If you don't wear one you are only endangering yourself. Why not let people die if they want to.

They have been hinting at it for a while now, Wilt Al-Maliki having talks with Iran and both sides shooting at our troops escalating.

I think they are tired of us "putting a lid on their civil war" instead of hunting Al Quieda like we are supposed to be doing.

With our government doing very little to curb it, that this is causing racial tensions? And if they would just DO something one way or another this would lessen those tensions?

For , it would be Hillary Clinton. Her ideas are absurd and irrelevant. She is unworthy of the office of President.

Can a niece or nephew be responsible for their Uncle's medical bills? I have an uncle that I do not have a relationship with, but I know he has parkinson's and is spending a lot of money. At present he has many assets, but this may go a long time. Could some state agency ever come to me and claim that I owe them? I have a fear of such a thing, even though I have never seen that happen. Anyone know??

Our economy runs on oil. My job and YOUR job depends on oil. Oil is a vital American interest. Heck, Oil is a vital interest of EVERY nation on the planet. Seems to me, a war 'all about the oil' is a very good reason to HAVE a war!

Don't get me wrong, I don't like war any more than anyone else does. But if you believe a nation has a right to defend its well being and protect its vital interests, Oil wars seem inevitable. Tell me how I'm wrong. (or right - in either case make a strong logical argument)

O.J. has continually been called a murderer and killer by the Goldman family and many other public people, despite the fact that he was found not guilty of the crime.
Isn't there any legal protection from this? Or does the civil responsibility case allow for this? I would hope that think if someone started calling me a killer, I would have some legal rights to protect me.

In your opinion, do you believe John Ellis "Jeb" Bush would be the best Presidential Candidate for 2008? Why or why not?

I believe Jeb Bush would be the best candidate for the following reasons;

1. He is related to three great American Presidents. George W. Bush (Brother), George H.W. Bush (Father) and Franklin Pierce (Great-Great-Great Uncle).

2. He would be very passionate about helping the American People just as his brother and father who have shown great enthusiasm about helping the American People, especially America's Poor and Middle Class.

3. Jeb Bush would continue his brothers legacy of Hard Work and Success for Four More Years. George W. Bush is a Great Success and I am for sure his Jeb Bush could continue the success for Four More Years.

4. Jeb Bush would be respected by both Democrats and Republicans.

In other words, an insurgent/terrorist could be running away with an AK-47 or RPG in his hand & unless he had taken a shot at US troops those US troops CAN'T shoot back! How the heck can you win a war doing that?

The US military in Iraq isn't fighting a war they are acting as the Iraqi police force. And that ain't right.

I was selling something on Craigslist and was sent 3 money orders all for the amount of $800. I was only asking for a total of $500. They want me to send the excess somewhere else. I haven't taken it to the bank yet.
If I take it to the bank, will the bank tell me if it's fake??? Or should I take them to the Police, can they tell me if there legit??? I don't want to get into trouble. I just want to know if there real or fake.
The person who sent them is from MI. At least that's what it says.
Please help me out What do I do???
If they turn out to be fake, I assume I should take them to the police along with the envelope they mailed it in.
Help

I saw on the Military Channel last night a group of US troops in Iraq who were about to be ambushed & could see insurgents running around with AK-47s & RPGs & all they could do was watch them! How in heck do you win a war with those kind of rules? I can see how many people feel that the cowardly Dems, lib media & Moveon.org hurt the troops in Iraq but if those same troops can't even fire on the terrorists/insurgents when they want to, how the hell are they suppose to win the war?

They just use gay people as an example of a minority that doesn't get equal rights, but they never do anything about it!

How many of the democratic presidential candidates actually support gay marriage?
