I have not worked in over a year because my doctor had placed me on restrictions and parial disability. My job did not have any work for me based on those restrictions. Once the doctor lifts those restrictions, is my employer (where I was injured) obligated to take me back and find me a position? If I have no more restrictions?

Is it the U.S. Marines via an amphibious landing or the U.S. Army Airborne units via air insertion and parachuting?

I go see a lawyer on Friday to pay the retainer fee and do my consultation, but I was wondering if it was possible to get sole custody of my son. My sons father is sitting in jail on numerous drug charges, he lived with a felon and was cought with 29 grams of meth and 9.9 grams of cocaine. I want to be able to cut him out of mine and my sons life. Is it possible that a judge will go for this? I live in Nebraska. Should I ask my lawyer if I can do this, or not even try if it wont even happen? My lawyer is a former JAG lawyer, and my hubs is in the military and we want him to be able to adopt my son.

All the haters chanting death to America-what the hell is wrong with you? Do you ever see any Americans chanting Death to wherever and burning flags like degenerates? I know I am from big bad America but i have a right to live free as all of you do in your countries unless you live under a dictator-then that's your responsibility to work towards change. Burning American flags or American human beings for that matter, will not change things in your country. We have a right to live as we wish and love and laugh and experience all the things you want for yourself as well. We are people too, not the ridiculous, sinister construct you all have created. You don't like my government? I hate yours...but I don't want 2 million of your children dead. losers.

While I disagree with their hate for liberals, homosexuals, minorities, egalitarianism, and the ACLU, and their belief in the "liberal jewish media" myth... (Check their websites. This is true).

I believe everybody deserves the right to speak. The government should not be censoring anybody, and I would prefer if groups/individuals outside the government didn't do it either.

I'm sure conservatives who are not as fanatical as right-wing neo-nazis and klan members also agree.

Does that mean you agree with their message?

No.

So why does the university's decision to allow the fundie president of Iran to speak, mean they support his beliefs???

I occasionally run into police officers and EMT personnel who believe in a right to dignity that supersedes the First Amendment and I shouldn't take pictures of people in accidents. Is there a right to be treated with dignity in the U.N. Charter?

Third Amendment – Protection from quartering of troops.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

A list from the lowest to highest ranking would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to find out if a Commander is higher on the totem than a Sergeant. But a list would be fine. Thanks!

by regulating what chain restaurants are allowed to put in their food, ie., transfat, saturated fat, etc?

My opinion is, I don't want it to come to government regulation, but I do want to see this junk taken out of the foods.

If the restaurants do not take this stuff out of their foods voluntarily, then I don't care if the government regulates it.

It would be good to be able to sit down at a restaurant and eat a meal, other than a salad, and not eat 10 grams of transfat and 12 grams of saturated fat. It's ridiculous.

Isn't Israel all grown up now? John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's book THE ISRAEL LOBBY AND U.S. FOREIGN POLICY points out how continued unwavering support of the Zionist state is undermining our credibility and security in world.

Isn't it about time we cut Israel loose? The 3 billion + dollars we send to Israel a year would be so much better spent in this country (i.e. the bridge collapse in Minnesota).

How long are we in this country going to let Christian and Jewish Zionist and their ilk lie and twist our foreign policy forcing us into intractable situations?

Now they want us to attack Iran!

What Iran has and too many conservatives want:
-rabbid fundaMENTALIsm
-monotheism as sectarian law
-killing gays
-massive censorship
-total seperation from the U.N.

We dont have the heinous injustices they have in Iran NOT because of conservative virtue but liberal virtue?
Upsetting to the far right?
What would the far right do with unlimited power?
Go back to McCarthyism, blacklististing, and segregation?

God bless the ACLU,etc for not letting that happen.

your thoughts on this?

Would you support a complete boycott of anything imported that can be made here? Bring the jobs and money back home? Would you boycott companies that outsource customer service, manufacturing, or even parts sourcing out of the country?
Why or why not?

My husband (British) and I (American) are considering a move to Wales, my husband's homeland. He's lived in the US (Michigan) for almost 10 years, but wants to go back to the UK. I have no idea what an international move consists of, let alone the quality of life compared to the US. Has anyone done this, have any advice for me?

consider the words of Marshall McLuhan: "only small secrets need to be protected, the big ones are protected by public incredulity"? Are those who must believe the government conspiracy version of 911 overcome by irrational incredulity that blinds them to another possible truth?
