Given that:

(1) Measured in terms of income, the differences among most of us translate into factors that are temporary and/or within our control, like geography (which correlates to different costs of living), education (which correlates to delaying your income for 4-7 years), experience (which correlates again to time), occupation (which correlates to difficulty of and hours at your job)?

(2) Measured in terms of wealth, the trends are just as fluid as income but take longer to take form (people saving up over many years)?

(3) "Poor" in the US is "rich" or "middle class" in most countries and much nicer than "poor" in the US was a generation or two ago?

(4) So many of our "poor" are immigrants or 1st generation citizens which means their poverty is a function of the economic policies not of the US but of their countries of origin - indeed they came here for a better chance at escaping poverty which many seem to be realizing?

(5) The ranks of the "rich" keep growing?

In a state like California that has medical marijuana would a police officer be able to use medical marijuana since it's technically legal? I wonder because I think police get a lot of funding from the federal lever as well as state and marijuana, even medical marijuana is illegal according to federal laws. Also, in a state without medical marijuana if a cop were involved in a shooting or crash or something he would be drug tested and probably in a lot of trouble if he had pot in his system, even if he were not high at the time, so in a state where a cop was legally using medical marijuana for medical purposes would he also be in trouble for having it in his system. Because of the discrepencies between federal and state laws I thought this would be an interesting question.

General Petreaus was asked to give a report. He did. He gave it to congress.
Then why is congress so upset, just because the report didn't say what congress wanted it to say?
Is this congress's way of trying to cover up the fact that they don't have a clue as how to run the war?

With the unending differences continuing between leftists and the UPA particularly the congress party on the nuclear issue the days of Govt. of Manmohan Singh appear to be numbered. Can the readers predict as to how long will this Govt. last ? Do the readers agree that it may be a month or two and probably before the begining of next session of parliament the Govt. will fall ?

But then I think maybe we should stay out of other countries' affairs even if they are having a civil war. What do you think?

And yet another mother asked President Washington ...

Then long, long ago, a mother asked...
"Heavenly Father

The answer is the same ..
"So that others may have life and dwell
in peace, happiness, and freedom."

This was emailed to me with no author.
I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.

Please support the Troops. Without them, you have no country.

A few days ago I received the rudest, slowest, incompetent service at a McDonalds drive thru window. The employee insulted me on a personal level & practically threw the bag of food into my hands. I retaliated by throwing the sleeve of large fries right back at her but unfortunately she closed the window quickly and the fries hit the window & fell to the ground.

Anyway, the next think you know, the police arrive at my house - tell me I must go back and apologize to the worker & sock me with a $200 littering fine.

I really did nothing wrong & plan to fight this littering ticket. I plan to plead not guilty & on my court date prepare a defense for myself claiming I tossed the fries out the window to feed the seagulls that normally wait for scraps in the parking lot.

What are my chances of having the fine dismissed?
