the garbage was again put on my mat. I then attached a note on my door to the garbage patrol that it was not my garbage and if they had a problem to knock and we'd settle it. I also mentioned they should get a life.

Is there any better way to settle this? Should I knock on the other 3 doors? I really mind my own business and would like to live in a peaceful environment with no hostility.

Thank you for your time.

I heard a bunch of Republicans say the surge is working and we need to keep the war going.

I heard a bunch of Democrats say the surge is not working and we need to keep the war going.

But I only heard one person tell the truth. "The red pigs want to keep the war going because they feed out of the trough of carnage and the blue pigs want to keep it going for votes! Either way is reprehensible."

My exboyfriend drove us to his house after we got off work on my Bday. We had both been drinking and got in a fight once we got there. He took my phone and wouldn't let me inside He called the police I ended up going to jail for a PI cause I had no where to go and wasn't going to drive. He also called my work and I may not have a job anymore. He bailed me out with my car payment money. If I'd had a choice I would have sat it out cause I don't have the money.

I took my dad's 9mm beretta which is legally registered to him, WITHOUT any ammunition and with no intent of use, just to show my friend up the street what a gun was really like because he had never seen one before. I accidently left it there forgetting to take it home with me. The police later raided his house for a completely different reason, but found my gun in the process and charged him with having a gun not registered to him in his possession. They ran the serial number on the gun and my dad's name came up, but the police have yet to contact me and they have had the gun in their possession for over 3 weeks now. I am 17 years old. What can I be charged with? I've been thinking something along the lines of illegal transporting of a weapon or something like that but if anyone has any law knowledge please let me know what I'm looking at.
