Politics & Government - 12 September 2007

I was stopped for suspected DUI and was taken to have a blood test done. While at the hospital, the officer told me to sign something. I told him they could take my blood but I didnt feel comfortable signing anything. He told me I had 2 choices
1. Sign and they take my blood and I go to jail
OR
2. Dont sign and I can go home

At the time, option 2 sounded like the best choice. Once we got back to the station he said by not signing I had admitted guilt and would lose my license. I asked to go back and I would take the test but was told no, I had no further options...I had my chance.
I guess my question now is:
Is there anything I can do to get out of it?

I know I made a mistake but shouldn't they advise me of the laws? Ignorance of the law is no excuse but it was as if he was purposely pushing me to make the wrong choice.

It seems to me they must not be very secure in their viewpoints if they can't handle other opinions. What do you think?

Actually, it is a killing field for our enemies. What better way could we get them?

Iraq is a trap for Al Qaeda. Our mere presence in the heart of the Osama's Caliphate-To-Be draws them like ants to sugar. General Petraeus just reported that

"...in the past 8 months, we have considerably reduced the areas in which Al Qaeda enjoyed sanctuary. We have also neutralized 5 media cells, detained the senior Iraqi leader of Al Qaeda-Iraq, and killed or captured nearly 100 other key leaders and some 2,500 rank-and-file fighters. Al Qaeda is certainly not defeated; however, it is off balance and we are pursuing its leaders and operators aggressively." More on the link...

They obviously didn't do enough research for this story... how about those of us who go further than 5 miles in order to get to work every day?

I don't even want to know how long it would take me to bike 50 miles, one way, to work!

Syria says

SYRIA AT U.N.


"We think the Israeli purpose behind such an aggressive act is to torpedo the peace process, to torpedo the idea of holding an international conference," Syrian Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari told reporters.


Asked about Hezbollah's weapons, Ja'afari said, "This is blah, blah. This is nonsense, this is an unfounded statement. It is not up to the Israelis or anyone else to assess what we have in Syria."


"There was no target," he added. "They dropped their munitions. They were running away after they were confronted by our air defense."

tobacco use and set emisions laws. Yet these people still drive. I could respect them to a degree if they actually lived in a tent and rode a bike. But they mostly don't. And this is a common view point. The way I see it, these people (often yongens) have been brain-washed by CONSTANT liberal propaganda. Because the message of liberalism is more perfect than of libertarians. But anyone with a brain, knows you can't make the world perfect and even if you can, its no ones right to do it with force.

After 9/11/2001 Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell and Rumsfeld committed a fedreal felony by misleading and distorting information given to Congress to persuade them to give Bush the authority to go to war with Iraq. They used forged paperwork, bits and pieces of known information about chemical weapons and nuclear weapons in Iraq. Even going as far as to use a piece of information from 1993 where Saddam Hussein's son-in-law confessed that they use to have a little bit of these things, but leaving out the important part where he said under his authority everything was destroyed. Thereby leaving the impreachion that they still had this stuff. They did this with full knowledge that inspectors kept giving them that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Why are these people still being paid by our government?t?

My husband and I lived in a apartment in Southern California for a year and we moved out, and the apartment was very clean no damage. We moved to Arizona, and gave them our forwarding address. They told us the day of the inspection that we should be recieving our full deposit. In the state of California they have 21 days to give us our full deposit or what they took out of it. We recieved nothing. I have been calling them, and gave them two numbers they can reach me at, they never call me back. It's been over 21 days, nothing. I contacted Tentants Legal Center and they told me to sue them, I don't know how much to sue them for considering the cost to fly out back to California, getting a lawyer, etc... I need some help.

I was wondering, if I am suing a corporation that is at obvious fault, do I have to hire an attorney? Can I send them a letter explaining what happened, police reports, proof, receipts, hospital bills and witness statements and ask that we settle it one on one, out of court and no attorneys? Also, if I do send them this information is it legal to tell them I want to go to the media and tell them what happened to me because of the company’s negligence, if they are unwilling to compromise?

Who else would know anything about running a country like Iraq except for the people who have already been running it in the past.
The Suni's can choose between being a minority in a town that hates them, or siding with the U.S., making the same noises as republicans about fighting terrorism and keeping the oil flowing. They will get along fine.
Once they turn the control back to the Sunni's they can declare victory and bring the troops home!

Is this true or not?
