Should I sue for camcorder repairs?

I went to a camera shop to buy a mount piece for my tripod. (The peice was missing). The employee put one on my tripod and said it fit so I bought it. I took it home and put my camcorder on tripod with the mount peice. The camcorder fell and broke (costing me about $1000 to repair). The mount peice simply popped off the tripod with my camcorder still attached. I contacted the company that sold me the mount peice and explained that their employee sold me a peice that didn't fit right which caused the camcorder to fall. Their customer service agent said $1000 seemed a bit high for a repair and offered me only $300 to cover all my costs. (I have all my receipts). I explained that even the manager at their store said employees are not suppose to try to match mount peices to tripods.

Any advise about this subject would be appreciated. I have considered filing at small claims court but don't know if I would win or not?

Do you think we should give each illegal immigrant a new Mustang?

"The average illegal immigrant family receives an average of $30,000 in governmental benefits! Yet they pay only about $9,000 in taxes per year. That creates a $21,000 shortfall that the American taxpayer has to make up. That's like buying each of these illegal immigrant families a brand new Mustang convertable each and every year!"--Robert Rector, Ph.D., The Heritage Foundation

Will it be beneficial or disastrous for the country to have an all-Democratic government?

We observed what happened with both a Republican White House and Congress. They could do almost anything they wish no questions asked. The result was debt, scandals, etc. How can the American people be assured that this won't happen with the Democrats? Maybe voters should consider electing a Republican president just to force the next administration to share power. Voters will select Best Answer.

If Sen. Clinton should be nominated by the Democrats, how will her gender play in the national election?

Even though other First World Nations have elected a woman to head their Governments we have not. In the circles that I travel in most people are not bothered by the idea of a woman president. However, I know there is still plenty of misogyny and sexism out there. How do you think this will affect the national election if she wins the Democratic nomination?

Was MoveOns claim that they "didnt know" the Ny times smear ad was 50%+ off before or after more $ was sent?

Even the Ny times public editor admits this was a train wreck from the start...and now were supposed to believe they "didnt know". Cmon, this is even wilder than any Pelosi spin in some time. And now its supposed to be poltically correct to send the full bill after the fact? Why not just apologize for the hack job done on a perfectly good and honest mans character and tell the pelosi/reid regime to sit down and shut up.

After all that has happened since 9/11 would you say this about Bush and the neocons. ?

"We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions -- by abandoning every value except the will to power -- they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies."

Is this a prefect example why illegal should get NY drivers license & will the pro amnstey make a Donation?

BREWSTER -- A Mt. Kisco man who was arrested by New York State Police this morning for allegedly speeding and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is an illegal immigrant, police said.

State Troopers Robert Lombardi and Christopher Esposito pulled over the car of Jose M. Arias, 25, around 2:10 a.m. this morning for allegedly driving 100 mph on Interstate 684 in North Salem, which has a posted speed limit of 65 mph.

Police say that Arias was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol and is an illegal immigrant. While attempting to put Arias in custody, police say he became combative and struck both officers. While being handcuffed, police allege Arias bit Lombardi on the left hand and forearm, causing bleeding. Lobardi was later treated and released from Putnam Hospital Center for lacerations and abrasions from the bite.

Arias was eventually restrained and taken into custody. Police say he has been charged with felony assault in the second degree, felony assault of a police officer, resisting arrest, DWI and other charges. He will be arraigned in the town of North Salem.http://www.newstimes.com/news/updates.php?id=1186571721&source=news_updates
Republican State Rep. Russell Pearce said he was unaware of an e-mail sent by a supporter who used the shooting of Phoenix police Officer Nick Erfle to try to raise money for the lawmaker in a possible run for Congress.

Charlie Powell, an outspoken foe of illegal immigration, sent the e-mail last week to dozens of people.

"The City of Phoenix is a Sanctuary City for illegals and what thanks does it get?" the e-mail read, in part. "One of its policeman is killed by an illegal. One thing you can do to protect your family is to contribute money for the election of Russell Pearce who is the driving force to move the illegals out of our communities.The e-mail asks donors to send contributions to the same post office box Pearce lists on his exploratory committee's Web site, www.pearce2008.com. Powell could not be reached for comment.

On Sunday, Pearce said that Powell, a longtime friend, should not have used Erfle's death to make the point that illegal immigration is a problem that must be dealt with. Pearce said he found out about the e-mail from a Channel 3 (KTVK) reporter.

"Charlie Powell is a good patriot who thought he was doing something good about a bad policy," said Pearce, referring to a Phoenix policy that prohibits officers from telling federal immigration officials about most encounters with undocumented immigrants involving minor offenses, though police detectives partner with federal immigration officers to investigate smuggling crimes, home invasions, gangs and other violent activity.

"It's shameful that we would have policies that would harm and hurt police officers."
